Welcome to the 2023 Orioles where they announce everyone including the assistant jock strap washer.

Clarke Schmidt sounds like a regional manager of textiles company.

While we're here, I want to see Volpe fail miserably.

Did you see the stats?  Bullpen has a .218 BAA, and 6 walks in 26 innings before Gillaspie entered.  That is not a dumpster fire.  But Gillaspie is one of these guys whose command just blows some days and this was one of them. 

That's a little like the guy who drowns in a lake whose average depth is 2 inches. Some of the relievers have real good numbers, and some have bad numbers. The average is OK, but when your starters don't last long you've got to use the whole bullpen, noy just the guys who are pitching well.

But he’s the first option in a one run game vs the Yankees after the team had a day off?

I hate this gambling stuff being pushed by Kevin Brown.  

I get the feeling it's really not his thing either but he has to do it for the sponsor.  I don't sense much enthusiasm and he is a guy who you can usually tell when he is actually enthusiastic about something.  (Disclaimer: based on previous observation, I have no sound today).

      Getting to hear Jason Benetti, Carlos Pena and Kirk Gibson some of the afternoon was a treat. It was new to me earlier this year Gibson is still broadcasting almost a decade after his Parkinson's diagnosis...good for him. Benetti dumping the White Sox for the Tigers gives me some Miller to San Francisco vibes...he is excellent. Baseball as entertainment - it is wonderful that Carlos Pena, literally the player pushed aside so Scott Hatteberg could play offense more efficiently, has become a strong SABR-oriented analyst.

      I don't think the rookies get to pick what the wear.  I 100% am sure the vets are picking these outfits.

      How "fired up" are you with this Yankee series?

      I’d be shocked if the O’s do better than 2-4, and I’m half expecting them to go 1-5.

      I watched the inning where the Tigers scored their 2 runs.  Our friend Meadows had two check swings that easily could have been called strikes, but instead he walked to load the bases.  Carpenter popped out but then Perez had an insane at-bat where he fouled off a ton of pitches, wasn't fooled by anything, and then delivered a bases loaded double which proved to be the difference. Our guys would likely have whiffed on just about every pitch in those at-bats, but their guys have a crazy amount of confidence right now and it has served them very well.   I do think they have a good chance of winning out and ending with 88 just based on who they play, which means we have to go 3-3 this week or we are out of the 4 spot.  Hopefully their luck will finally run out against us (assuming we can win enough to get in), but if it doesn't, I would love to see them knock out the Yankees.

      If they played baseball another month maybe. Elias has been pretty much no comment on anything other than time is not on his. His last Lat issues had him control problems ( I Believe ) when he first came back. I'm just happy to have the others back.

      6 games left, they haven’t won more than one game in a series since the beginning of the month (against the White Sox for context). I see no reason to think they’ll do any better than 2-4 for remainder of the season.    Plus, i said it “feels” like. It’s an emotional response, not an analytical one. I’m going off the premise that they’ve been an absolute mess for quite a while and a playoff spot seems like a weird place to be for a team that’s played .400 ball since the All Star Break.  They could sweep the rest of the season, who knows? Just saying it feels bleak.
