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.

      Who goes when Kremer comes up?

      By interloper · Posted

      It's been disappointing how Dean has pitched in his rehab starts, but sometimes you gotta give a guy the benefit of the doubt and just assume he turns it back on when he's back up here. I think he's earned that, and I'm not even the biggest Kremer guy.  I say call him up, chuck Irvin in the pen, and go from there.

      Kremer can stay at Norfolk for the rest of the year if that is what Elias thinks is best for the team.   His rehab can go until July 15th.   And he can be optioned to Norfolk if that is the right thing to do. The question in front of Elias is:   Is Kremer ready to be a better starter than Irvin?

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      Which is why it’s not getting done. You are willing to overlook the warts. I doubt Elias would ….. look at the Cease deal. They got Thorpe #4 (#64 of the top 100), a RP that has a 3 era so far this year, and 2 DSL kids ..one of which was their #7.    So this year that’s Kjerstad/Mayo, Norby , Armbruester, and a DSL Kid. Honestly, you feel Crochet is worth more than Cease? Because that’s what you’d be doing. Based on injury risk abd stuff …I don’t. I’d say Norby, Arias, Nolan Hoffman, and a 20 year old DSL player is more than fair

      Grow the Bats? Grow the Arms? Both? Neither?

      I don't have any doubt this team can, too. But they haven't given themselves much opportunity from a numbers standpoint.  That said, I think this is the first year we're really seeing some guys developing from the last few drafts. Plenty of interesting guys, but they're all pretty much below the AAA level.  Re: the OP, the GM was Andy MacPhail and his head and heart were in the right place, but ultimately we can see now that was kind of a flawed premise. Position players stay healthier, they have less variance and risk, and they play every day. It just makes sense to make them a majority of your draft.

      Spencer Watkins coming back?

      By Philip · Posted

      The write up at MLB Traderumors said he was going to the KBO but remained in the US because his wife was expecting. Now the baby is here, maybe he reconsiders the KBO as a great way to get away from 2 AM feedings.

      I just don’t know why this horse keeps getting beat to death.    Yes, the Orioles are fairly adept at drafting position players and bats.    I’m hoping they’ll buy some pitching soon. Regardless, this is one of the top teams and the top front offices in the game. That doesn’t excuse that they haven’t done a bang up job on drafting and developing pitching but it’s clear that they know what they’re doing.
