Baker always makes an uncompetitive pitch at 0-2.

Maybe other teams are trying to steal from us.  Maybe they are trying to charge us more because we supposedly have tons of prospects to give away.  Maybe Elias is like he would rather risk it with the players he has then to over pay.  I can imagine teams are playing hard ball with Elias now drooling over our players.   

I agree, but we have prospects we will never use so he has to deal them.  I remain convinced that the upcoming offseason is the best time to trade for some pitching, but tonight's game is really, really hard to watch.

Bsker is sucking, but shouldn't have been in this situation thanks to Frazier.  That won't show up on the boxscore that way, but it's true.  Regardless we need some more/better relief guys.

I have to wonder what Frazier and Mateo are doing on this team if they can't play superior defense.

I really hope this game is motivating Elias and Sig to get on the phones and start making some good deals to improve this team.

This bullpen will sink the Orioles in the playoffs assuming they make it that far without any changes. I don't think my nerves can handle Bryan Baker coming into a tie game during the fifth inning with the bases loaded in October.

Yes I agree that most of this is on Frazier.  The guy is inept really.  I can not understand how we are letting Ortiz stew in AAA and we drag guys like Frazier and Mateo out to play.  

Elias doesnt seem to have the proper motivation.  He let Odor smell up the joint last year because some mystical ability to turn a double play.  Ignoring that Odor could not hit anymore.   Now we are staying with Frazier.   Granted he made two plays yesterday that looked good.   But over all he is a giant black hole with the glove.

Wow, you say Bryan Baker was a strike away from getting out of it and couldn't seal the deal? Shocking. What a completely unprecedented thing.

Pretty nuts, right? Man that guy just can't put hitters away with RISP.

I’m honestly okay with Judge and Stanton beating us. I’m not happy about it, but that’s what they do. If you’re dumb enough to pitch to Judge, he’s gonna hurt you. And even though Stanton isn’t what he was, he can still run into a fastball every so often and ace one to the beast. 
 

But giving it up to ****ies like Higashioka and IKF is infuriating.

      I think it’s like when our fans are terrified because a team brings up a spot starter from AAA and we fear they are going to turn into Cy Young.

      End of season melancholy

      By Royle · Posted

      “It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops.” — A Bartlett Giamatti https://mason.gmu.edu/~rmatz/giamatti.html

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5790069/2024/09/25/mlb-awards-2024-keith-law-picks/?source=user_shared_article Keith Law says it’s clearly Cowser (he has Gil runner up and Langford third), though in a backhanded sort of way. “Two things can be true at the same time: Colton Cowser has been the best rookie in the American League this year, and Colton Cowser is a flawed player who can’t play every day on a playoff team. By any measure, Cowser is leading AL rookies in WAR, and it’s not that close. “

      For the actual breakdown of the components that make up a position player’s rWAR, see Player Value—Batting in a player’s Baseball Reference profile.  There is also a comprehensive explanation of the rWAR formula, see WAR Explained (v2.2). https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/cowseco01.shtml

      End of season melancholy

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      Every year at the end of the season, I feel a little melancholy. For me, the end of summer is not the start of school or the arrival of fall, but the end of baseball season. Today is the last day of a long song, and I will miss it. I know we have at least four more days, but those are in a different category, although I will miss that too when it ends. During the darkest days of the season, I posted frequently that the worst day of baseball is still baseball. When the Os played terrible, I would go focus on the Brewers or the A’s or Mariners(who were almost as frustrating as the Os) and follow along with former Orioles, rooting for all of them. That will all stop by tonight, and I will miss it until next February, when pitchers and catchers report. If I’m still here, I’ll be here.    Go Os…

      We have to wait and see. But it shouldn’t matter as you have to beat whomever you play.
