Gunnar needs a triple for the cycle.   Watch him ruin it with an inside the park HR in the 9th.

Said it before and I'll say it again. He's my favorite pitcher on the O's. He's a legit bulldog .

Wouldn’t count on it. He’s a 20-25 guy. But if he hits .275 that’s beautiful 

He's on pace for 14 this season.  I don't think he'll end there, but it'd be nice to see him around 25. Right now his high is 20.

I still don't understand how Cano gave up a homer but it wasn't a barreled ball. Was an ITTP HR or a pesky pole?

A barrel is dependent on both EV and launch angle, and the range of acceptable launch angles is dependent on how hard it's hit.  He gave up a HR against the Brewers that barely cleared the 373 sign, and the EV was 99 MPH and the angle was 36.  The range of acceptable launch angles for a 99 MPH batted ball is 25-31.

Posting LIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE from Angels stadium behind the O's dugout with my wife. 

Lots of O's fans here.

Weather is great here in S Cal.....as usual.

Kremer looked in control and very calm.

Gunnar LOVES this stadium. I saw him here last year for 2 games and this year....and he has raked.  He looks like a CA guy and plays like one.

JH looks like a little kid when I saw him warming up and on the steps of the dugout during the game.   Machado did as well when I first saw him his first full year here, but he seemed 'older'.   His body was filled out more.  

I love Anaheim, the weather, the restaurants, the pretty (Asian) girls, and most of all the O's winning.

Let's hope they hold on.

Only negative is there are not nearly as many fans here, especially Asian, since Ohtani move to LA.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Yeah, that's what I was afraid of.  I'm sure Elias will kick the tires.  WS will be asking for package headed by one of Holliday, Mayo or Basallo.  Maybe price will come down in the offseason.

      Suarez is probably going to have to go back to the pen. We just don’t have enough arms there to make it through the season, especially with having very few relievers who can pitch more than 1 inning. Even though Suarez has been the much better pitcher than Kremer, he gives you no length. He is the basic definition of a “5 and dive” pitcher.  I guess they could try Kremer as a back end reliever given his strike out stuff and penchant for not being able to go through a lineup a third time. However, the downside to that is his susceptibility to the long ball.

      This is Crochet's first full year back from TJS after 12 IP last year. You'd have to think if you are trading for him, it's not for this year, but next year as he's likely only got a few more starts left him if he's handled responsibly, which he should be, coming back from TJS. He's under control through the 2026 season and there is value in that even though he's arb eligible and will likely get a nice bump in salary.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      Luzardo screams "flames out in a few years" to me. No thanks, or at least for what he'll cost. Robert has played literally one full season of baseball in his entire life. Again, too much risk and no thanks. Crochet would be a good target, because we get him for 2 1/2 years and is an elite lefty. Given where CHW are, a package with Kjerstad and one of our young pitchers (headlining) makes sense for both teams.  If we are forced to effectively give up on Mullins or Hays (either BC of injury or general suckiness), Taylor Ward does make sense. His name has been tossed around a lot. His splits playing against AL East teams kinda scare me, but he's a RH bat that can play good defensive OF and under team control for a few years and probably won't cost much. As for bullpen arms, this seems like the hardest to predict. CHW doesn't really have anybody pitching well there. The Marlins have our old friend Tanner Scott, but he isn't anything near a sure thing like other experienced closers. Mason Miller will cost too much. Chapman may make sense if DC is out. As a 36 year old rental he won't cost as much, which will be important if we go all in for a starter. His wildness will make our blood boil but he still has the swing and miss stuff and obviously a ton of playoff experience. Maybe Beeks from COL? Another lefty bullpen rental.

      I was against the idea of a Crochet addition before the Bradish injury because I didn’t see the need. Now, I’m all for it. He would be a gamble but a much better buy than Luzardo who is not pitching well at all this season. He (Luzardo) would be the kind of non-impact move that we tried last year, that blew up in our faces.  On the other hand Robert is more of a luxury move than a need. IMO the needs are now top end starting pitcher (#2/3 type) AND shut down reliever. Anything addition beyond that is gravy. The priorities are pitching.

      I think a RH bat is all we need offensively. I’d look at JD Martinez.

      How do other teams have ANY leverage? It’s not like Elias is forced to deal with them. If he was only dealing with one yea they would have leverage because the Orioles have a need on the roster. But because there are MULTIPLE with MULTIPLE players he can move on from any team and they will get nothing from us. Those other teams are incentivized to move their players JUST AS MUCH as we are incentivized to add. NOBODY is getting Westburg (or even asking for him at this point) or ANY OTHER MAINSTAY Major Leaguer of the roster. That’s not how the trade deadline works. As I mentioned nobody is going to the Yankees and saying give us Gil, Soto, Judge, Rodon, etc. Nobody is asking the Dodgers for Betts, Freeman, Ohtani, etc. Teams who are rebuilding/selling are asking for prospects. Oakland and the Chicago White Sox are not one player or even one year away. Guys who are already established now (even young ones like Jordan Westburg) do nothing for them in their phase of rebuilding.
