Tuesday, July 4th vs. Yankees

The amazing suck of our pitching is why the fans cried about the Orioles not doing anything to fix the pitching in the off season.   We knew we didnt have enough to compete yet Elias rolled the dice.  

Even if we get in the playoffs this team is not built to go far.  No aces.....no solid big bats.   Just a lot of meh.

I'm going to be optimistic for a bit, that those two strikeouts are a sign he settled down, and now we'll come back and win anyway. 

Meanwhile, prepping food for a little get-together later this afternoon.  Weams was the chef - he loved to cook, and I loved to eat so I always said "match made in heaven!"  Boy, I miss his concoctions.  I hope I didn't poison myself mixing up spices that I have no idea about LOL

Glad to root for a team that makes so many Yankees fans happy year in year out.  Definitely love spending my money and time in this manner.  Absolutely no notes from me.

Hey, we're in good company.  Seems every fan base hates the MFY, and yet unfortunately they seem to have a way of making  other teams look silly.  Why do their fans hate the Astros so much?  Because they had rare success for a stretch - even when both teams were cheating at the same time.  

We're going to get there, another short stint probably, but we'll dominate them for a stretch ourselves.  It will be so sweet.

I certainly hope so, and a nice bit of optimism (not my strong suit).  Happy fourth!

    • There is no chance that over 60 mph for a QB is the equivalent of 102.  QBs do not train for velocity like pitchers do. 
    • I would prefer they ask for Jon Gray in spite of the Orioles destroying him in his last start - he wouldn't have to face the Orioles lineup again.
    • He makes $43 million this year. The Mets are paying $21 million of that. I don’t think we pick up the remaining $10+ post deadline for 10-12 starts. It would just depend on what Texas would ask for to pick up the tab. 
    • Haynie on 105.7, has been beating the Luis Robert drum for months on the O’s pre game show. So I think that’s why people like the idea of Robert. Robert also is always hurt.  We need a bat. Probably a RH bat to DH in the playoffs versus a LH SP. That bat is Mayo. It’s just hard to get Mayo up before September when we get the extra roster spot. 
    • Holliday went 1 for 2 with 3 walks on Friday night. 2024: .444 OBP, .911 OPS MiLB Career: .447 OBP, .931 OPS His OBP is EXACTLY what this O's team needs, would fill a key offensive weakness at 2nd base, help grind opposing pitching, and magnify the power up and down the lineup.  It's all dependent on his ability to throw and play 2B at a passable level. If Holliday starts to hit at the ML level, the question of who bats leadoff is over for the foreseeable future and we can go back to complaining about 1 slumping hitter or backup catcher at the bottom of the lineup.
    • This. We literally have no lineup holes right now, and Mayo, Norby, Jax lurk. Any trade discussion should center around the four most essential and crucial elements to O's success for the balance of the regular season and playoffs: 1. pitching 2. pitching 3. pitching 4. damn, forgot the 4th one. oh yeah, its pitching.
    • All I know is that Suárez has earned at least one more start, after today.
