In 1983 there was the famous TIppy Martinez 3 pickoff game, won by Lenn Sakata on a walkoff HR after he had to cach the top of the 12th.

Also in that series, was a great pitcher's duel, I want to say it was 0-0 into the 10th and the Orioles walked it off, I vaguely remember it might have been on a Dan Ford hit.

Then there was a 3rd game in that series where Toronto blew the O's out.   That was the game in that series that I attended, unfortunately.

I'm going tomorrow.  I hope it's not similar, where there are two memorable games and I get stuck with the dud.

I was at the Tippy game.  I had just turned 13.  Lenn Sakata went deep in extra innings.  The reason everyone tried to get big leads and steal was Lenn Sakata was catching.  Earl had used all his catchers pinch hitting.

I feel bad for Ron Washington. I know he has a past and all, but he's a good baseball guy. I'm sure he's happy to be a manager again but damn, the Angels are terrible.

Don't feel too bad. It's still not the stinker on the day Dave Trembley was elevated from interim to actual manager and he lost 30-3.

Orioles ran out of infielders too Roenicke was playing 3B and Lowentein at 2B. Tippy said he kept throwing it over to Eddie at 1B because he was the only infielder he recognized.

Different ends of the baseball coach/managerial spectrum, but both were probably glad to have the opportunity to be in the dugout.

    • Let's be honest, Gunnar ain't finishing second either.
    • Yeah, I don't think the Orioles' struggles against NL teams is very meaningful, but I do think the NL is stronger this year.  All the NL division leaders have looked formidable and steady throughout the season.  But also the Padres and Mets have kicked their seasons into another gear and have really impressed over the past couple of months.  Compare them to the Wild Card teams in the AL, and they just appear more formidable on paper.   Also the DBacks are pretty much outhitting everyone right now -- though that's been offset by their not so effective pitching.  
    • For sure he is out of consideration as the MVP favorite to copy Cal.  Of course,  Cal didn't have an Aaron Judge to compete with.  The runner-up in MVP voting in 1983 was a guy named Eddie Murray.  Eddie had more HR, more RBI, a higher slugging and OPS than Cal, but Cal had a higher WAR and batting average (.318 to .303).  I wonder if Eddie is bitter about losing the MVP to Cal?  A case could be made for either one. 
    • Going to lookup splits before/after AS break for 2024, but my gut tells me the O’s faltered against the NL Central division the last two years. Let’s see how October plays out!
    • I've heard folks I trust a lot here report on him as being good but on a gut level those plays bugged me too. I think Holliday is sufficient alone as a 5th infielder as a playoff roster gets configured, and believe in series you get injury replacements if Urias re-rolls the ankle or Gunnar breaks somebody else's arm.    Rivera and Soto are kind of both about that speed. From comments we know Urias, Westburg, Mountcastle the probable return order, but TBD on the Rivera, Soto, Eloy departures.    I think there's some value to Coby Mayo staying around even if he just watches ala '70 Grich "did not play in series".
    • He missed a cycle by inches on one of the doubles.
