I don't know how it affected the team. Having the pressure on you at all times because people keep talking about the streak. Maybe now they can just loosen up and play baseball.

Didn't say I preferred it.

Yes there is no doubt being asked about this all the time puts some kind of pressure.  The best cure for being swept in a 3 game road trip is getting to play the 2024 Chicago White Sox.

Came into today in AL -rankings 

 

7th - BA

1st- SLG

13th- OBP

1st- RPG

 

I like this lineup and think they will hit. That said I think it will be hard to maintain the offense with that kind of OBP.

 

Yeah their OBP is now .298. Only CHW, OAK, CIN, and MIA are lower. Not the company you want to be in and not conducive to success.

The OBP is a big problem. I thought they’d be better than that especially on the heels of last year. It’s one of the most disappointing aspects of the season for me. 

Baseball Reference doesn't have this game stats yet.  

So coming into today we had a .301 OBP, good for 26th in the league (League avg is .312)

Last year we had .321 OBP good for 15th in the league (League avg was .320).

This year w/ RISP we have a .777 OPS (.319 OBP), (League avg. is 333 OBP)

Last year w/ RISP we had a 837 OPS (OBP .356), (League avg OBP .320)

Especially since it seems it is something they stress pretty heavily in the minors.

Adley having 10 walks in 48 games is shocking to me. That's four fewer than Salvy Perez, who's famous for not walking. Life is just too easy for a pitcher against the Orioles right now.

How many errors does Gunnar have this season? I want to say a fair amount. Didn't see the game, but appears he had a critical one in that sixth inning.

The damn delays the last two games didn't help.

The delays hurt the O's starting pitchers.

St Louis didn't have much trouble putting wins together. I'm not trying to be ignorant but this is a team that most believes to be a WS contender. 4 starters today came in hitting below .211. At some point guys with a track record needs to wake up, and in the meantime it would be nice to limit having Hays, Mullins and Santander in the lineup together. There's really no reason for Santander to be in the top of the lineup right now.

We need to hold Hyde accountable.

Been pretty brutal watching the offense lately.  Hopefully the bats wake up in the Windy City. 

So many players getting regular at bats can’t hit right now and/or have been bad for a long time.

Mayo injury notwithstanding, this team has too much young offensive talent to continue to watch guys be helpless up there.

      Orioles win; Yankees lose

      It's in our hands, after all (three of the next four, anyway).

      O's @ Yankees Series, June 18-20 (Tues-Thurs)

      By now · Posted

      It's rather ironic that in the biggest series, we pitch our preseason 7-8-9 starters against the Skankees. So far so good with our deep depth in the rotation. What a coup it would be to take the series that way!

      Gotta beat the best if you want to be the best. Hoping for a series win but it’s a hard series to predict considering they’re so evenly matched.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By 24fps · Posted

      I'm completely fine with Irvin and Kremer as numbers 4 and 5, but not so much as 3 and 4, Suarez and Povich are great as depth and stopgaps for the next few weeks.  A #3 starter is a clear need if Bradish is gone for the rest of the year.  Fortunately there's enough time before the trade deadline figure that out, but I'm not optimistic about his prospects.  It's a pipe dream to think that the O's are in the driver's seat at the moment, so personally, I'm looking for the best starter I can find that doesn't cost Holliday, Mayo and Basallo at the MiL level and Westburg, Henderson, Rodriguez, Cowser and Rutchman at the ML level. Being a player in the post season is going to be expensive, but the future for the O's is now and it's no secret.

      O's @ Yankees Series, June 18-20 (Tues-Thurs)

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Provided the O's win tomorrow and even better if the Yankees lose tomorrow, the O's will be within range of the division lead. The players are focused on tomorrow's game, but I figured I would take a look ahead at the series. The good:  O's don't have to face Gil or Rodon.  Gil pitched Friday, but Gil seems to have been given extra rest or Yankees are going to 6 man rotation?  O's offense has been resurgent lately and the coldest bats in May are some of the hottest like Santander and Urias and Hays(maybe?).  Gunnar and Adley continue to dependable cogs of the offense. The bad:  Judge has just been mashing the ball since the O's/Yankees early season meeting.  Soto is healthy after the forearm soreness.  Some guy the Yankees signed as a depth move, Cody Poteet, who had a 19-39 minor league record, now has a ERA barely over 2 in limited action.  Poteet is Tuesday's starter.  Cole had 10 K's in 4 1/3 innings in his last rehab start and is likely Wednesday's starter.  Yankees barely have any injuries. The ugly:  The state of the O's bullpen compared to the teams' first meeting.  Danny Coulombe, maybe our best reliever was a huge loss.  Not having Bradish for Thursday game is huge.  Winning 2 of 3 would be great.  Realistically, I would be happy if the O's don't get swept. Tuesday:   Suarez (3-0, 1.61 ERA)  vs Poteet (3-0, 2.14 ERA) Wednesday:  Povich (0-1, 4,76 ERA) vs Undecided (Cole?) 0-0 Thursday:  Irvin (6-3, 3.03 ERA) vs Cortes (3-5, 3.59 ERA)

      This would be a perfect time for the NYY to go on a nice losing streak...

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OsFanInOhio · Posted

      1) Jack flaherty had like 5 or 6 good starts in a row before we traded for him. His overall era wasn’t great, but the month or so before he had been pitching much better.    2) whip plays a bit better as a reliever if it’s walks and high k rate when they are less worried about managing pitch count over 5+ innings. It’s not ideal but it plays better out of the pen (see dl hall) 3) Burnes is a top 5 pitcher in baseball, and we got him for a full season. Tanner Scott is nowhere near a top 5 reliever and we’d probably get him for 2 months.    if we got Scott for a package like what we gave up for flaherty or a bit better, I’m fine with it. Norby if we are convinced that is the reliever that gets us over the hump. But I’m not sure Scott is that guy, or that we are one reliever away (especially if bradish is out).
