Very solid week since the Tampa series ended. We went on the road and went 4-3 including a trip to the champion Astros, ending our stretch of 17 games in 17 days. The Rays, despite their gre

I guess RBI groundout counts as busting out for Mateo.

I refuse to root for the Jays, The Orioles need to win 5 games. Do it, starting with today.

Cleveland doesn’t seem quite so interested in fighting off a million pitches and acting like they are in the World Series since they were eliminated. 

Neither Means nor Gibson have done much nibbling. Seemed like Grayson and Kremer were trying to get them to chase and they don't do that.

Why am I not surprised? HR hit after Jays failed to turn a GIDP that would have been the third out. 

Only question is whether Rays win by 3 or more.

All in all, the O's just need to take care of business. 

We can wrap this thing up regardless of what Tampa does, and we have nothing but home games and playoff-eliminated teams left on our regular season calendar. 

Let's get it done.

Adley cranking out those XBH's.

 I believe that double made him the 10th player ever to get 150 walks and 100 extra base hits in his first two years in the majors.

The other 9 are Ted Williams, Ralph Kiner, Eddie Matthews, Jim Gilliam, Alvin Davis, Jeff Bagwell, Hideki Matsui, Kris Bryant, and Juan Soto.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      The Orioles have a single regular reliever with an ERA under 3, and that's Coulombe and he's only been back less than a week. Last year they had 4: Bautista, Cano, and Coulombe. Name 2023 ERA 2024 ERA DIFF Yennier Cano 2.11 3.2 1.09 Cionel Perez 3.54 4.61 1.07 Danny Coulombe 2.81 2.2 -0.61 Jacob Webb 3.27 3.15 -0.12 Bryan Baker 3.6 5.01 1.41 Those are some pretty big dropoffs for Cano, Perez. And while Baker isn't a regular, he's certainly been abysmal aside from like a 3-4 week stretch. But it's not just a regression for Cano and Perez, but we also need to look at the guys masquerading/masqueraded as a closer this year in Kimbrel and Seranthony. Kimbrel had a 5.33 ERA, Seranthony with a 3.43. Between the 2 of them, that's nearly 3x worse performance than Bautista. Bowman has been serviceable, but imploded recently. Soto has been awesome for a spell, but he's had periods where things looked really off. The bullpen is absolutely the Achilles heel of this club. Their collective ERA is 4.26 this season. The Royals had the worst in the AL bullpens up until the O's imploded yet again last night. The Royals bullpen ERA is 4.21, btw. It is a major concern going into the playoffs.

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      I thought about Rivera,  but I figured his ability to play two positions would keep him around.    It will be interesting to see what they decide.     One of the non-pitchers will need to be left off as I understand it.     13 max

      By SteveA · Posted

      I think there's room to keep both.   Shed some bad bullpen arms like Baker and Bowman.   Either Rivera or Gregory Soto can go.   So even if you add McDermott you can keep both Slater and Kjerstad.

      Good information.  I would agree for sure if it was a one game series.  Assuming the series goes 3 games, would you keep Slater over Kjerstad?     I guess if we are prioritizing RH bats, then I’d drop Holliday.

      Look at who you replying to, it's his thing.   Means nothing, adds absolutely nothing to the discussion.   Put him on your ignore list.   2-1 so far They made the playoffs They won that night and clinched a playoff spot

      Understood. My comment was 100% above vibes. They went 2-4 over their last six and lost 3 of 4 to Seattle to drop out of the division and into the wildcard spot. It wasn't a months long limp like the Orioles, but that--at least in my book--counts as limping in. They had no apparent "momentum" going in, but still turned it around. That was the point.
