We played poorly?  Nah, we won. The previous 5 games were just a rough turn through considering the Yankees, Astros, and Clev, are the other three best teams in the MLB. 

Notice how during our 5 game losing streak that nobody mentioned closer or Mason Miller?  That goes to show you that a closer doesn’t matter if there is no lead to protect.  

Astros are washed up. We had no business getting dominated by them. Basically a trap series.

On a 11 day vacation to California. Hitting up the Cubs - Giants game tomorrow in San Fran before heading down the coast to LA. Will feel better about wearing my O’s stuff now without a losing streak. Anyone ever been to the stadium here?

I've been to Dodger Stadium many times if you have questions.  I've never been to a game in San Fran.

Houston is 33-21 since resetting its season in Mexico on April 27. Only two American League teams have better records across that span: the Cleveland Guardians and New York Yankees. The Astros have trimmed their AL West deficit to 4 1/2 games and were three back of the final AL wild-card spot heading into Wednesday night’s games.

Pathetic indeed..From 10 back to 4.5

I'm so jealous. My brother lives in SF two blocks away from Golden Gate Park, and one block away from the N Judah line that pretty much takes him all the way to the ballpark. I visit him once a year and somehow have never been to a game.

They've won 7 in a row easily have the best run differential in the scrubby AL West.  Plus our pitching staff isn't the same without Bradish and Coulombe.  Even if they're just on a hot streak the Astros exposed our lack of depth.  In that lackluster division they could easily make the playoffs and make things tough for any team.

Toronto up 8-1, hate rooting for the Jays. They blew a 5 run lead last night and got destroyed. No matter the results, the Yankees pitching has regressed badly.

I think, in the AL, I root against the Jays second most of any team but I’m a big fan when they play the Yankees.

The last three runs scored on a double by Guerrero, who smacked a pitch down the LF line that couln't have been more than a foot off the ground. 

Alejandro Kirk drove in a run earlier. I was disappointed to see that Kirk's image on Gameday is the same as every other RHed hitter's -- thought they might have a special one for him. 😉

I'll check the 3D view if he bats again lol.

There wasn't a 5 run lead. They were up 3-1 before giving up a 6 spot in the 6th.

    • It’s easier to say who I wouldn’t trade.
    • This seems like a good day for a general DSL check-in. The DSL Orioles Orange team lost today but is 14-7 overall.   Going into today's play, they were in first place in the DSL Northwest Division and had the 5th best record of any DSL team.  They were 15th of 51 DSL team at 6.20 runs per game, and 14th in fewest runs allowed per game at 4.80.   So, nicely above average in both respects.    DSL Orioles Black won today to raise their record to 8-12.   They are a micron ahead of Orange at 6.21 runs per game (14th in the DSL), but they have allowed the second most runs per game of any DSL team, at 7.79. The top hitters for Orange through today's play are: RF/CF/LFJordan Sanchez (18), .386/.470/.757, 5 HR, 21 RBI ($400-450 k signing in late 2023) SS/2B/3B Luis Guevara (18), .340/.500/.434, 0 HR, 9 RBI ($200 k  bonus in 2023; repeating the DSL after an .824 P OPS season last year) C/1B Ariander Mejia (17), .316/.409/.456, 1 HR, 13 RBI (repeating the DSL after posting a .716 OPS at age 16) CF Stiven Martinez (16), .298/.411/.426, 0 HR, 8 RBI ($950 k bonus 2024). LF/RF Angel Garcia (17), .226/.373/.434, 2 HR, 17 RBI (240 k bonus 2024). Emilio Sanchez (17), .263/.440/.281, 0 HR, 2 RBI ($1.3 mm bonus 2024) The top Orange pitchers for now are: Keefer Morfe (18), 4 GS, 12.0 IP, 0.75 ERA, 1.000 WHIP, 15.0 K/9, 5.0 K/BB ($210 k bonus in 2023; repeating after posting a 7.01 ERA last year) Juan Rasquin (18), 4 G, 3 GS, 11.2 IP, 0.77 ERA, 1.200 WHIP, 12.3 K/9, 1.6 K/BB (repeating after throwing to a 5.14 ERA last year) Henry Tejada (19), 6 G, 13.0 IP, 0.69 ERA, 1.000 WHIP, 8.3 K/9, 2.0 K/BB (missed last season but threw to a 2.10 ERA in his age 17 season). Jeyderson Mora (19), 4 GS, 14.1 IP, 2.51 ERA, 1.256 WHIP, 8.2 K/9, 1.4 K/BB (repeating after throwing 5 IP to a 1.80 ERA last year). Luis Espinoza (17), 4 GS, 15.1 IP, 4.11 ERA, 1.435 WHIP, 7.6 K/9, 2.2 K/BB  For Black, the top hitters are: SS/3B Elvin Garcia (17), .370/.507/.611, 0 HR, 16 RBI ($500 k bonus 2024) 2B/1B Jose Mejia (18), .286/.430/.460, 2 HR, 12 RBI ($410 k bonus in 2023; repeating the DSL after an .885 season in limited action) 1B/3B/2B Felix Amparo (18), .320/.443/.440, 1 HR, 15 RBI ($350 k bonus in 2023; repeating the DSL after a .628 OPS season last year) C Juan Ortega (18), .256/.473/.359, 1 HR, 5 RBI (repeating the DSL after a .790 OPS season in limited action) It's slim pickings among the Black pitchers for now, but they do have: Esteban Luna (17), 4 GS, 14.0 IP, 0.64 ERA, 1.143 WHIP, 10.9 K/9, 2.4 K/BB Andy Fabian (21), 4 GS, 14.2 IP, 2.45 ERA, 1.295 WHIP, 13.5 K/9, 3.7 K/BB Esteban Mejia (17), 4 GS, 10.2 IP, 3.38 ERA, 1.219 WHIP, 12.7 K/9, 3.0 K/BB ($140 k bonus 2024) I put in signing bonus info that I could find easily.   There may be more info available.  
    • Well the first step is to trade Mayo for whatever we can get. 
    • I know none of us has any say in the matter, but for the conversation, who would you be okay moving for SP pitching and bullpen arms. I'll list these selections as "obvious" "tough deciosn" or "daring"   1. OBVIOUS: See if you can get any value in a trade for Urias, and maybe Hays..(depends on the yield) 2. TOUGH DECISION : I'd be willing to move one or two of...Mateo, Stowers, Norby, Mullins, and maybe another low level prospect for a solid #3 starter or two good pen arms (assuming they have some contract control 3. DARING: Might consider moving Mountcastle or OHearn, even fan favorite Cowser.No way do I move or even consider moving Mayo, Holliday, Basallo, or of course Kjerstad   Your move.
    • I almost think Crochet should get his own thread as he’s monopolized this trade deadline thread.    my .02 cents. I doubt Elias will pay the price it will take to get him. He’s proven repeatedly he’s pretty conservative when it comes to trades and will not pay the overpay Getz has shown he wants for his players.
    • I don't know much about the Padres' market. Those other teams have much higher revenues than the Orioles, enabling them to bid higher. Sure, at any time some of them will  be limited or even disabled by existing payroll obligations, luxury tax concerns, or an unwillingness to spend because they don't think they're competitive. But all of them? The Dodgers are going to tell their fans that they really wanted to sign X to lead their pitching staff, but they got edged out by the Orioles? Maybe. I don't know much about the Padres' market. The Cardinals, despite being based in a small city, have two things going for them that give them revenues of a mid- to larger-market  team. (I think comparing revenues over a period of time is a much better way to measure teams' financial wherewithal.)  They are (1) a huge regional market that goes back over a century, with a size and strength that no team other than possibly the Red Sox has been able equal, and (2) the fact that St. Louisans (and people from that area) are crazy about baseball, I believe more so than any other city. St. Louis is a small city, but the Cardinals do not share the characteristics of a small-market team. 
    • I think it was Andy MacPhail who said grow the arms and buy the bats.  The O's had some bad luck with that strategy when guys like Adam Loewen and Hayden Penn were derailed by injury.  Obviously others just never panned out.   But I'm thinking they never took the strategy to its potential when they chose not to target and develop players from the Caribbean countries -- pitchers or position players.  Not to say that strategy definitely would have worked out if they had a greater presence in the Caribbean then, but they must have missed out on many promising arms.
