Wow...that's incredible.   I do get to watch a lot of Braves games as I'm in SC now.  They have a very good team and remind me a lot of the Orioles.   Many young guys that really seem to enjoy playing together.    Of course, winning always helps with all of that "chemistry" stuff.  :)

With a week to go, only 2 reserves have cleared 80 PA all season - the luxury C2 Travis d'Arnaud and Kevin Pillar.

I hope for the same basic deal as the Peak Adley lineups arrive - it'd be run-tastic to see a season where 7000 PA occur and Jordan Westburg is clearly the worst hitter who takes any significant portion of them.

Toronto announced Ricky Tiedemann to the Arizona Fall League yesterday, but for ATL this summer's 1st round pick Hurston Waldrep was not among them.    We'll see if they consider the Garrett Crochet thing in a couple weeks.      Atlanta AAA saw Collin McHugh and Nick Anderson knocking off rust after summer sabbaticals as they challenge to be part of the Best 9-10 Arms a Club can muster for a tournament.

    • Very weak.  OTOH, there's still a possibility that Jackson Merrill won't win in the NL.  Who didn't want Cowser to have had that rookie season?
    • Who’d a thunk it? There’s a chance? Almost like it’s a long season. Now if only that Mayo guy would do something.
    • Jeez, it really was a welcome game tonight.  I had a good buzz going...   Now I have to factor in your chronic angst.  Thanks man.
    • If we enter the Yankees series down by three games, we have a mathematical chance. However, we are going to have to intentionally walk Judge and Soto every single AB. The athletics did us no favors tonight.  Still four games out..
    • I know. I'm a hand wringer and a whiner when it comes to this team. I sometimes annoy myself with all this baseball nonsense. But really deep down,I'm still the 8 year old who lived and died with every Oriole game. Still. Im that kid. So when this team was really horrible like for most of the second half, it almost made me nauseous just to watch them lose in all kinds of ways. Then all those injuries in a wave. I really felt they weren't going to make the postseason at all. But baseball is a crazy game, and a light switch can be turned on in an instant. Maybe that Santander walk off HR on Thursday threw a switch. Because Friday night, this was a different team. They still strike out a lot, and Burnes was brilliant, but I feel maybe something is moving. Seeing Coluombe come in and strike two batters out, and Webb, not as good, but good enough with a big lead...and to see Cowser and McCann blast two, and Tony again with a HR...It got my juices flowing. Look, maybe they wont play well this weekend, maybe they will. And then the dreaded Yankees might break our hearts next week.But why think that way now.?Urias is coming, then Westburg, then maybe Mounty, and even possibly Grayson at the end . If we can somehow put the pieces together and get our mojo back, and have the players contribute, we maybe, just maybe, might have a little ray of hope.I still think this roster is talented when all our pieces are together, and as good as anyone when we are playing well. So, I'm not asking for a miracle. I'm just asking for a chance to see this team with most of the pieces together again, and compete.Maybe it's even a long shot, but I am still that 8 year old living and dying for a chance to see my boys make me proud. And these are my boys.
    • Velocity was 1.5-2mph down across the board. Movement was good, especially the sweeper. The fastballs worry me at that velocity though... not sure he should be immediately high leverage in the way he used to be.
    • Nicely done. Lol. Yes I remember that with Minnesota.
