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.

Both teams were probably due for a correction.

I'd be terribly upset about this.

I wonder who would win a “the sky is falling” contest between us and pinstripe alley?

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.

      I don't see anyone doing it better. Find me a better season and a half stretch with a lower payroll wrt to competition in the last 5 years. And as noted, the arrow still points upwards.

      By Warehouse · Posted

      I’d certainly trade Holiday for, say, Skenes and Bednar, but it’s tough to find a match with the big three that works for both sides.  Like I’d probably do Basallo for Skubal, but I’d doubt that would be enough for Detroit and I wouldn’t want to add in another top 100 type of guy. In my mind, Urias, Stowers and Norby are the spare parts where we need to find a way to get value for them this July.

      We can keep going back to 2019 if you want?  😉 The O's aren't the only ones doing more with less, they aren't the only ones that are competent.

      Jackson Holliday gets us the most back in a trade, while the performance of Westburg and Henderson in Baltimore, and Mayo in Norfolk, means trading him away probably wouldn't leave a big hole in our future. Would JH get us Skubal from the Tigers? If so you'd have to seriously consider it.

      The same Cleveland that is equal with us on games now (52-30 vs our 53-31) and was 25 GB of us last season?  We're only 25 games better than them in that sample. If they close that over the next 3-4 years I'll eat my words.   Given the level of talent in our organization, I'd be surprised if they close it at all.  What's for sure, is if you talk about the last season and a half of baseball, no organization has done better compared to payroll than this one. And the arrow points up in terms of trajectory, when you still have the no. 1 farm system in baseball.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By RZNJ · Posted

      I’d say that Ortiz and Hall was fair for one year of Burnes.  Those are two, top 10 Oriole, and top 100 type prospects.   Doesn’t matter that Getz got for Cease before ST, after we got Burnes, and he took the best deal out there.   There are going to be multiple teams in on Crochet.   The Dodgers already made an offer.   Crochet is an elite, albeit risky, acquisition.   However, from the WS perspective it makes no sense to trade him a deal headlined by Norby.   Norby is a second piece and Arias is a third.   You just left out the main piece.      The WS need to do better than that. P.S.  We kept talking about Cease and not paying for the 2022 Cease.   Crochet is better than the 2022 Cease.   You just don’t know what you can expect regarding his workload in the second half.
