That Draft Kings ad with Big Papa is an embarrassment...never fails to annoy me...so idiotic..

It is so amazing to come back, after struggling against the Twins two weeks ago, and so commandingly let everyone know what we've got going.  Pitching has been amazing this series - not even talk

That's now 11 times in a row that the Orioles have scored in an inning, and held the opponent scoreless in the half inning immediately following.   And 22 out of 25 dating back to June 26.

Amazing how good we are at that.

The streak ends at 11.

What a beat down. Our team momentum turned on a dime during the 5th inning of game 3 in NY.  When you start to see multiple games of absolute mashing, it makes you think something special is happening. 

And…it’s not a coincidence that it happened when we westy and Cowser got called up.

And according to Palmer, Gibson got some throwing in while the Orioles were batting.

Interesting, I'd never heard of that before.

Did he go out tot he bullpen or is there somewhere inside behind the dugout where he can throw?

He could have gotten a simulated five innnings in .

Where did you see that ? Good time for it. 

Just looked at linescores and figured it out.   Lots of people always complain when we give up run(s) right after scoring but I don't think we are especially bad at it, people just remember the times when it happens.

And Santander goes deep!

      In a nonsave situation, Mike Baumann was tagged with an unearned run Sunday in 26-pitch ninth inning to seal Seattle's 5-1 win in a three-game sweep of the Angels. https://www.mlb.com/gameday/angels-vs-mariners/2024/06/02/745252/final

      So would Kjerstad, Norby or Mayo man center?

      Are we really sure that Vieira would be claimed.  I remember the O's have hung on to guys for dear life and then when they are DFA'ed, no one wants them.

      Maybe he’s throwing shade at somebody who hijacks every game thread.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      By OsFanInOhio · Posted

      And hader, with the second biggest contract in reliever history, is 19th in average annual value just in current contracts (Diaz is 17th). There are 4 relief pitchers in the top 50 pitchers in annual salary (and that’s if you go by spotrac calling Kyle Hendricks a reliever, which he hasn’t been). Which tells you how mlb values starters vs relievers. If you have a chance to get even a  mid rotation starter, chances are it’s more valuable than very good high leverage relievers. They pitch a ton more innings that impacts the team more.  Relievers are volatile, and don’t exactly have longer shelf lives despite the lower inning workload.    if you get a pitcher with good enough stuff that can be a starter, you can always fall back on them being relievers if they don’t make it as starters. Taking someone with no starter potential limits their upside. That’s not what I want with an early pick. I’ll take all the sharkey types in later rounds, but if I get Brecht, I want him in the minors trying to be a starter as long as they think he can be one.

      All right I'll pull that back, he does only have a decent shot at his best year. the rest of the season has not happened yet, hell tomorrow could be his last game. I dont like sewing together partial seasons either. Last year half season started with July and August being a scorch fest followed by a cold September which featured shoulder problems and an IL stint. he does have one constant though, the defense is turning Elite. Yes bad AB today, but the more I look at him the more I see what his supporters see. I'm starting to come around to him.
