Frazier’s fault I guess.

Hell yeah Tony.  Reminds me of that one Tenacious D song about being gentle.

Probably tells us more about your search history than anything else!

Its funny how Wells takes a ball that he already threw and was popped up and tosses it out of play.  Like it didnt touch the ground.   What can possibly be wrong with it now?   If it has a scuff dont they teach pitchers anymore how to use it to their advantage?  Its really amazing how many balls they throw out.  When did this insanity start?  Seems to me its only in the last 6-8 years.  

I've seen it at least since the tail end of the dark years before Buck. I'd say it started in the late oughts, if not earlier. Dunno what they teach them about the baseball -- do they think a scuff mark or something will make it more likely for them to lose control of the pitch?

This is game 15 of 17 in a row without a day off, with a series against TB and a series against HOU nestled nicely in the middle of that, with only 1 day off prior to that and a 15-game stretch prior to that which included a west-coast road trip. 

Just sayin'

Guys desperately need a day off and it's showing. 

Plus one of the Orioles fresher relievers Irvin got optioned down he would have helped some. The schedule makers did the Orioles no favors.

This team is not playing tonight like this is a pennant race..they have played lackadaisical sloppy baseball just like it was an end of the year series with Cleveland that meant zero.   

They're under pressure! Cracking from it even. 

 

Don't worry, they're about to become a diamond.

      5 losses in a row. Baltimore...we have a problem. Thread revisit...O's have no way to win the WS unless...

      By Roy Firestone · Posted

      I believe this is truly the "all in " year...not next year or the year after. After this year, it's conceivable we could lose Burnes, and Santander, and that would mean two of the best and(among) the most important players on the team. No Burnes(he'll command at least 30 million a year and likely more) would maybe give us ONE solid pitcher in Grod, and our outfield will be in flux. No, I think THIS is the year the Orioles have to win, and that means some dramatic, possibly risky trades at the break yield some significant upgrades to our beleaguered pitching both with starters and the pen. If we don't get it this year, we may never have a potential post season team in the next couple of years..not at this rate.

      Keith Law has O's taking Tommy White at #22 in latest mock draft

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Luke Dickerson, SS, Morris Knolls HS, Rockaway, N.J. There are shades of Jackson Merrill and Sammy Stafura with Dickerson as a northeast/mid-atlantic prep shortstop who has received a lot of late helium this spring. He’s an offense-oriented righthanded hitter with a background as a talented hockey player. He might fit better at second base or center field, but teams like his hit/power combination enough to take him inside the first two rounds. He had a solid showing at the draft combine last week, as well.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By terpoh · Posted

      As the bluejays continue to fade, I cant help but think that they would be a trade fit if they decide to sell.  Specifically Gausman and Berrios. Gausman is under contract for 2 seasons after this one, and Berrios has 4 years with an opt out after 2 years. So you would essentially have both of those guys for 2.5 years which would be a big boost for 2024, and the coming years with Burnes likely gone and Bradish out for 2025. They are both on hefty contracts (for Orioles standards) but with our payroll and new ownership group you would think that wouldnt be a huge problem. Not sure what the asking price would be for one of, or both, of those guys but worth looking into. I know its hard to look at trading within the division, especially what would potentially be a "blockbuster" type of  deal but I just dont see a ton of options on the trade market right now outside of the White Sox, A's and Rockies and none of those teams can match what the bluejays have to offer.

      He was all of that yes, but nothing close to Gunner so far or Cal's best year, and you also forgot about Eddie. not to mention Palmer in the 70,s

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      I don't trust Suarez at all.   He seems to lose command quickly.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By milbest77 · Posted

      I think we have to remember that Johnny Angelos hired Elias and the purpose was to cut payroll. Any halfway competent GM could hit on the Adley pick (or Witt if he went that route). I do give him props for the Gunnar and Westy picks, too. But, go back and watch Elias’ introductory press conference. He said the goal was to build an elite pipeline of talent. At no point were the words “win a World Series” ever uttered. Probably no correlation there, but interesting non-choice of words nonetheless. Elias won my admiration forever by getting rid of Chris Davis. Obviously, we still have to pay him, but just getting him out of the building was gigantic IMO.  I also can’t help but wonder if new ownership wants their own guy. I know Rubenstein has publicly said Elias is the guy, but we don’t know what is going on behind the scenes. Not sure if that is good or bad, but there’s the old saying “a new broom sweeps clean.”
