Three more chances this weekend for these teams to square off... my money is on the 95-58 team over the 73-81 team - every time.  It'll be OK, sometimes the bad team wins.

Riiiiiiight.... we should have taken out our starter after 4 innings, right after he had a 12 pitch 3 strikeout inning, and was pitching a shutout, when our bullpen is a bit thin. LOL

i swear i heard them say Lopez needs to get it together to be on the playoff roster for us, they don't even know the rules.

I think bullpen games from the opponent always seems to throw us off...but the grueling, no day off schedule is grinding this team down...im not convinced we will win the division now...

Never should they allow a team to go this long without an off day. Unless it's with old September roster expansion rules.

Oh, God, it Jorge Lopez...theyre waving the white flag...this is what happens when our pitchers cant give u at least 6 innings...and the pen is gassed...

Dont matter, their not scoring tonight with an umpire calling strikes on balls a foot off the plate against us. Lopez/Fuji should of finished the game after GRod and kept Hall fresh for the next 3.

Big inning here.   If we don't score, we probably leave Lopez out there for the 9th because our chances of scoring down 2 in the 9th vs Clase are slim.

If we pick up a couple runs it suddenly becomes high leverage and we can probably use guys like Perez and Cano in the 8th and 9th.

Clase leads all of baseball in blown saves.

      Good stuff. The bullpen does do a good job of getting groundballs and Bradish, GRod and Burnes are not flyball heavy pitchers although obviously GROd and Bradish have only been out there so much since the start of 2023 and Burnes is just 2024.  Still, they have kept those numbers down.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By foxfield · Posted

      I twisted something and included Cohen.  That's my bad.  And I agree with almost all of this.  My post was more on tying the uber wealth of current ownership to simply having the ability to spend to any level.  The Orioles ownership group is one of the most powerful in all of sports.  I think they will make the Orioles more profitable and I think those profits will be reinvested in a way previous ownership did not. I do not anticipate, but would wildly applaud, ownership funding talent/salary increases out of pocket.  Thanks for the well articulated response.

      Or another drop-off. Which is more likely at 37?

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      I don’t think we have heard that at all. I believe Elias said that Mateo should be a full go for ST. If what you are saying is accurate, I would agree it’s not worth keeping him around. I just don’t think it’s accurate.

      Mateo is going to llikely miss the first part of the year and then be limited for much of the year d/t his elbow injury.  I think he won't be able to do much more than DH the early part of the year.  Is he worth signing just for 2025.  Imo, if the O's bring him back, it should be for 2 years.  It could be that Mateo is the backup 1B to Mayo, don't laugh.

      His statcast page is really good though. He could be a candidate for a bounce back and will likely be a relatively cheap signing. I don’t love the fit but I can see the justification for doing it.

      Mathematically I'm sure they will get better just because they have been so bad against the pass so far this year I can't imagine it getting much worse. I'm not so sure they will take a step forward against the team that has scored the most points in the whole NFL next Sunday though.   😬 Our best defensive game so far was against Josh Allen and the Bills though so I guess anything is possible.  You would think we would be able to come up with some schemes to confuse a rookie QB.
