Look, the Yankee hitters are heating up, the Bombers scored 15 runs in consecutive games this weekend. Soto is on fire and Judge always kills us at home. He missed 56 games last year. Stanton is healthy too and Volpe is a good hitting shortstop.Their pitching is very good even without Cole for now. I dont think the Orioles have played a great team so far this year. Sure, some teams played well and have good records, but I think the Yankees have more talent top to bottom than any team in the AL.I am very concerned about GROD, he pitched horribly last time out, he gave up 7 runs and 11 hits in about 4  innings and that was a light hitting Angel team... and maybe he can bounce back, but he gives up home runs and the Yankees are a HR hitting team. The Orioles will have to work with a very fatigued bullpen and the Yankees will make our pitchers work even harder. Yes, the Orioles have one of the best offenses in baseball, but they haven't faced great pitching and often failed against mediocre pitching. I know people will call me negative here but I see a very very tough series given where the pitching is...Id be happy to split, but I think the Yankees sweep us or we scratch out one win. Sorry, thats how I feel.

I'd rather read a thousand reverse lock posts from Roy Firestone than a single truth nugget post from you.

I've posted here for something like 20 years and don't remember 1 post from Roy that picks a fight with another poster like yours does here. Make the reverse lock point. Calm down. Enjoy the vict

LOL. Zero regular season sweeps for two years but suddenly we’re going to lose four straight at home. OK Roy.  And then when we win tonight you’ll claim reverse jinx victory. 
 

Whatever gets you through the series I suppose.

The Orioles offense (along with LAD and ATL) is on a different level than the Yankees and every other team so far this year. That doesn’t mean they’re not dangerous or that they won’t “destroy us”, but the Orioles are flat out better. Maybe they’re the ones who should be worried.

If Westburg's tummy still hurts, we will have Urias and Mateo at the bottom of the order again tonight.

They pitch much better than us, and their offensive numbers went from middling to pretty good thanks to MIL having to use retreads and position players on the mound during that series. I expect Soto to do Soto things, but they aren't the terrifying Yankee team with the bats.

I am concerned for the pen if they blow Rodriguez out after seeing his last two starts. I'm not sure why his fastball is so terrible right now.

Well, that's great, because the Yankees don't have great pitching so we'll be fine. Last time I checked Judge was awful. I'm sure he'll snap out of it, but we thought that about Chris Davis too. Orioles take 3 of 4.

Aaron Judge has started to wake up offensively with a 1.091 OPS and 3 home runs the last 7 games. Here's hoping Wall-timore robs Judge of a couple cheap home runs and we get to hear him whine to the media again.

The quality of pitching has a lot to do with that. MIL was awful and throwing retreads and position players out there this past series.

Wait...the Yankees have the 2nd best pitching MLB. We are middle of the pack in the teens. What is great pitching in your estimation?

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      Baltimore and DC surrounding population around 9 million. NYC around 24 million.

      This is accurate based on pockets.  But the Yankees have positive Cash Flow even with the huge payroll, because they are the richest franchise in the MLB.  The fact that the owner can fund higher salaries is certainly important, but it isn't the same thing as team revenue.

      These two paragraphs are not congruent.  I disagree that the Orioles have to resign Burnes.  I think they should be in on him, but they don't have to sign him. I completely agree that if they do not sign him the have to have another TOR.  I think counting on Bradish to return is a poor decision.  You hope so, but planning on it would be weak.  Same with assuming #2 status for Rodriquez.  His case is stronger of course, but still.  We have some depth IF we have a TOR and that should be Burnes or someone comparable.

      What about Tomoyuki Sugano for 2025?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      There are several. Snell, Pivetta, Bieber (depending on structure of the contract), Nick Martinez (swing type guy) and Heaney.  May be others. This is off the top of my head.

      I think this is correct but I would say it differently.  I think Elias has done a great job constructing the organization and making it one of the top teams, complete teams, in baseball.  That was a huge hurdle from where he started and that has been a major success. Getting from a top MLB team to a successful playoff team may seem like a small jump but it is pretty large.  And Elias has been tentative at best at trying to make those changes.  He has taken an incremental path in hopes of maximizing his long term potential.  So far that really hasn't had much success.   But like Elias, we really should not assume that the changes needed to make that seemingly small jump from AL East contender to WS contender will not require some pretty big things.  I don't know if that is really different than what you are saying.

      It was never in hindsight. The Os were always against it. We had the numbers. We knew how bad it was going to effect the team.   That is why the MaSN deal was structured the way it was. It benefited the Os for a reason. That was essentially the compromise to having the team move to DC.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      The Mets just had more exciting wins in one week than we had in four months.  I called us the Dull Orange Machine a few weeks ago for a reason.  Really boring team most of the season, with no personality at all.  They seemed to have a "get knocked down, stay down" mentality, which isn't fun to support as a fan.  There are a lot of very good reasons noted here as to why attendance wasn't great, but the energy around this team and the organization is just low and that can't help.  And a slow and boring offseason that doesn't move the needle much won't help attendance heading into next season either.
