I thought the relief arm was sent down. 
 

He went down for a reset and is now back. Played in 7 games. 
 

Sending Hays down doesn’t accomplish anything. 

I don’t think you actually read what I wrote and it’s really not smart to say sending him down can’t accomplish anything but I know enough that it’s a waste of time to continue this discussion with you.

Bigger question is will this turn into one of these 3 or 4 day slumps again on offense again? 

I think in general our at bats were not awful. Didn’t come thru in the clutch late.

BP continues to struggle and the offense continues to be super inconsistent game to game. They’re not going to rake every day but seems like every other game they’re coming up with 4-6 hits with 1-2 XBH’s. Not gonna cut it when you don’t walk either.

Call up Povich maybe he starts and Suarez goes to the bullpen. Or Povich can pitch out of the bullpen the team needs to do something.

Yeah, I'd like to see Povich start and Suarez back to the pen. I don't mind if it's just for 2-3 turns until Kremer returns.

I read it. 
 

Abreu is already back up.

The idea that this team thinks we should go to a 6 man pen is crazy stupid.

I think the 6 man rotation idea is dead now that Means is hurt again, right?

    • Me too. Driving 4 hours to have a father daughter date. Can't wait!
    • The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense.  
    • Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.   
    • How much different? They sat Judge yesterday, they threw their playoff starters for 5+ innings yesterday and today. They are also playing for the best record in the AL. They aren't mailing it in.
    • It’s not just the O’s. I’ve checked the Dodgers who have similar prices and they have a lot of upper deck NLDS games 2 & 3 available. Same for the NLCS. yanks still have seats available also. — In general, I’m sure alot of fans are just gonna wait till the day of to grab tickets.
    • That makes no sense. If they had to win their current series would have looked much different. 
    • I agree. You have to wonder if the Yankees are behind him getting hit. Perhaps the ghost of George has struck
