Imagine if he out-pitches Cole though. That would be hilarious. If I'm not mistaken a few of our starters have bested Cole before, but I'm too lazy to do the research lol. 

I'm more concerned about the other two, really.  It's Cole's first start back and even if he dominates, well he's Gerrit Cole.

The Orioles have the lowest OPS vs Cortes of any American League team (555) and that's over ten games.  The Red Sox have also faced Cortes ten times and their OPS is 819.  That's a problem.

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

How can the Yankee$ catachers being rated above the Orioles.  Is it just a function of how many games Adley has been the DH?

How can we have the second best ERA in baseball and be that far behind them in SP rating?  No way.  Their starting pitchers are very good but for all the complaining done around here about our starters, they're pretty damn good and the gap is minimal.

More like how bad McCann has been. 

I am surprised to see the Yankees have a below average bullpen.

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again. He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota. I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.

      I’d have brought up Young immediately after DFAing Kimbrel. Baker has no place on this club this year. Would have been nice to see Young up here.

      Yeah, but they could've brought him up a month ago and seen what they might have...And Im not "pining" for Brandon Young, just wondering if he's any better than some we have in the pen..
