I hate to see anyone get hurt but we'll take all the advantage we can get....We just need to play 500 ball and we'll win the division... Tampa would have to win 6 out of 7 to beat us out and I don't see that happening....I think Tampa finishes 99 and 63

The Rays look positioned to launch full bullpen attack.

They are on SP4-SP5 Littell and Bradley finishing up Toronto this weekend, then have just the five games next week with Civale-Eflin-Glasnow leading off.      Next Saturday/Sunday 161-162 perhaps quasi bullpen games too if it matters.     Most of the big dogs didn't pitch yesterday with Toronto earning high win probability in the 6th inning.

Unless leverage is low, 18 Batters Faced max for Littell this afternoon.

Weather today, I see Washington and New York have already postponed according to ESPN, but not yet in Dave Dombrowski's Philadelphia, where it is Zack Wheeler's day to pitch and there is a tournament calendar to keep to.

And if Wheeler is bumped to tomorrow, he can't make another start in the regular season on normal rest and be on normal rest for Game 1 of the wild card series a week from Tuesday.

I expect TB to lose 2 more games, if that. That means that the Orioles need to win at least four more games, preferably five. The two games against the Nationals are absolute must-win with their #1 and #2 pitchers going at home, after the day off on Monday. They need to take at least one from Cleveland, and that would leave splitting the series against Boston.

I went back and watched again, because I thought I must be hallucinating.  The Rays unveiled a statue outside of their stadium of Aki Iwamura !

Talk about a franchise without much tradition to celebrate !

Yeah, a guy who played 4 seasons and was worth 4 wins. I'd have waited for Longoria to retire and given him a statue, but the way the Rays flip players, Iwamura was one of the few "career" Rays players.

Edit: They just showed on the broadcast they made a statue for Longoria.

    • Well I sort of disagree here. You said guys have been bad to questionable. I think that’s wrong. I just think a few guys have been awful and that has really hurt us. I would absolutely give Washington more time. Brade and Kane are well liked but doubtful they want to play them much right now. A trade should be considered if things don’t improve.
    • Yeah, I'd rather keep him over Soto.  I mean Soto can't start.  Yes Soto was dominant at times out of the bullpen but he was also gasoline on a fire out of the bullpen.  I would rather pay Suarez $4 or 5 million, knowing he can start or pitch in the bullpen than Soto, knowing he can only start and is liable to melt down when needed most.  
    • It is funny how much Hays (the pre-2024 version anyway) matches the type of player they'll likely look for. I doubt that reunion happens though. 
    • Weird thing about Suarez is that MASN had this being a 2 year deal when they talked about him back in April. ”The Orioles made another smart move with Suárez by signing him to a two-year contract in September. They knew what they’d ask from him and how it could contradict, and they didn’t want to give him any reasons to resist.” https://www.masnsports.com/blog/another-look-at-how-suarez-came-to-the-orioles
    • Dam the mosquito is in my Jelly. Please go away
    • Elias is refusing to spend money that Rubenstein has made available.  Do you have any sources?
    • Outside Hamilton, I can't really think of any areas or invidivuals outside the line that have really stepped up.  Humphrey and Stephens have played okay but it certainly hasn't offset the complete zeroes that Eddie Jackson and Marcus Williams have been.  I don't think you want to pull Hamilton off SS even though he can handle deep zone assignments fine, because he's essentially a linebacker that can cover wide receivers and there's too much value in that in the box.  And I think that Roquan/Simpson look lost in pass coverage because the safeties behind them are playing like butt.  Besides Roquan wasn't ever really a great coverage safety, he was kind of okay at it but he was never like a Lavonte David or Fred Warner there.   I'm starting to wonder if we need to either trade for a FS and/or start giving Ardarius Washington more snaps.  He certainly doesn't look worse than Jackson/Williams at this point in his limited playing time.  In general i think safety is an undervalued position so we're likely to get good value in trade.
