A's broadcasters were talking about how these homeruns the last two nights have not been cheap shots.  Dallas Braden said ""you are paying full manufacturer's suggested retail price for these shots".

The only thing, the ONLY thing that could have made that Mountcastle grand slam any better would have been Palmer reminding everyone that he never gave one up. That kills me every time.

Tough to get to extra innings with Voth out of the game.

It is heard to expect your minor league pitcher to get major league hitters out after 90 pitches when you rarely ever allowed him to that in his career.

Yep, some of us have been saying it all along.

As for Grayson, I'm not worried yet.  Just let him work things out in the majors unless he really falls apart.

Last season would have been a better time to do it but it is what it is.

I think his last inning was at least partially due to fatigue.

Feel free to disagree.

I think Hyde left him in too long. Worried about getting him a win. 
 

I think that was Hyde’s biggest issue tonight. That said overall concern with Grod is his command. Not good enough tonight.

I firmly believe he isn't a good manager 

Its guys like him that most teams fire when they go from awful and needing a babysitter type manager to being good.  When we now need a Billy Martin/Weaver type.   Hyder(hate the baby nicknames he gives out.  Makes my skin crawl like nails on a chalkboard) just does not strike me as a great mind and real sharp.   Maybe its just the way he talks but he does not come across as smart.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      First, the had a jump in 23’ given how terrible they had been previously, which conditions many fans in the marketplace not to care. They simple weren’t relevant for years. So one very good regular season will not undue years of being bad/irrelevant and treating your customers terribly. Next, I think they missed an opportunity in the offseason by not doing enough by way of big/bold attention grabbing moves. Now I acknowledge that this was most likely due to the ownership flux/transition. I believe they got an attendance/marketplace engagement boost when they changed owners and when they traded for Burnes. However, I believe we would have seen more engagement attendance with say a big Gunnar extension and/or bringing in a big time FA.   IMO this would have created more buzz before the season (say around the time people make season tix decisions - IMO before Christmas is when some people make those bigger purchases). All of this is to say, that it will take time and effort on the organizations part because of how bad of a stain that the Angeloses left. I still have friends and colleagues who refuse to support the Orioles and attend games due to the damage that was done. Rubenstien & co are not going to be able to undo 30 years of awfulness overnight. But IMO it is not enough to simply call it “a new chapter”. They have to make new/different actions to distinguish themselves from who the Orioles were/used to be under the Angelos regime.

      Just checking in on Gameday, Yankees looking incredibly vulnerable.  Should be the Os out there.  Super lame.  Whichever team wins this series I hope gets knocked out by CLE or DET.

      If the franchise were better, the fan base would be too.  It’s been a rough 40 years.

      What about Tomoyuki Sugano for 2025?

      It also means we don’t have to trade our prospect capital to acquire him

      Machado just hit a 2 run home run off of Yamamoto.  I hope the Orioles young players are taking notes.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By CTBear · Posted

      Yeah it was priced initially the same as the ALDS games, same as last year. Nobody was rushing to pay those prices. And by the time the tickets reached appropriate levels, by the Orioles lowering their prices or the secondary market coming down in price, fans have like 24 hours to figure out their plans to attend a mid afternoon game. It’s just not worth getting upset about — we still had an awesome crowd and the only thing missing was an offense to ignite it.
