Meh… we ran into a couple…could been anyone.

We have just awakened a sleeping dragon and filled him with a yada yada.

Not sure what any of the second sentence means. Or really the first for that matter.

What actually happened was we kicked their butts!

Hard not to be pumped for a game like this!    Two excellent teams that have gone toe to toe and split the first two games, two potential Cy Young Award winners on the mound, a sellout crowd, a beauti

I guess the feeling of doom every time they other other (really good major league team) does something well  just rubs me the wrong way. I was watching the game yesterday but wasn't in the game t

10 straight quality starts for Burnes.   Two short of Palmer's team record.   Guess he could tie it the first game of the Rangers series  on the 28th.   (98 Rock night, Joan Jett at the splash station!).

 

Will they have Joan in the booth for an inning or two that night?  She is awesome

Ha has said he has dreamed about free agency and is going to test the market.  He can choose from a lot of really good teams to go to.  

Where did I say he's not going to test the market? And the Orioles are one of the top 5 teams in baseball this year or any year in the next 5.

It's not hard to see someone outbid the Orioles on Burnes. But if I was him, I would have to think about whether taking 200 mil instead of 150 mil is worth it when you are feeling right at home in Camden Yards and you have a chance to compete for a WS every year for the next five years.

$288M per the estimate in a column I read yesterday.

Atlanta score four unanswered in the late innings to tie Tampa Bay.

Whatever happened to the Rays? They won 99 games last year. They just fell off a cliff this year.

Most of their rotation is out with TJS and every hitter they had last season had near career years and they aren't hitting like they did last year.

They are helped beating up the Marlins and the Mets.

Maybe so. But they are very good nonetheless. But this weekend we have been better!

As I said all weekend, (and I know they are missing two really good position players at C and SS), they are only better in the bullpen. Well, with the Bradish injury, the rotation too now, until we had someone.

      Soto has been fine since his first couple appearances and appears to be picking up steam. That makes seven. Problem is Cano has been the most reliable and all of a sudden looked terrible twice in a row. Hopefully he can get in one decent appearance in the final series.

      So It's 13 pitchers for the Wild card round? What position player are you dropping?

      There have been 2-3 times when it seemed logical to call him up but they don’t.   I’ve never understood this thing they have for Baker.  Hey, Cole Irvin is available again!!

      While we lost some talented players, I think the consensus was some of the players we lost were actually blocking more talented prospects. The loss of Westburg and Urias should have been mostly offset by Holliday and Mayo. Instead, they were truly abysmal.  Povich had some nice moments but he was disappointing as well.  Maybe our expectations were too high - Elias is not going to hit on every prospect, and even the ones that turn out good may take a while to adjust. Still, I think it is fair to have expected more out of Mayo and Holliday since the organization deemed them ready to promote.  In addition to the prospects, you had Adley hit a wall, going from a 6 WAR pace to replacement level, and Cowser and O'Hearn both struggling.  Certainly injuries hurt us, but we should have been strong enough to overcome them. Maybe not to sustain a 105 win pace but I think it is fair to say we should have been able to beat 95 wins and win the division even with the injuries.

      I was wondering what the knee-jerk reaction would be to an ugly game last night, but the truth is that the bullpen is fine, as is the rest of the team. We lack a true lockdown closer, but we have six arms by my count that are very good relievers in Akin, Perez, Coulombe, Webb, Cano, and Domingez. And you can add Suarez to that list next week, and possibly Povich, who should also make the PS roster as a lefty long relief option to mirror Suarez. Anyway, that game could have and would have gone much differently, IMO, if it were a playoff game. Burnes obviously stays in longer and gets at least through the top of the order if not back down to the bottom third to hand it over to the bullpen. Hopefully we'd be able to scratch out some runs, but that's not the bullpen's fault.  This is an extremely good team with a lead. Let's hope we get on the board early and often starting tonight.

      Boy, Brandon Young who has some decent numbers at Norfolk must be injured or unimpressive to the front office to not even get a look for this bullpen. Bryan Baker is almost a waste of a call up.
