I loved Buxton's reaction.  Players respect good plays.

I was against Pete Rose being in HoF until the sheer utter hypocrisy of MLB taking millions in betting site advertising became clear.  Every other commercial.

Let Pete in.....he is not as much fake as MLB.

No, it’s a terrible job by the guy actually playing. 

I don’t disagree. But he should have never been brought into the game. If you were going to relieve Irvin, you bring in the lefty for the left on left matchup. Besides, you don’t bring Baumann in a high leverage spot to begin with. He’s average/mediocre at best.

Exactly, why take out the lefty when a lefty is coming up -- unless you're putting in Coulombe?

Miranda was the batter due up--he is right-handed and has better stats vs. LHP. They wd not have pinch-hit for him if Irvin had stayed in the game. I wd guess the O's preferred Bauman vs. Kirilov or Miranda over a tiring Irvin vs. Miranda.

There wdn't have been a lefty-lefty match-up possible. The Twins wd have stayed with right-handed hitting Miranda against either Irvin or Coulombe. Kirilov (the lefty) was a pinch-hitter.

      Thanks everyone. We are in a bad way here. Things are still evolving but the devastation is off the charts. This is worse than the 1916 flood, which was the worst on record.  Thanks for the support. Many people are suffering. We have the hospital open and functioning in disaster mode. Doing our best in a really bad situation. I may try to check into OH for a break, now and then. Go O's!

      Innings Pitched - 2024

      I think Suarez earned the right to make one of the first 5 starts next year while at age 29 McDermott and Young are finishing whatever they need to do so the Orioles can control their age 37 seasons at Arb 2 if they are any good.     I might be off on the years. Povich's progress this past month was enticing enough I do think he is closer to Kremer in the 3/4 section of the rotation than a swingman. Suarez has been so good this year I think it is bad mojo between Elias and his clubhouse if he doesn't get a few turns early.    Clubs using detailed video analysis rigorously to spot mechanics they can fix to unlock this kind of production I also think overrides anything ZiPS or PECOTA or whatever floats your boat there would say about Suarez's demographics. If we don't sweep but survive, I think Friday is an interesting discussion if you use Povich or Suarez in Yankee Stadium Saturday.

      RIP Pete Rose

      I usually agree regarding the timing.  But not in this instance.  His character and integrity is a big part of the public diacussion around Charlie Histle.  It's a healthy discussion we should have. He made public opinion part of his legacy.  Not because of his fame (i.e. normal athletic stardom).  But in how he tried to use it to gain support for his HOF push.  His character is a big part of who he was.   Ultimately you couldn't resist adding your opinion on the man. It's part of the discussion  and Pete's legacy.

      It really is. Seeing the photos of the before and after is just heartbreaking.

      It’s crazy how cheap you can get tickets but parking is insanely expensive.

      Playoff Bullpen Usage

      It looks like Sal can be 3rd or 4th any given day. Hyde isn't going to mess with Burnes, but you could also hook the Game 2 or Game 3 starter after 17-18 batters faced, use one of those high velo lefties on Witt, and go to a righty for Sal during the third time through the order.
