Gotta go with the Santander bomb at home vs the Yanks but this was close

The streak lives. The lead stays at 2. Blue Jays fading. Cito sucks. That's as stolen a win as you're likely to see.

The Mariners might want to consider using a smaller font on jersey names. They can't even fit Hernandez on that guy's jersey with out it making a horshoe over half his back.

Those jerseys are ass.  They looked cool in the mid 90s when they had Griffey Jr and realized they needed to change up their look but they're so dated now.

I don’t get why this game isn’t on. I just checked my mlb.tV and no games are on. Very odd. Obviously I can’t watch Orioles on there because they are blacked out but the other games I can’t watch either. Must be some issue. 

I'm just thankful I can see anything. I've tried three VPNs in four years and (knock on wood), I finally have one that seems to be getting it done the last few games. PIA worked about 90 games (after working for 3 years for me), then no-go. Tried NordVPN and it worked about a week.  So now I'm using ExpressVPN the last few games. 

My situation tonight was just like those others who normally rely on MLB-TV online (Mac for me through our HDTV), ie I could log in, but no pregame was available and eventually no game at all. But I checked the MLB schedule and noticed it said FS1 along with MASN and the SEA broadcast. So I tried FS1 on my YouTube TV and it worked, with no VPN I might add. Normally, I'd expect to be blacked out as that TBS game earlier this week.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      Adley is having a down year. I believe he will bounce back.

      Can the O's hit Lugo and Wacha?

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      I admire those of you who have such confidence in this offense. It’s been absolutely terrible for months, other than the last week of the season. It was beyond terrible yesterday- yes Ragans was good but the approach was awful by every hitter. I’ll be thrilled for them to prove me overly pessimistic, but I have zero faith in these bats.  This is at least partially a defense mechanism. I am not ready for the baseball season to be over, and another terribly quick exit from the postseason would just be so dreadful. I don’t need them to win the WS. But winning one GD game would be nice. Not looking forward to six months without baseball.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By waroriole · Posted

      You don’t have to twist yourself into a pretzel to defend Hyde. If Santander’s defense costs us, it means we got to extra innings and pinch running for OHearn was the right call. Also, are you really trying to say that OHearn is so valuable a defender at 1B that we couldn’t stand to lose that glove in extras? I doubt he’s even better than Santander.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      Wieters' bWAR was 13.3 through his first 4 seasons (2009 - 2012).  It ended at 18.3 after his last season in 2020, so he was basically ineffective for the last 8 years of his career. Adley's bWAR is 13.1 through his first 3 seasons. So it isn't like Wieters didn't have a strong start to his career just like Adley did.  I think the concern that folks have is that the rest of Adley's career will play out like the rest of Wieters' career.  It seemed very unlikely halfway through this year, but this has been one hell of a drop-off.   And after Wieters never lived up to expectations, it is definitely a fear that we may be reliving this again.  Let's hope this second half was just an aberration.

      Adley has been in a horrible almost 4 month slump. Before that, he was the WAY BETTER offensive player. But I pose this question: What does it matter if Rutschman turns out to be worse than Wieters? Matt Wieters was drafted almost TWENTY YEARS AGO. No one in this org had anything to do with him being on our roster. HEck none of our current front office was even here for his entire Orioles' career.

      I do feel like Adley is out of shape or at least has gotten more out of shape than usual. That’s part of the reason I think he’s hurt…not working out as much. If he is healthy and the slump is this bad, I’m ok questioning whether or not the new GF(ie the distraction) is part of it. Is he putting everything into the game that he should?
