I finally get to heat Jorge Mateo speak English. What a treat!

Mateo has always seemed like one of those guys that is easy to root for. Now that's he's settled into his utility role, he has a nice long career ahead of him.

LOL that hit Mateo even less than the one hit Rizzo's knee.  Def hit him though. Palmer - 'that's baseball's version of a toe job' LOL WUT

That win and this series (as a whole) was very satisfying!

I hope some of you got a chance to witness first hand that the Yankees are a good team, with very good pitching, but certainly nothing to fear. We are the better ball club.

They might let him start against righties the way Urias has been hitting.  Not ideal since he's best as a platoon player.

A triple's pretty good, too bad the guy behind him is hitting .197.

OPACY turning into a triples park now, who would ever thunk it.

It may be one of the West teams by the end but they are also probably the 2nd best team in the league right now.

Cleveland looked like the best team for awhile and KC is still making some noise.  The West is not as strong so far this year.

C'mon, that throw earlier was 99 MPH. Yes, way off the line. He just needs to work on it.

Like I said. He's got a strong arm, and a bad arm, both of those things can be true.

The Yankees are having to pinch hit Jahmani Jones in the 9th meanwhile we are starting  our defensive replacements in the game and they are hitting homers.  I remember the days of players like Jones coming off the bench for us in those awful years that was not fun times.  The Yankees have a few very superstar type players but they better hope they don't get some injuries because they have no depth where we have guys just waiting in AAA to get a chance that might even be better then the guys starting now.  Our depth will most likely pull us away from the rest of the division over time IMO.

I agree with your bottom line, but the NYY lineup will look a lot different if Judge becomes a scary slugger again.

      Do you ever keep count how many times the fans are wrong and Hyde is right?   I didn't think so.

      At one time, the Orioles seemed to be in the minority regarding keeping guys under wraps and to lower pitch counts.  Now this seems to be the rule among teams in the minors.

      Billy Cook 2023

      Billy Cook just keeps grinding his way along.   He gets a little better every year while advancing through the system.  He's at .862 OPS overall but .929 after almost 100 PA at Norfolk.   Striking out less.  Walking more.  Hitting more doubles but less homers so far.  Stealing some bases.  Playing all three OF positions, 1B and 2B.   Can I get a top 30 for this kid @Tony-OH? 😄

      He isn’t letting Grayson coming off a shoulder issue throw a bunch of pitches. I’m sure they had a number in mind before the game.

      Grayson Rodriguez 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      You aren't going to impress me with Kremer being the only decent player they got for Machado.  Sorry, that isn't an example of his competence.  As for Means, he got his improvement as a result of going outside of the system with an outside baseball training facility.   He gets a lot of credit for GrayRod though as many criticized the pick.

      Interesting new tactic to avoid draft being discouraged by MLB

      By Just Regular · Posted

      The Bryce move was less controversial because he didn't escape the guardrails of the draft regulating one and only one Club he had the opportunity to sell his labor to. Last CBA round during the international draft negotiations Tony Clark gave out a quote like "in principle we don't like drafts of any kind" Being selfish for Orioles and with Elias having the extra pool money this year because of Gunnar, I've wondered if Ethan Holliday could quick drop out of 11th grade with a few weeks to go, grab that GED, play one game for Stillwater Community College and earn reclassification to 2024.     Then he just needs to pull that John Elway or Eli Manning thing.

      Orioles attendance 2024

      By justD · Posted

      Received my voucher email last night (they'll be in my account as of May 24).  There's no way they could've known I was there for the whole game, so it appears everyone who had a ticket for that game and a MyOriolesTicket account received a voucher. Pretty generous!  Good for 2024, most M-Th games (select "blackout" dates excluded).
