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.

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

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.

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 sort of don't get Elias's plan

      Lots of panic around here right now. Guys forget the Rangers were third in their division and only had 88 wins last season.

      Samuel Basallo 2024

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      This is my favorite Basallo clip so far. The swing is so fluid, it looks so effortless and the ball is just absolutely destroyed. It reminds me of homers by prime Chris Davis.

      5 losses in a row. Baltimore...we have a problem. Thread revisit...O's have no way to win the WS unless...

      The Orioles were bound to hit a rut. Get your hand off the panic button.    The Orioles aren’t signing Bauer. So just Fudget about him. The don’t need to trade Holliday and Kjerstad. I’m okay if he finds a guy worth paying a top guy return along with a few others ala Kirby, Gilbert, Castillo etc.   Stop patting yourself on the back. We lost as did everyone else to a hot Rangers team. We are still 7 up in the top wildcard slot. And as Texas proved is all you have to do is get in to have a shot.

      It’s becoming unglued?  Because of losing streak that almost every team goes through in any given season?  Really?

      The Os pen isn’t good. With DC out, they just don’t have any arms you want to rely on. They don’t miss a lot of bats, don’t get a lot of Ks and the walk rate is higher than you want it to be. Kimbrel is fine but nothing special. He has been exactly what I thought he would be and maybe even a little better than that but hes not what we had last year, which was special. Cano is better than a dime a dozen guy but not by a ton.    Baker looks good and maybe he’s poised to have the year some of us thought he would have in 2023 but he has a ways to go to prove that.

      Yes, I bolded that part to indicate that was to what I was referring.

      This group hasn’t burned you though. This is the biggest test for Elias since the team got good. The bottom line is the Os need pitching help and they have too much talent in the minors and too many subpar guys in the majors eating up at bats. You built this farm system up and are so proud of it and now it’s time to use it to its full potential.    I understand the Holliday injury likely sets him back until after the AS break, at least but assuming he’s hitting (which he has been or he’s been walking a ton) and once he is able to start throwing pain free, he needs to be up here.  Mayo needs to be up here yesterday.  It’s just time.  Sitting on ML ready top 10 prospects when below average MLers are playing in front of them just doesn’t make sense. You have a glaring weakness of too many lefties and a manager/GM that just won’t play lefties vs lefties. You have McCann playing way too much. Mayo needs to be up here right now. And then you need to use the rest of the system(and maybe ML team), not Basallo, and go get the pitching you need.
