Provided the O's win tomorrow and even better if the Yankees lose tomorrow, the O's will be within range of the division lead. The players are focused on tomorrow's game, but I figured I would take a look ahead at the series. The good: O's don't have to face Gil or Rodon. Gil pitched Friday, but Gil seems to have been given extra rest or Yankees are going to 6 man rotation? O's offense has been resurgent lately and the coldest bats in May are some of the hottest like Santander and Urias and Hays(maybe?). Gunnar and Adley continue to dependable cogs of the offense. The bad: Judge has just been mashing the ball since the O's/Yankees early season meeting. Soto is healthy after the forearm soreness. Some guy the Yankees signed as a depth move, Cody Poteet, who had a 19-39 minor league record, now has a ERA barely over 2 in limited action. Poteet is Tuesday's starter. Cole had 10 K's in 4 1/3 innings in his last rehab start and is likely Wednesday's starter. Yankees barely have any injuries. The ugly: The state of the O's bullpen compared to the teams' first meeting. Danny Coulombe, maybe our best reliever was a huge loss. Not having Bradish for Thursday game is huge. Winning 2 of 3 would be great. Realistically, I would be happy if the O's don't get swept. Tuesday: Suarez (3-0, 1.61 ERA) vs Poteet (3-0, 2.14 ERA) Wednesday: Povich (0-1, 4,76 ERA) vs Undecided (Cole?) 0-0 Thursday: Irvin (6-3, 3.03 ERA) vs Cortes (3-5, 3.59 ERA) -
This would be a perfect time for the NYY to go on a nice losing streak... -

1) Jack flaherty had like 5 or 6 good starts in a row before we traded for him. His overall era wasn’t great, but the month or so before he had been pitching much better. 2) whip plays a bit better as a reliever if it’s walks and high k rate when they are less worried about managing pitch count over 5+ innings. It’s not ideal but it plays better out of the pen (see dl hall) 3) Burnes is a top 5 pitcher in baseball, and we got him for a full season. Tanner Scott is nowhere near a top 5 reliever and we’d probably get him for 2 months. if we got Scott for a package like what we gave up for flaherty or a bit better, I’m fine with it. Norby if we are convinced that is the reliever that gets us over the hump. But I’m not sure Scott is that guy, or that we are one reliever away (especially if bradish is out). -

100% There just aren’t that many foolish GMs like there used to be (Bedard trade etc). Teams have a deep brain trust they covet to prevent getting fleeced like the Chris Archer trade. -

I’d be highly surprised if he didn’t. Can’t argue with the results though. Burnes has pitched 33 innings and given up 4 earned runs in last 5 starts. All with McCann catching him.
