Irvin allowed two 2-run homers.   We didn’t hit enough to overcome that.   Pretty bad day at the plate.

That's a surpirse about the batting. I've been impressed at how good the top of the lineup is at the bat. Do you think it was just a lackluster showing or was the AZ pitching pretty solid? Henderson did hit that double at the end which was awesome.

These things happen over a long season. Davies was definitely good. He threw strikes and made good pitches. The umpires also gifted him several strikes when we were threatening.

Overall, we have a good lineup that has performed well. Perhaps the one negative is we don't a Freddie Freeman/Acuna type with 1.000 OPS. We've got a bunch of .800 OPS guys up and down the lineup. We don't have anyone who is likely hit 30 HR this year unless Santander stays hot (ATL already has four plus a likely fifth!). That means we need timely hitting and you never know when it's going to show up.

The key inning was the top of the 3rd.  O's trailed 2-1 but had first and second with nobody out.  Henderson hit the ball hard the opposite way but right at the LF.  Santander smoked a ball to RF and it looked like a 2-run double off the bat, but the RF made a nice play and caught it on the fly, and Urias was doubled off second.  Inning over.   Bad luck, it happens.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      Baltimore and DC surrounding population around 9 million. NYC around 24 million.

      This is accurate based on pockets.  But the Yankees have positive Cash Flow even with the huge payroll, because they are the richest franchise in the MLB.  The fact that the owner can fund higher salaries is certainly important, but it isn't the same thing as team revenue.

      These two paragraphs are not congruent.  I disagree that the Orioles have to resign Burnes.  I think they should be in on him, but they don't have to sign him. I completely agree that if they do not sign him the have to have another TOR.  I think counting on Bradish to return is a poor decision.  You hope so, but planning on it would be weak.  Same with assuming #2 status for Rodriquez.  His case is stronger of course, but still.  We have some depth IF we have a TOR and that should be Burnes or someone comparable.

      What about Tomoyuki Sugano for 2025?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      There are several. Snell, Pivetta, Bieber (depending on structure of the contract), Nick Martinez (swing type guy) and Heaney.  May be others. This is off the top of my head.

      I think this is correct but I would say it differently.  I think Elias has done a great job constructing the organization and making it one of the top teams, complete teams, in baseball.  That was a huge hurdle from where he started and that has been a major success. Getting from a top MLB team to a successful playoff team may seem like a small jump but it is pretty large.  And Elias has been tentative at best at trying to make those changes.  He has taken an incremental path in hopes of maximizing his long term potential.  So far that really hasn't had much success.   But like Elias, we really should not assume that the changes needed to make that seemingly small jump from AL East contender to WS contender will not require some pretty big things.  I don't know if that is really different than what you are saying.

      It was never in hindsight. The Os were always against it. We had the numbers. We knew how bad it was going to effect the team.   That is why the MaSN deal was structured the way it was. It benefited the Os for a reason. That was essentially the compromise to having the team move to DC.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      The Mets just had more exciting wins in one week than we had in four months.  I called us the Dull Orange Machine a few weeks ago for a reason.  Really boring team most of the season, with no personality at all.  They seemed to have a "get knocked down, stay down" mentality, which isn't fun to support as a fan.  There are a lot of very good reasons noted here as to why attendance wasn't great, but the energy around this team and the organization is just low and that can't help.  And a slow and boring offseason that doesn't move the needle much won't help attendance heading into next season either.
