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.

It's like they had all those major pitching injuries last year and lost Franco... and they just kept winning as if nothing had changed.

But then this year it caught up with them.

It's kind of like in the cartoon where the Coyote runs off the cliff but he stays suspended in midair spinning his wheels and doesn't fall to the ground.   Then at some point he realizes that's impossible and he plummets to the ground.   And then sometimes an anvil falls on him.

Yeah, it's like that.

Is that Adley tie-in to PNC Bank's Brilliance is Boring marketing campaign new today?

Our guy starting to filter in some of them there non-baseball revenue streams.

They showed it yesterday.

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 could definitely be back next year when their pitchers come back. Have some good position player prospects.

They lost Wander. Randy sucks.  They lost their top 3 starters last year.

I think new this weekend - they were on yesterday for sure, not sure about Friday.

I just noticed the O's moved past the Phillies into 2nd in team ERA, 3.07 to 3.10.  I'm assuming it doesn't count today's results.  0.13 back of the Yankees.  When's the last time the O's led the majors in ERA?  I'm guessing the 70's.

It's a 3-game series. It was very close for 20+ innings.

So far we are +7 on the scoreboard for the weekend by my count. I didn’t say that they aren’t very good. But this weekend we are/were better!

    • Well I sort of disagree here. You said guys have been bad to questionable. I think that’s wrong. I just think a few guys have been awful and that has really hurt us. I would absolutely give Washington more time. Brade and Kane are well liked but doubtful they want to play them much right now. A trade should be considered if things don’t improve.
    • Yeah, I'd rather keep him over Soto.  I mean Soto can't start.  Yes Soto was dominant at times out of the bullpen but he was also gasoline on a fire out of the bullpen.  I would rather pay Suarez $4 or 5 million, knowing he can start or pitch in the bullpen than Soto, knowing he can only start and is liable to melt down when needed most.  
    • It is funny how much Hays (the pre-2024 version anyway) matches the type of player they'll likely look for. I doubt that reunion happens though. 
    • Weird thing about Suarez is that MASN had this being a 2 year deal when they talked about him back in April. ”The Orioles made another smart move with Suárez by signing him to a two-year contract in September. They knew what they’d ask from him and how it could contradict, and they didn’t want to give him any reasons to resist.” https://www.masnsports.com/blog/another-look-at-how-suarez-came-to-the-orioles
    • Dam the mosquito is in my Jelly. Please go away
    • Elias is refusing to spend money that Rubenstein has made available.  Do you have any sources?
    • Outside Hamilton, I can't really think of any areas or invidivuals outside the line that have really stepped up.  Humphrey and Stephens have played okay but it certainly hasn't offset the complete zeroes that Eddie Jackson and Marcus Williams have been.  I don't think you want to pull Hamilton off SS even though he can handle deep zone assignments fine, because he's essentially a linebacker that can cover wide receivers and there's too much value in that in the box.  And I think that Roquan/Simpson look lost in pass coverage because the safeties behind them are playing like butt.  Besides Roquan wasn't ever really a great coverage safety, he was kind of okay at it but he was never like a Lavonte David or Fred Warner there.   I'm starting to wonder if we need to either trade for a FS and/or start giving Ardarius Washington more snaps.  He certainly doesn't look worse than Jackson/Williams at this point in his limited playing time.  In general i think safety is an undervalued position so we're likely to get good value in trade.
