Can’t believe they are favored -180 today. We will see about GRod….can see him getting lit up by the Phillies. And us scoring 3 or 4 runs like usual at home. 

I'm seeing 181 runs scored at home in 37 games.

181/37 = 4.89 runs a game.

And it was fun!   Great crowds, good games, we win 2 of 3 and outscore them by 7 in the series. We've caught the Phillies for overall #2 record in baseball, too, at 47-24.   If we finish wit

That was great baseball.

I don’t like losing and I certainly won’t like losing Bradish for any length of time (I refuse to say it’s for the whole season until they say so).  But that game was a ton of fun.  The performance by

5+ - 16 times

4 - 6

<4 - 15 times 

Pretty typical.  4 is the median point for most teams every year.

Great pitching matchups..sell out crowds.

Should be great viewing.

2 of the 3 best teams and arguably the leading contenders for CY in each league but is that the Sunday ESPn national game?  Nah..we got Boston vs NY!  

Yesterday turned out to be not fun at all. A loss, a lost player likely for the season.

I tuned in after the Bradish injury but I had a blast watching it. Great crowd, Santander blast, extras, two challenged plays at the plate, momentum going back and forth. Other than the outcome it was a fantastic game.

I don’t like losing and I certainly won’t like losing Bradish for any length of time (I refuse to say it’s for the whole season until they say so).  But that game was a ton of fun.  The performance by Akin, Santander’s game-tying homer, Santander’s throw to the plate, and Mullins’ slide — that was highly entertaining baseball.

It was only 1.5 seasons ago I had Taijuan Walker as one of the "better Jordan Lyleses" I thought might be an okay medium term rotation stabilizer.

Walker-Taillon-Bassitt were kind of a group of steadies if only Mike Elias would bid for a pitcher good enough to command more than a 1-year commitment.

I did scan the 7-game postseason formats this decade to see whether Kimbrel in the 2023 NLCS was far beyond other pitchers for torching championship hopes.

I get his -0.69 WPA 3rd worst.     Kimbrel yielded 1 run B9 to lose Game 3 2-1, and yielded 3 runs B8 to lose Game 4 6-5.     Those games occurred as PHI lost a 2-0 lead in Arizona against an opponent they had outplayed by about 162 pythagorean wins in season.

Kenley in the 2020 World Series was -0.78, in part thanks to Brett Phillips.    His team won though, so no great shakes.

Luke Jackson in the 2021 NLCS was -1.00, but his team also won.

Miguel Castro, Framber Valdez and Nick Anderson are the other 2020's outcomes in the -0.6 range on teams that lost.

I guess this might be a simple query if any of you have splurged for Stathead.

Series has been great so far. They had plenty of chances to win last night, and made it a little easier today. They get punched in the mouth and get right back up and punch back. I await the 14-10 final in tomorrows game.

Well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I hear ya. But yesterday was a great game. Today was more fun though! We are going to be okay despite the Bradish injury. I am confident that Elias won't make the same mistake again and go with a marginal add at the deadline. This time I believe he will go for the difference maker.

How many Hall of Fame starting pitchers in the finale tomorrow?

I saw Rob Thomson gave a quote maybe Trea Turner is back for the decider.    6 week absence and spot back in against Corbin Burnes.    Mike Elias is maybe going please please please as he thinks about if Coby Mayo needs to play a few complex games to really get back to the groove.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I didn't watch a pitch Sunday after that Saturday debacle. I had a charity ride to attend anyways, but I was not wasting a Sunday on this 2024 squad.  I'll probably watch some of the Yankees game, but my heart is out of this squad. I still want them to win, but they have given me no reason since May to think this team has any special abilities.  Injuries hurt them for sure, but they just don't have that "it" factor. They have the choke factor down pat though. I can deal with a bad team. Hell, I ran this place through the darkest, leanest years.  But what I can't deal with is an anti-clutch team. This is a team that can look victory in the face and find a way to lose. This is team with no ability to finish off a comeback.  Hell, even in their walk offs it's after their relievers choked away a lead.  The lack of hitting is boring. The lack of situational hitting is boring. The strikeout/homerun all or nothing approach is boring. The fact that they no longer steal bases or put pressure on the defense unless you count Masolino getting guys thrown out by 10 feet, is boring. The fact that both of their super prospects not came up did poorly, but literally crapped the bed and hit like pitchers is boring.  The fact that both of their number one overall selections have been either bad or awful is boring.  The fact that the "TOR" they picked up this offseason took a month and half "off" is boring. The fact that the Orioles still have Jimenez and Rivera on this team is boring.  It's just a boring team.  I'm just not interested in this 2024 squad and have zero faith in them that they can do anything in the playoffs. Even against the Royals (who will run all over the Orioles if they play them) or Twins, I don't give them much of a chance.  I'll never root against an Orioles team, and I hope that some miracle happens and they suddenly become a better team. But I will continue to say that this has been one of the most frustrating Orioles Playoff teams of all time.

      Jayden Daniels 55 air yards pass

      Now that Snyder has gone I can passively hope they do well. They should have kept the old name (Washington Football Team).

      Daniels just completed a pass for 55 yards thru the air.  The guy has a heck of an arm.  Commanders look like a good team again and are dominating an 0-2 Bengals team that is desperate for a win.  21-10 in 2nd quarter.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      Westburg is the guy I'd want to run a bit more, he seems a bit more like a heady type player so I could see his instincts growing there, and he had decent numbers in the minors. He's had an interesting year in the SB department, stole 4/5 in the month of April, then 1/3 in May and 1/1 in June, but hasn't had a straight steal since June 3rd. Wonder if moving up in the lineup killed his run game?

      Or a guy that can just come up and give innings when the bullpen is shot after a doubleheader or even give a spot start and then be sent back down.  Is Pham a likely future ML starter, no, but he might bail the O's out of a pitching bind multiple times next year.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By slakattack · Posted

      Saturday's game was epically bad and not the type of loss a team on the upswing into the playoffs would suffer and one that I certainly hate to witness. I couldn't watch most of the game Sunday, but I wouldn't DVR it and then peek at the score either, I don't think that I would ever watch if I knew the outcome of a game in advance. The surprise elation (Gunnar's bases loaded double) and the agony of the non-send and inability to hit a sac fly is what keeps me coming back, old fool that I am.

      Orioles attendance 2024

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      Predicting what the attendance will do next year is like predicting Hurrican season in January.  There are so many outside factors that it is just a guess.  How will they finish the year, how much will the spend in the offseason, how many corporations want to get ticket plans,   how is the economy in 6 months, how do they play next season what teams we play and when, will teams like Red Sox, Yankees and big draws play well.   I also think one of the biggest factors is what corporations want to sponsor give aways and what time of promotions will they run.  If you look at attendance some of the largest attendance games minus the Phillies, Yankees games are for the best giveaway souvenirs.
