Was Harvey throwing 100 with the O's?

Not saying they won't win this game, but sometimes over an extended schedule like what MLB has.....you just get beat.  Even the best teams are doing great to win 100 games.  Which means they still lose 62 games.  Which is well over 1/3 of all their games. 

Is what it is and on to the next. 

You are correct but sometimes only bitching and moaning can release the right amount of stress.

Kjerstad of course.

NO running Mullins.  He not worth it.

Yeah, we could lose the game!

Don't think so.  What year we draft him?  2013?  Imagine waiting ten years for a guy to pay off?

Henderson at least showing some fire, slamming the helmet.

[OriolesMagic83]

Trading for Harvey would be a nice upgrade at the deadline.  Does he have 1 year of control after this year?

Some nights, you sweep away a >.500 team and they barely manage to do anything against you...

Other nights, your offense doesn't show up to the park against a .500 team.

Baffling and puzzling, but that's how baseball goes I guess...

He did that a lot in April 2023.

Yes but the question is why?  The O's haven't shown they could hit 95, or 90... or 85...  Why waste good pitches?

The mistake that at-bat was taking the 2-1 center cut fastball. 100 or not that's a barrel pitch.

And then completely threw him with the 82 mph pitch that he swung and missed for the K. Quite a differential.

The one thing I am a little concerned about is Gunnar is 5 for his last 33.

It may be time to drop him in the lineup to 3rd or 4th, where imo he should be anyway.

Bat Mateo or Mullins leadoff.

Legit question. How does the umpire union have any power/sway?

most fans (and I’m sure players) want robot umps. Add to that the last time there was a work stoppage, MLB won and did not invite several umps back.
