I agree but to me his last two starts are not on him. The SD game he threw real well. Hyde thought it was his best all year. The other night that bloop double ruined his night. 
 

I’m not trying to put it on one guy but I think his performance the rest of the way could be the biggest difference between winning the division and being a WC.  

I think SD was a little different story than his start against CLE. The SD game he gave up 1 ER in 6 IP with 7 K’s and 1 BB. He was objectively very good and the defense let him down.

That pop up against CLE should have been caught and cost him 2 runs. But he also was staked to an early lead and then walked in a run against a .200 hitter the following half inning. The next AB, he couldn’t get a K or an unproductive out against a .150 hitter with a 36% K rate, which resulted in a sac fly. And even before the Naylor double, he had a runner on 1st and 2 outs and walked Ramirez to put Kwan in RISP for Naylor. He only had 2 K’s to go along with the 2 BB’s in 5 innings. 

He was okay against CLE but that bottom of the 2nd was awful and I think he was clearly better against SD - he pitched really well that game.

With the promotion of Cowser today and his performance at Yankee Stadium, along with Jordan Westburg...you can see something special really unfolding before your eyes.  The talent that's been collecte

A bit less than a year later, how about these same four guys homering today off of one of the best pitchers in the big leagues? Who'd never, in an excellent 10 year career, allowed 4 HRs. In a series

In our current "everyday" lineup, only Mullins, Mayo, and O'Hearn, have not been 1st rd draft picks.  Mayo was paid like one.  Mullins is in line to be replaced by one of two 1st rd draft picks in EBJ, and Honeycutt.  

Point being... it's really hard to crack our lineup.  Not only do we trot out a bunch of former 1st rd picks, but mostly guys ranked #1-#50 at the time of their call up.  Closer to the top half of that range.  

Basallo will be the next one up, and he's as high as #4.  

We've definitely grown the bats.

I’m so tired of this summer. Feels like the hottest one we have had in awhile. Not sure the facts back me up but it feels that way.

I have really come to dislike summer other than baseball. It just feels so bad and gross all of the time now.

Yeah. We have finally had some rain lately. Supposed to get more this week. Need it. Supposed to cool down a little. I can’t wait.

I’m starting to get that way myself. I don’t mind a little stretch of heat but it feels like it’s been 2 months straight this year.  
 

I would rather sit in a 20 degrees Ravens game than 85.

It is.   We've tied the all time record for 100 degree days recorded in Baltimore with 6 (last two times with 6 were 1988 and 2010).   And chances are there will be at least one more and it will break the all time record.

The # of 90+ degree days is high too, though it hasn't gotten to any records yet.   But it very well could.

Feels like 90 plus for last 6 weeks.

David Wells said the worst place he ever played in was Baltimore because of the heat and humidity.  It's been pretty bad this year.  But that's why you put a pool in your yard, fellas.  Come on! ;)  Cut the grass - take a dip.  Stain the fence - take a dip.  Drink a beer - take a dip. ;)

Or, just stay inside and use the money you would have spent on that pool to pay other people to do those things, and take a two-week vacation in Maine.

      This correct. https://trace.tennessee.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1426&context=jasm There are other factors, of course, certainly school has started and that has an impact. But I reckon the Orioles just puttering along isn't helping things. It'd be different if they were performing like they were to start the season. But the team currently looks like the 2015 Orioles (a .500 team) than the 2023 Orioles (or first half 2024 Orioles, for that matter).

      Yep. You know my thoughts on all of this and it is frustrating. Even not dealing guys like Mountcastle, Hays or O'Hearn this offseason to make space for guys was short sighted.  Besides Gunnar, Adley and Holliday, and Westburg to a lesser extent, none of the other prospects like Ortiz, Kjerstad, Cowser, Norby, Stowers, and Mayo were given everyday opportunities from the start. When they did play them, they have a nice game and instantly be back on the bench for days at a time. Cowser finally forced the issue by having that strong start and good defense, if he had struggled at all, Hays would still be in LF. Ortiz or Westburg should have been the starting 2B last year when they wasted money on Frazier. They came into this year with Cowser and Kjerstad needing everyday PAs, but instead brought their entire outfield back.  For a team that has been drafting college hitters mostly, it does seem weird that the offense stinks and they have to employ the likes of Jimenez, Rivera and Maton and the only prospects they had ready have really struggled, one of which Mayo is getting the backup experience.

      Trevor Rogers 2024

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Went through Trevor Rogers MiLB Statcast, and he averaging 89.7mph on his 4 seamer and 89.2 on his sinker. Out of the 100 pitches, 61 were either a 4 seamer or a sinker. Of those, 18 were over 90mph (30%). I don't know, it is incredibly discouraging that we are now seeing him not even average 90mph whereas before the trade he was 92-92.5mph on average. Where did that 2+mph go? Is it entirely because of some supposed mechanics they're trying to implement to get him to *gain* his velocity back? Or is there another injury and/or dead arm.

      Candidates for O’s MiL Pitcher of the Year

      By Frobby · Posted

      I’m pretty happy with the A+/A pitchers.   In addition to the pitchers who I think are competitive for POY, there are some younger guys whose numbers or innings don’t put them in position for this award, but who have long term potential.  I don’t think anyone I listed has a super high ceiling but I do think some of them could be back of rotation starters or relievers on a future O’s team.

      You aren’t wrong but most tickets are sold before the season, so some of this doesn’t matter. In season sales are probably hurt some though.

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      And btw, I’m not saying you try to field a team that is only made of players 25 years old or younger…you need some vets…but get good ones. If you are going to block these kids, who are really talented, block them with players that are actual difference makers.    I know they were hamstrung by Angelos and that hurt obviously but you could have done more with what you had imo.

      Can't really argue with any of this.
