I’m sure this will fall on deaf ears, but we really shouldn’t overhype this series. Sure it’s important, as any division series is. But the season isn’t over if we sweep or get swept, and doing backfl

They are saying Cortes, Gil, and Cole on MLB radio for the Yankees against Suarez, Irvin, and Rodriguez.

We treated Cortes pretty rudely in the prior series (6 IP 4 ER).  Gil dominated us (6.1 IP, 0 R).  Rodriguez handled the Yankees (5.2 IP, 0 R).  We didn’t see Cole, they didn’t see Suarez or Irvin.

Since the Yankees left Baltimore:

Judge 1.444

Soto 1.039

Stanton .818

Trevino .775

Volpe .728

Torres .703

Verdugo .698

Rizzo .556

It’s still basically a two-man offense.

I am going to the game on Thursday. This is my second time at the new Yankee Stadium (sat in the bleachers in 2014 for Jeter's second to last game, wearing my O's 2014 division champions sweatshirt).

I am sitting in a good seat this time and will be getting there early.

Anthony Rizzo left tonight's game with "a lower right arm injury".

Red Sox stole 9 bases tonight.   5 off Stroman, 4 off the bullpen.   (All off C Jose Trevino, one of the two Cs who have split time for the behind the plate for the Yankees this year).

With the Yankee loss, the Orioles, Yankees, and Phillies are all tied in the loss column at 24, the lowest total in the MLB,

MLB.com still has Suarez, Povich and Irvin. I personally think it would be smart to piggyback Suarez and Povich.

"I hope we win one" is such weak energy, They're a good team but so are the O's.  

Teams should be fearing the O’s not the other way around.

The way some fans talk about the yanks and oh let’s just escape NY with one win you would think this is a message board for an underachieving NL team hovering around .500

Yankees and Os have each allowed 250 runs. Thats the fewest in baseball.

Yankees have scored 10 more runs.  Yankees are first in runs scored.  Os are second.  Don’t forget, Yankees have played 3 more games.

Os are 22-10 on the road. Yankees are 22-10 at home.

Yankees have out scored opponents by 124 runs.  Os are 114.  First and second in baseball.

The Yankees, Os and Phils are tied for fewest losses in the majors.

The Yankees have great pitching to date. With the exception of two players they aren't exactly the scariest lineup on earth and shouldn't be elevated to the '27 Yankees status.

I for one am terrified of the Jahmai Jones Revenge Series.

I wish MLB would change their playoff rules. I’m not just saying this because it’s the Orioles either. 
 

Bottom line is it’s highly possible these two teams wind up not only 1-2 in Division but in AL. Then if they meet up in playoffs it’s the DS round and not possible in the LCS. MLB should allow a WC team to be a 3 seed instead of 4 over the weakest division champ. For one your reward for winning the division is to face a division team right away and two wouldn’t you rather have the possibility of the two best teams meeting in the LCS anyway?

The OP is too pessimistic. NYY is 5-5 in their last 10, Orioles are 8-2. NYY have cooled down, as predicted. The O's are getting them at the right time. With that said, it's baseball. Anything can happen. I would be surprised if the Orioles don't take at least 2 out of 3, though.

      9/26: A Weak Effort In New York

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I was at a meeting and came out to the Orioles down 1-0. I looked away for what seemed like a minute and it was 5-0, then 7-0. Do we know why Burnes was lifted after just 69 pitches after 5 innings? Was he hurt? Do we know why Cano was brought into the game in the 6th (Have to imagine his adrenaline may not have been as flowing at that stage of the game)?  Obviously the bullpen was pretty horrific last night, but could some of this be because Hyde was using guys who typically are late in game relievers in the 6th inning?

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      Good point on the age.  I think it would have to be someone like Nate George from this year's draft just blowing up next year. The story would be how everyone missed on him because he played in a cold weather state.

      First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.

      Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By e16bball · Posted

      I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.
