That's a good idea. As others said above, I'm a little concerned about the starters getting too many days off and getting out of rhythm.

Wouldn’t that just put even more innings on a bullpen that was near exhaustion just two days ago?  Maybe if they brought Zimmerman and Irvin up to go along with Bradish and GrayRod.  If the starters continue to go deep they could always do a full bullpen game as well just to get everyone an inning or so.  
 

I do enjoy reading that one of the concerns is getting a bye and two much rest.

I don’t think I’ve fully wrapped my head around how impressive it really is that the Os are four games up on the Rays after the way the Rays started the season, and how well they’ve been playing recen

My wish is for Tampa Bay and Texas to have a wonderful, competitive 3 game series that results in a Texas win in game 3, a 21 inning 24-23 thriller.

No wonder you are so angry.  If they win 105 and we win 104 it is time to tip your hat to Tampa.

Yeah just relieve them with Flaherty/Irvin/Zimmerman/whoever.

With TOR gaining some breathing room on the Western teams, it looks like a pretty fair chance that Rays vs. Jays happening in 2 out of 3 series to close the regular season will grow to 3 out of 4 in the AL4 v. AL5 matchup.

If those positions become locked by Friday night in Canada, we may see a pretty casual 3 games from those 2 teams.

If the Nats were to win... we would be 2 games back of Atlanta for best record in baseball but they have the tiebreak.   So to get home field advantage in a potential Baltimore/Atlanta World Series, we would have to pick up 3 games on them, say by going 5-1 vs Wash&Bos while they went 2-4 vs Cubs and Nats.

Not particularly likely.   Home field advantage in a possible Orioles/Dodgers 1966 rematch World Series, however, is still very much in play.   

We have clinched home field advantage in any World Series against the NL Central winner or an NL wild card team.

Fangraphs thinks that the Lowe injury might have been the straw that broke the camel's back, as they've completely tanked their projections for Tampa since the injury.  Their chance to win the WS went from over 7% to less than 2%, while Toronto's has gone up quite a bit.

Might tank a bit more if Diaz's hamstring tightness they pulled him for today becomes a real thing.

Thanks to a rain-shortened game, Mike Clevinger today threw a complete game with 0 strikeouts and 0 walks.....I'm gonna guess its been a minute since that has happened.

No idea if this is the most recent but I remembered this one and did a little digging to find it...

Doesn't the NL have WS home advantage because they won the All Star game?  That was one of the rule changes a few years ago.

      2024 Ravens regular season discussion

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      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.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      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.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      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

      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.
