Hits since July 25, the day Hicks went on the injured list:

  • Aaron Hicks:  2 (in 3 at bats)
  • Colton Cowser:  2 (in 21 at bats)

Yes and all the experts here that said we waited too long to bring up Cowser.  All that said I like Cowser’s make up and think he is going to be good.  He will not have the pressure of a pennant race with every at bat at Norfolk and hopefully get things together and come up and help us in Sept.  You never know what injuries will happen and we may need him.

Royals walked it off in the bottom of the 9th, 7-6.   3rd straight last at bat loss for the Mariners.

This is why my brother-in-law says, so forlorn, “nothing new here.”

He told me they can’t watch complete games. They watch the first inning or two, then come back in the 7th or 8th.  Wouldn't have helped him this past three games.

Fabulous performance...now bullpen DONT let us down...

The goal now is to get this game to the ninth inning with a two run lead for Bautista. The eighth inning is going to be huge for Orioles pitching. The Padres know they have to shorten the deficit before the O's hand the ball to Bautista.

The Jags could have scored 80 points if they tried that day it was a complete dismantling. They only scored 14 of their points from the 12 minute mark in the third quarter to the end of the game.

That Jags team was unbeatable that year except for the Titans who beat them twice in the regular season and once more in the playoffs. I think the Jags could have beat the Rams in the  Super Bowl that season.

Titans were just a terrible match up for that Jags team.

I HATE Tennessee!! That's why it was so satisfying beating them twice last season and winning the last game to win the division and get into the playoffs. How about that 27 point come back on LAC? 😂😂👍👍

I bought the towel that they gave out at the game that says, "It was always the Jags." Has the date on it an who we played. It's my favorite sports souvenir

They have the bottom of the order coming up. Good spot for Webb, knock on wood.

I think if Cowser can come up at the start of next season, he will be much better off, he won't have the pressure.

    • I have no idea why any team would want more than 1 philosophy across the board, especially a young team. Possibly a player's demands or contract calls for his own hitting coach.. but I stand by my wish.
    • At cost considerations there is 2 players i'd rather have listed in that article over Crochet, Helsley leading that. Also Mountcastle to the Reds for a SP makes a lot of sense also. 
    • Guilty. I'm working to be intentional to enjoy the day to day of a lot of exciting careers beginning, and not miss the moment as during say Peyton Manning's career in a different chapter of life when assured 14-2 or 13-3 seasons were four months of boredom while you waited to see what the playoff stumble would be this time.    SIGBOT's stuff works in the regular season same as Billy Beane's didn't in the playoffs. I don't follow Over/Unders, but would guess the 2025 Orioles are 1st or 2nd in the AL on early action.    My informal AL power rankings end of 2024: 1. A nonexistent Orioles team with a functional Adley Rutschman 2. Yankees with Soto 3. Tie between actual Orioles with broken Adley and end stage Astros that lost several series to hot Central teams 4. Yankees without Soto 5. Central I'm cheating Cleveland there for a joke, and hope they win, which they are plenty capable of doing.    It is an interesting matchup for the stuff the two teams are good at being very different.
    • I don't see the O's trading Mullins without getting a replacement for him from somewhere.  It's doubtful we have anyone in the minors yet ready to step in for him.  Maybe the same for Urias since he's the perfect backup infielder.  I think Mateo and Mountcastle are more likely to be traded.
    • I was clearly talking about the AL...
    • You mean like how the Os dealt guys like Hays, Stowers and Norby?  Yea, guys who are good depth but guys we can stand to trade are guys I want to trade….and obviously Elias feels similarly. These guys carry value. The level of value depends on the player and you can debate the value of return but yes, you absolutely should trade out of depth and trade guys that perhaps that don’t match your team philosophies.  That’s what teams do.
    • Who knows.  Lots of possibilities. There could be another trade like the Hays trade.  Or maybe you can get a ML ready arm that profiles as a high end reliever. I don’t think that you will get a proven lock down guy but that doesn’t mean you can’t get someone that will end up a big contributor.
