Hyde should have stuck w Akin and given Bautista the day off.  Now you have to wonder does Bautista need several days off.

nothing wrong with Cano to close...or anyone else for that matter...Felix got us the win...but that wont play against the Yankees or Jays or Tampa...

Felix needs a couple of games to regroup...yeah he got the save...but he was all over the place...and hes been laboring for a while now...hopefully we can get a laugher in and not need him for a while...

Unsettling game.  Very much shot my blood pressure.   I agree Bautista needs a couple days off

I think every Oriole fan can feel their pain some.  After 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 

Except that they thought they cd actually make a run in the Central after a 3rd-place finish in 2021. So they spent some...and got worse.

That would suck.  I guess the Orioles did the smarter route by developing the farm.

Can't Adley or Holt go to the mound to calm Baustista down?

I heard that at one point they were able to record messages on the PitchComm so maybe Adley just pressed the button to say, "You got this!" or something, so he didn't have to go to the mound?

    • They’ve added a handful of additional receivers in the UDFA class https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/rumor-mill-ravens-undrafed-free-agent-tracker-2024-nfl  
    • Didn't see today's game in it's entirety but I will say this.  I feel 100% more confident with Mateo playing second and turning  a DP rather than JH right now.  JH will be fine there.  In time.   But even forgetting his hitting, D wise he just isn't there yet.   And yes I know the metrics say he is fine.  But to me, using the eye test, he looked very shaky fielding and throwing,
    • I like Kevin.  He is constantly improving.  My only beef is that he doesn't seem to understand that a foul ball isn't always out of play.   A ball can be hit foul, but still be in the field of play. 
    • My preferred day 3 WR would have been Troy Franklin, but he apparently had a bad combine on positional drills (which might have been because he had the flu.)  And he got picked by Denver pretty early.   Devontez Walker is kind of intriguing.  He's 6'2", barely.   A bit on the skinny side but ran in the mid-4.3s.  His route tree is pretty limited, mostly short quickouts/slants and go/post routes. But he's really good at the deep routes.  Sort of a discount DK.  He's reported to have good hands and good deep ball tracking ability as well.  We have to see how that translates in the pro game.
    • Adley looks way more energized and McCann is veteran catcher who is good defensively and handles the pitchers well.  Doesn't really make sense to wear Adley out when the O's are using him at the top of the lineup. 
    • Just seems like a more controlled swing from the right side, shorter, flatter.
    • He was signed in the Covid year when they only had a 5 round draft, which is why he was undrafted.  Was showing promise bur tore his UCL in 2022.  Pitched a little last year, this is his first full year back.  Nice to see the good outing.
