My neighbor is a diehard Cards fan. He says JF’s issue has always been something physical, as in when he doesn’t feel completely optimal they’d find out that something was nagging him. I don’t know how to not describe that as mental but I also can understand someone not wanting to compete against the best in the world when they don’t feel right. However, not an excuse for him and I certainly would like to see him and the rest of the team do the best they can with what they have. That’s part of being a pro. They won’t always have their best stuff. The good players figure out how to compete and succeed in those moments.

I’m hoping JF bears down a bit today and gives the O’s the start that he’s capable of this afternoon. A sweep against the Rocks would be real nice. 

Jim Palmer would pull himself from games when he didn’t feel right.  He got criticized for it at times too.  If a guy doesn’t feel right, I would rather him tell the manager vs gut it out.

They have scored 6 runs while he has been on mound in the 4 games.  Your not gonna win to many games getting 1.5 runs a game while your in.  He has given us chance 3 or those 4 games.

Questioning someone's "mental makeup," is code for "I have no idea what I'm talking about and I have not a clue into what it takes to pitch in the Major Leagues." None of us, with the possible excepti

There's just something off about the guy. I can't put my finger on it but just not impressed with his presence on the mound. 

He looks very nonchalant about everything. He kind of looks like he doesn't care, though I'm sure he does.

Just curious why the Orioles would start a former NL er  against a National League team.  San Diego and Colorado.  He must be known to some extent by them.  

So if the O's make the World Series they shouldn't let Flaherty pitch?

He’s a west coast guy. Personality is just more laid back, which isn’t abnormal for west coast athletes. Doesn’t make him a bad guy or that he has a bad attitude or anything like that but hey, keep thinking you have a clue as to what is going on inside his head. 

Threw a lot of strikes today..missed a lot of bats. Got unlucky with some of the hits.

      Orioles attendance 2024

      By Rbiggs2525 · Posted

      I always compare where we are in attendance to payroll. As it stands our attendance will be 19th in the league and payroll 22nd. The Twins are at 19th with 130 million dollar payroll which is 22 million higher than ours. I expect the Nats and Tigers to spend a little this offseason so that 130 million mark for 19th place may move closer to 140. Still gives this team 50-60 million to spend on either resigning guys or free agents.

      Well, the changes to the flex plans this year led both me ($1200 plan) and my friend ($2500 plan) to not renew for next year. The decision to more severely limit playoff presale access and dramatically reduce the discount on food and drinks at the park just didn’t make it worth it to tie up that much money in advance. So, we’ll likely go to far fewer games next year. Given the press reports and online reaction, I have to think we weren’t alone in our decision making.

      Rivera and Soto are hitting.   Holliday and Mayo are not.

      Holliday could fill the role of pinch runner that Mateo would fill.

      Yeah. I don’t get that either. SEA would win head to head tie with HOU and push HOU into WC race but it’s irrelevant if the loses don’t match.

      Maybe, just maybe, theres a ray of hope

      By maybenxtyr · Posted

      Regardless of how down I've been about their recent play, there's always been some hope. Getting some guys back in time for the post season will definitely help.    The way this team has been built requires a group effort. I mean,  Gunnar is a huge star, but the lineup when healthy can be competitive top to bottom. I'm not knocking NY here, but if you can eliminate Judge(almost impossible), you stand a chance vs them. I'm not implying that they will go on a deep run because we've seen how bad it can be, but simply saying that getting healthy and having a shot is the best we as fans could have hoped for with the way this season has gone.

      So who goes when Westburg and Urias come back?   My first cut is Jimenez.   The second is harder.    Liv Soto is the backup SS so I keep him.     Rivera is a good back up at 1B.   He is out of options.   Then there are  Holliday and Mayo.   Both have options. What's a GM to do?
