Managing decisions aside, at some point later in the year we will need Kimbrel to beat the best dude the other team has to throw against us in a big situation. I am not too happy about the prospects.

Brach has to be getting paid per word spoken

My favorite was last night when Roy said that the 4 run lead we had wasn't enough because "there's been a lot of traffic on the basepaths the last couple innings".   Burnes was in the midst of a 7 inn

I tried switching to the radio broadcast team and instead of the game they’re talking about a tornado on the ground headed towards Germantown and later Gaithersburg. Stay safe, y’all

That was about as dominant a half inning as you’ll see.  Tip of the cap to Yimi. 

Yimi is a free agent after this year, and he's making $6 million this year.   If the Jays fall out of it, I wonder if they'll make him available???

LOL.   We are on a pace to win 100+ games.   But it "feels like Elias is going to punt"????

You know better than to take anything he says seriously.

That's why Elias needs to trade for high leverage bullpen arm. I don't want rely on what version of Kimbrel decides to show up that night.

This may have saved Schneider's job.

The May 13 win in Baltimore, Schneider got demonstrative in his postgame interview how it was a big win for May 13th.

I feel like Atkins with this group early went to the "fire the manager" move, and Schneider still yet isn't to two full seasons.

Do we?   We had scored 3+ runs in 13 games in a row until tonight.

This is the first time in two weeks we only got 2.

Tonight was a rarity.   We are the highest scoring team in all of baseball this year.   Ahead of the Yankees.

 

True except that during that same period we've lost ground.

Yimi was worth -0.1 WAR last year. Maybe he has changed the repertoire and this is who he is now, but I wouldn't want to give up a lot for him.

And he stunk against the O's last year too. 

There's a warehouse analyst or three whose current job is mostly devoted to identifying which of this year's Yimi Garcias are the most likely to keep it going through October.

      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.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      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.

      2024 Playoff ticket availability

      By KojiSplit · Posted

      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
