Rubenstein looks like Steve Martin to me.

Weather: dreary, but not enough rain to cause a delay yet. “Spitting”. If you sit outside for 30+ minutes your clothes will be very wet, but it’s not much coming down in the moment. I put my raincoat

Do not think they would do it but Grayson does have the big fastball that they would want in that role.  He also seems to have the personality of a bulldog and has lots of confidence so I think he does kind of fit the profile.  

Some were suggesting they move Grayson in that role in September. Irvin probably isn't really as good as he's showing right now so he goes to the pen for now. That could be a win/win.

I get the idea of Kimbrel pitching in the 7th or 8th.  If they think he still has something left then it could help his confidence, taking the closer pressure off for awhile.  I'm still a bit skeptical, but does anyone want to see him in the 9th inning right now?  

No. I want to see him in a game with a big lead or a big deficit. I realize we're not seeing a lot of those, but too bad.

      Extend Burnes

      How many RBI's has batting leadoff cost Gunnar?

      By DrungoHazewood · Posted

      You're probably right, using the least-logical lineup possible in each and every game would cost you more like 2-3 wins.Especially if it's a non-DH league and you're constantly giving the pitchers the most PAs.

      How many games will the O’s win during the 30 games in 31 days gauntlet?

      By DrungoHazewood · Posted

      Since 1901 16 teams have played at least .688 ball for a full season (non-COVID edition), and just 14 over a full season of at least 150 games. Over that same span 38 teams have played at least .688 ball over their first 60 games. 11 of those teams (including the 2020 Dodgers) didn't reach 100 wins on the season. Also, remember, there are some teams that won 111+ games and started worse than 42-18, so these aren't full subsets of the first group. For example, the 1906 Cubs, owner of the best record since 1900, started 41-19 and then got hot. The '22 Dodgers were 37-23 on their way to 111-51. The '26 Yanks started the year 43-17 and ended up 91-63 with Ruth and Gehrig in the lineup. As mentioned the 2022 Yanks were similar. The 1928 Yanks started 45-15 and went 56-38 the rest of the way. The '53 Yanks went 46-14 to start, and 53-38 the rest of the way. The best 60-game start ever was the 1912 Giants, who went 48-11-1, and 55-37 (.597) from then on out. I'd guess there's about an 80-90% chance the Yanks win less than 111 games this year.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      Kjerstad has a great chance to be the O's right fielder in 2025.

      FCL Orioles 2024

      By Rbiggs2525 · Posted

      Probably the most surprising part of our ML system this year is the advancement of young Latino pitchers. I tend to compare our system to the old Astros system. Luis Garcia and Christian Javier were never flame throwers. Both seemed to locate well with good sweepers.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      The Orioles certainly don’t need another SP but I do think they should be in the market for guys with multiple years of control who are an upgrade on the number 4 spot in the rotation. After Burnes, Bradish and Grayson, the Orioles have a lot of decent options in Kremer, Irvin, Suarez and Povich but upgrading on them could make a big difference in a playoff game. And that’s assuming we have those top 3 SP healthy in the playoffs.  There’s a limited number of spots to upgrade this team before the playoffs. After the back end of the bullpen, the #4 spot in the rotation is most impactful. And with Burnes hitting free agency, there’s definitely a need to have another playoff-caliber SP.  Crochet and Luzardo are the two most interesting potentially available SP with that extra control, and we know the Orioles had trade talks with both clubs this off-season. They know the Orioles’ system. The Orioles shouldn’t (and won’t) trade Holliday/Mayo/Basallo for them, but I think Kjerstad as the headliner is on the table and there’s a lot of other secondary and tertiary pieces in the system that could make a deal possible.

      How much do you care about winning the division?

      By DirtyBird · Posted

      With the balanced schedule, there should only be 1 wild card team.  It is ridiculous to have a 162 game schedule that still puts 40% of the league into the playoffs.
