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.

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again. He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota. I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.

      I’d have brought up Young immediately after DFAing Kimbrel. Baker has no place on this club this year. Would have been nice to see Young up here.

      Yeah, but they could've brought him up a month ago and seen what they might have...And Im not "pining" for Brandon Young, just wondering if he's any better than some we have in the pen..
