Who hit Kjerstadt in the helmet?  Was it a Yankees pitcher?

Toronto hit him. And Burnes hit two guys lackadaisical…then the F’n BlowJays knocked out Westburg. Still pissed when they hit Jones when he signed his extension. The Blue Jays are due for some serious blowback from the Orioles

do not like vendettas, but the BJ’s need a bite

Ryan Mountcastle. Good guy . Good teammate. Better than average defender. Streaky hitter. Hasn't hit a HR since the Truman Administration. Hurt every single year. Lets move on from him next year.

For who?

No, Clay Holmes (Yankee closer) hit HK in the head.

Shocked you are willing to wait that long.

Still haven't gotten them back for not playing Mussina in the All Star Game.  Next time a Blue Jay gets hit, Oriole players should yell "That was for Mussina"

Square in the back of his head.   After Judge whined about getting hit on his hands--- you know-- his hands that are only 9 inches or so outside the strike zone.

    • Yep. This is probably the best team(record wise) that I just don't have a lot of interest in. I still watch and follow,  I just don't care about it when they lose.
    • I don't know what the feeling is in,  and around, Baltimore.  From my living room 3,000 miles away,  I just don't feel excited about the club right now.   We are just a handful of games away from the end of the season,  have an almost guaranteed  post season berth, and are in a tight race for another division title - and yet,  this is a very unexciting team that I expect to lose in the first round of the playoffs.   The injuries and mediocre play over the last two months have taken the wind out of my sails.  I would not be surprised at all to see us get swept by the Tigers.
    • Don't worry, they'll give you just enough optimism to get out of shrug mode before the Yankees series, then disappoint you. 🙂
    • I think, the tools are there. The pedigree is there. He is young. We are going to find out over the next 18 months what kind of "head" he has. Like all Oriole youngsters, I hope he can produce equal to his hype. But I think/hope he will have to earn his place starting with next spring. He will set the narrative and the Orioles control his future unless he is traded. IMO, he has a lot of work to do to earn what circumstance has presented this year..
    • I'm in shrug-mode for the rest of the season. It's just, we'll see how it shakes out at this point. The Orioles aren't a very good or healthy team right now, so... that's it! 
    • Hoping to get one game at this rate. 
    • The Tigers are on a roll, and an example of how seasons can turn on a dime in unexpected ways. In mid August they were 55-63, 8 games under .500 which was close to a season worst. But after a 20-9 stretch, they now have a solid chance of posting their first winning season in 8 years, and an outside chance of reaching the postseason for the first time since we beat them in the 2014 ALDS. They are 75-72 and 3.5 games behind Minnesota for the last WC spot.  Pitching is the main reason why, even after trading some arms at the deadline. They are 4th in MLB in ERA, have the likely Cy Young winner in Tarik Skubal, and a pretty good bullpen. Their offense has been average, led by All Star Riley Greene. Kerry Carpenter has also been excellent-- he missed most of the season with a back issue, but is playing now and playing well. We currently have TBDs tonight and tomorrow because the Tigers used openers twice last weekend vs the A's. The bulk followers of those games are both rookies who have been effective in limited innings, some as a SP some as a RP. Then, we likely face another rookie Sunday, but one who has been more entrenched in Detroit's rotation. Looking at those games, here's my best guess:  Eflin vs Opener/LHP Brant Hurter? (4-1, 3.00 ERA, 33 IP) Hurter threw 5.1 IP, 1 ER, 3 K as a follower last weekend Burnes vs Opener/RHP Ty Madden? (1-0, 2.57 ERA, 14 IP) Madden threw 5 IP, 1 ER, 7 K as a follower last weekend Povich vs RHP Keider Montero (5-6, 4.88 ERA, 83 IP) Montero threw a complete game, 3-hit shutout against Colorado on Tuesday A lot of the Tigers hot run has come against cellar dwellers. In their 20-9 stretch, they're 1-2 in series against current playoff teams. (Beat NYY, lost to CHC and SDP.) Hopefully we can stamp out some of their momentum, but facing three straight rookie SPs who are running hot lately is a bit spooky.
