1 hit in 5 innings. Very similar offensive performance to last night. Holes in bats. Hitting it right at 'em. Lots of Ks. Ice cold, like the temperature. How quickly they figure it out will color their early season performance. If they figure it out in Pittsburg or Boston and keep trucking from there, it's gonna be a good season. If they're still frozen after their road trip, maybe the hype for the 2024 O's was overblown. We'll see.

Offense still doesn't have a pulse, eh?

Nope. This guy is pitching really well with good stuff, but this offense has showed nothing since the 2nd game of the season. 

Hitting is contagious and the problem with this long time core (Santander, Hays, Mountcastle, Hays, Mullins *though not playing today*) is they tend to go cold all at the same time. None of them are the kind of guys that will grind out an at bat with the team is struggling but more apt to swing early and make quick outs. 

Now we had hoped that Rutschman, Gunnar and Westburg would be different. I'm not convinced they are yet. Maybe they will be, but they've gone awfully cold at the same time. 

Now maybe you have to tip your cap to the Royals pitching. Or maybe you have to look the fact this team does not have a legitimate middle of the order hitter that will carry a team when guys are struggling.

As of 5:10 PM, the grounds crew have moved the tarp off the infield, though they do not yet seem to be in the process of rolling it up.

The analytics team chimed in and suggested this is the optimal way to 1) drain the field 2) be ready for more rain, yet keep the fans anticipating a potential start.

Burnes also isn't missing bats...only 2 Ks ..and none since the first..

That’s true Roy but he’s only given up 2 runs. Burnes is an absolute dog. The least of our worries by a very large margin.

I think it's a combination of all these things.

All I know is that if I had to face the Orioles in a meaningful series, I'd replace all the starters in my rotation with lefties that they're not familiar with and call it a day.  Take that to the bank.

      You must choose a 26-man roster from 26 seasons. Here are the rules. Ignore 2020 Select 13 position players, with 9 starters and 4 bench players Select 13 pitchers, with 5 starters and 8 relievers You can only select one player from each season from 1998-2024 (exclude 2020) You can only select a given player ONCE  Starting pitchers have to be starting pitchers, relievers have to be relievers I will amend rules as appropriate from any suggestions you have. Go.

      Rutschman 2nd half OPS .585 - McCann’s 2nd half OPS .785

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Adley's teams have beaten Witt's teams by about 25 games/season the last 2 years and hopefully can maintain a lead the next 2-3 days. If McCann bats 9th, and Ragans is gone before Batter Faced #27, would the risk of forfeiting the DH be considered if a righty reliever is attacking McCann in a key spot?    Hyde has at least Kjerstad and Holliday on the bench, and maybe one of Mullins or Cowser if Slater starts. I am guessing the roster tomorrow will be 14 bats and 12 arms, so you might have one extra somebody for the team's 36th or 45th plate appearance. One factor against taking the chance...zombie runner is gone so the two teams could have long extra innings for the first time all year.

      Cardinals open to trading Sonny Gray

      By casadeozo · Posted

      Not sure if it’s been shared already, but saw this and thought he would totally make sense as someone to target in the offseason. Cardinals are looking to reduce payroll, though not sure what a reasonable offer looks like for a 35 year old pitcher making 25 million a year for the next two years. A very light free agent class this year. Someone will definitely overpay for Burnes and I hope it’s not the Orioles. Severino, Buehler, Bieber and Max Fried are also intriguing. What say you? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/09/report-cardinals-open-to-offers-on-sonny-gray.html

      Corbin Burnes 2024

      By Grt 2BA FL Gator · Posted

      I was looking that up too. He was in the bullpen throughout 2018 brewers run. Had a very solid first playoff start in 2021, then a not so good one in 2023 as you posted. Postseason is a different animal, and he’s got some experience, but he’s not proven in the playoffs. Time to make that money Corbin!
