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.

Actually the umpire has been pretty good tonight.

That last call literally touched the strike zone and the other split was just off.

12+ mph difference between FB and Change-up and he's locating them well. So glad to see him recovering from shaky spring training and start of the season--he was vital during the last month of last season.

Gunnar’s amazing patience is the only thing he’s got going for him at the moment. 

Well at least he's got something going--and a very good thing to have.

Grayson ends up with 6 K in 4.1 for 12.5 K/9. If he could have just put away a couple more guys he had down in the count he could have easily ended up with 10 K's and finished 5 without having to bring in Voth.

And if my Auntie had cajones she'd be my Uncle

Ben is on that analysis. Mullins is definitely pulling off the ball.

I noticed last year defenses were shifting  on him which really surprised me for the type of hitter he should be. He really has become a dead pull hitter which seems like a terrible approach for his profile.

      I thought Chisholm missed home too. They didn’t appeal tho I don’t think.

      Inexcusable missed call in NY. Review Cleo at showed Chisholm out at 2nd. They upheld safe call.

      Elias: It's on me

      Well, good on posters who proved the SSS side of "Guards Ball." I just found it striking in terms of the narrative in that article, which was basically the same as what most around here were complaining the O's lacked: clutch hitting, passing the baton, aggressive running, getting runners in from third, etc. I guess the real bottom line is "whatever works." Which of course varies from case to case. The old Bill James postseason wisdom was that HRs are the ticket, since you face good pitching and get so few hits. So back to you, Elias, keep crunching those numbers...

      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.
