But how is his xWOSAUSAGE?

I'm really broken up about it.

The O’s took the opening series of the year against the Angels 2 games to 1.  Since then, the Angels have gone 8-11, for a 9-13 overall record.  Looks like the pitching matchups will be:  Suarez

No question. No idea what we get out of Suarez tonight and like you said, Detmers has been legit good this year, so tonight could be tough but 2 out of 3 should certainly happen.

Yeah, if they're gonna drop a game in this series, tonight looks to be the one.  

They don't have a lot of hitters in the red on Statcast.  Sano seems to be going through some kind of a renaissance, Trout is doing Trout things but still only hitting .244 with a .323 on base...but 8 homers.  I'm not too worried about their offense, outside of Trout, Ward and Sano...quite frankly, this is the type of team I'd want to get Suarez that second start against to see if any of that magic from the first start carries over.

Plus the weather should be good and that has historically been a good park for pitchers.

Just tell him to stay away from Trout.

As the past two games showed, baseball can be rather unpredictable.

Angels announced Robert Stephenson out for the year recently.     Jose Soriano, who was big in relief in their win at OPACY, has joined the rotation and is out of this series.

They were just swept in Cincinnati with neither Carlos Estevez nor Matt Moore pitching at all, so Wash will get to be aggressive with his best relievers in close games.

After just six stolen bases in the last four years, Trout is up to 5 SB already as they are running.

I don’t know how to respond to the idea that you feel his sausage is delicious but to quote Seinfeld…”not that there’s anything wrong with that”

 

Would you prefer "long and hot?"

Another series W. Had Trout not hit that leadoff homer off GR in Game 2, then I think we sweep them. That HR got in GR’a head. This team sure is fun to watch. Never out of it. 

Job well done. On to the next one. Much appreciation for whoever does these series posts each time.

      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?

      By Wavetrapper · Posted

      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

      By jamalshw · Posted

      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.
