Spoken like someone who didn't watch last season, as we slowly and steadily crept up on a team who was hotter than the surface of the sun the first two months, and bypassed them for the division.  

Different team.

MLB should put all the riches teams in their own division to make it fair.

I think MLB is not happy if the Yankees or the Redsox are not in the World Series.  They like the Dodgers and Mets and would be over joyed with a Subway series or a Yankees vs Dodgers series.  

They probably cringe when Tampa Bay or Arizona gets in.  What kind of national attention will they draw?  None.

MLB should do much more revenue sharing like the NFL does but that probably won’t happen either.

Are you suggesting that on June 5th, 2023 when the Rays were 43-19 and we were 39-20 and 4.5 games back you knew the Rays weren't a good team?

I'm not sure how I feel about batted balls up the middle being 5-3 or 6-3 grounders or lineouts.  I guess something has to give if you're going to ban shifts but it still kind of feels bad.

Then they lost 3/5 of their rotation. If the Yankees rotation stays healthy they can avoid the Rays' fate.

It closed out an era. Camden Yards opened a few years later.

New Cominsky Park also was a dud.   Camden put it to shame so much they have  been remodeling it off and on ever since.

    • Burnes has been putting up close to a 9 ERA for a month and he has lost his ability figure his way out of trouble.  I don't know if he has a tired arm or mentally tired or something is wrong.  At this point, running him out there every 5th day for the same terrible results is stupid.
    • You're not kidding, wow! :   https://www.espn.com/mlb/recap/_/gameId/401570466
    • I apologize, I was a bit rude with the way I responded.  Anyways, I think you are looking at this the wrong way.  He's handed a 3-1 lead and got the first batter out in the 3rd.  Then Urias makes an error.  Then he implodes and gives up 4 runs.  Just cause they are unearned doesn't get him off the hook.  He turned a 1 out base runner into a 4 run inning.  This is your ace and he has been bad all month and he came up small again.  And he can't control the running game either, he allowed 4 SB.  Usually his inability to hold runners doesn't matter because he doesn't allow many base runners but that's not been the case this month and it is really hurting the team.  Later in the 5th inning he allowed a lead off hit from the #9 batter on a 0-2 count.  Next Ohtani singed a ball at 108 MPH but thankfully it was right at O'Hearn who dropped it and didn't turn the DP but still got an out.  That easily couldn't have been a double.  Eventually his inability to control the run game combined with Gunnar's error led to another run.  So I'm not saying it's all his fault, but just pointing out that just looking at his outing with the 5 unearned runs is not looking at the whole picture And btw, I am not closing the book on him this season because I still believe that he'll turn it around.  But it is frustrating to see him have another outing like this.  
    • 1-3 with an 8+ ERA in August. 45 baserunners allowed in 25.2 innings. If he's battling an injury then he needs to go on the IL. If he's healthy then this stretch is probably going to cost him several years and tens of millions of dollars on his next contract. 
    • I vote for this.  At least for one start.   I wouldn’t use Burnes at all during that time. See if a full week off helps Burnes any.     Burnes’ time here is almost over.  Who cares what he thinks 
    • The Nats young players are also  playing with a lot less pressure than the Oriole players.  Everyone wants to call up all these prospects but this is what you get with youth sometimes.  Who has been the Orioles best hitter down the stretch?  Ramon Urias the veteran who several people here wanted to run out of town for the Holliday’s and Mayo’s.  Holliday and Mayo will most likely be better players eventually but not right away.  Westberg was one of the most consistent young hitters for this team this year and he has really been missed.  Let's tread water and get healthier and get to the playoffs and see what happens.
