Losing Felix will surely hurt, but closer is a pretty overrated position and I think they'll manage to get 3 outs in the 9th somehow. It was great having the big K guy back there, but injury happens and you pick up the pieces and move on. I'm not going to speculate that I know what's wrong with his arm, but I'm sure they'll be able to piece the 9th out if they have to.

I think this is where we differ a little. Not on our take of what Hall is, but our hopes for him.  In other words, I shudder to think of a game situation where Fuji is shaky and then Hall is the gu

It means they are taking the precaution in the event a move is necessary.  They are preparing for the potential need.  No roster moves have been announced.

Why must so many people just to conclusions?

Because we are all jaded Orioles fans.
 

Hurt people hurt people.

Right!  Was it over after the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?  Hell no!

But if it's all the same to you I'm gonna feel a little disappointed at this turn of events. 

 

Ha! I almost posted the same thing. 🤣

And yes, we should all be a little disappointed with Felix being injured. He is a tough guy to face in the 9th. He is a distinct advantage for us. However, he blew six saves this year. The next guys will blow some too. That is the game. It is a long season, and we have to move on.

I just don’t see why we should wallow in this so much. We don’t know yet what the injury is. So, I’d hope they stay focused on what the goal is here. LFG!

This very well might be the injury but this dumbass doesn’t know his head from his ass. Felix didn’t just walk off the mound. The staff circled around him and took him off the mound. This isn’t even remotely accurate to what happened. He threw the pitch, felt whatever he felt and signaled for the staff to come out. The decision was made for him to exit the game. We don’t know if he decided it or they decided it.

dumbass 

He did kinda walk off the mound though.

Closer is overrated..elite reliever is not. He’s a monster loss.

But it does sound better to say that they circled him, and took him off the mound.....adds drama. 

Maybe he walked off because they don't make stretchers in his size, but more likely it's because his legs were okay.  🙂

Felix is (was?) unusually valuable in extra-inning games because of his high K rate. That almost certainly won't be replaced -- have to start winning more games in regulation.

Injuries, especiallly to pitchers who throw hard, are part of the game. The Orioles have had fewer than their share this season. You want to be disappointed? Imagine that in the midst of a pennant race your shortstop, who is one of your best hitters, becomes unavailable for an unknown period of time for reasons that are hazy but have to do with a failure to keep a certain something in his pants. Now that's  :bangwall: .

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again. He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota. I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.

      I’d have brought up Young immediately after DFAing Kimbrel. Baker has no place on this club this year. Would have been nice to see Young up here.

      Yeah, but they could've brought him up a month ago and seen what they might have...And Im not "pining" for Brandon Young, just wondering if he's any better than some we have in the pen..
