Orioles fans:  WE NEED GOOD STARTING PITCHING Tyler Wells:  I have a 3.18 ERA and lead the league with a 0.927 WHIP.  ORIOLES FANS:  YEAH I THINK YOU’RE PROBABLY BETTER OUT OF THE BULLPEN. W

The Dodgers are 42-25 vs RH pitchers, but only 11-14 against LH. This might be one series where penciling Irvin into a start would make sense.

It should be a fun series. Their pitching is held together with baling wire. But Mookie Betts has 27 home runs and a .979 OPS?! Are there any duckpin lanes still around that he could check out while i

So now the O's have to figure out how to beat teams like the Dodgers. The O's are a good team with well recognized flaws. Can they put together a solid game today and make a statement that they are resilient? This is a real gut check.

Show me what you got, O's. If you want to hang with the big boys you have to get up and punch when you get knocked down. Who's gonna step up and lead the charge?

TBS pregame show had an interesting data slice building up the game last night - percentage of team hits by players 29 and younger was something like BAL 85, LAD 25.

Not that that's much comfort today while their championship caliber players of proven excellence are giving out lessons.

As much speculation as this year's cap reset is for Ohtani, I could also see Soto as a priority target.     As sure as Ryan O'Hearn can now outplay Miguel Cabrera, at some point in their baseball lives, Adley/Gunnar/Holliday as a group will be able to outplay Mookie/Freddie/Smith.     Hopefully more when our guys are like 24 than when they are 32.

Once I did a cutthroat fantasy football league, where if you won the week's matchup, you got to take a player off the roster you beat (don't start 0-2 in that format).    How Friedman works the market reminds me some of that, except its driven by if an MVP knocks him out of the tournament.     Mookie, Scherzer, Freddie, (Soto?)....you work for me now.

Oh man. I have zero confidence in Gillaspie.

As to what @Sports Guysaid about their timing, in particular we seem to play according to Mullins being in the lineup. Which doesn't bode well for at least a while, if not the rest of the season.  I expect his groin/quad issues to continue to plague him the rest of the way.  😞

      You mean a AAAA starter.  Sometimes I think he thinks he’s smarter than everybody else, so he does things that no one else would do just to prove a point. I don’t actually think he wants to spend money on free agents. I think he likes the idea of trying to be the smartest man in the room. I think his attitude is going to change somewhat next off-season, After his many blunders at the trade deadline.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      I don’t think this is true. He’s had a lot of games as you described and there haven’t been these ten post reactions to said games. He’s going to hit. Would it be nice if he was producing this year like the other rookie Jacksons? Of course but no one (that I’ve seen) on this board is rooting against him or suggesting that he won’t be a high caliber major league hitter. His defense is another thing but he’s going to figure it out at the plate at the MLB level. You’re right though - his nice game should have garnered more attention, especially with the way the year has largely gone for him. I’m not sure what role he has in the postseason other than maybe as a pinch runner. Right now I don’t think I’m putting him ahead of any of the lefty bats on the roster. I guess he’s the only other ‘SS’ they have on the big club so he’s surely going to fill a spot but I can’t think that he plays ahead of anyone, including Rivera right now. It will be interesting to see how Hyde and Co. deploy Holliday come Tuesday.

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Per Roch, Selby is the call up today, with Davidson presumably DFA.   Guessing today’s pitching looks like:  - Suarez (2-3 IP)  - Webb (1 IP)  - Soto (1 IP)  - Dominguez (1 IP)  - Coulombe (1 IP)  - Selby (2 IP) Bowman fills in gaps as needed.

      Holliday and Henderson is going to be an elite top 2 in the lineup.

      He’s also replaced the leg kick with a toe tap. At least with two strikes I noticed.

      Burnes named Game 1 ALWC starter

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Last year, of 8 WC teams: - 5 went with 12 pitchers - 2 went with 11 pitchers - 1 went with 13 pitchers I expect the Orioles to go with 12 pitchers. Given how Detroit mixes and matches pitching, we need to have enough platoon options.   I do think there is value in having more pitchers, even if it’s just an extra guy for mop up duty that saves pen in blowout game 2 so we aren’t running on fumes in game 3. However, I think 14 position players and 12 pitchers is the right balance for the wild card series.

      I don't think this is true.  He's struck out 3 times a few times and gone 0-4 several times and 10 posts haven't been made. I hope he has a nice view from the bench during the playoff series and gets an at bat here or there if we're up big or getting blown out.  I'd like to see him put in a lot of work this offseason and start 2025 on fire.
