How can you not love O'Hearn?  I hope he gets that all-star spot.

2 games up on the Yankees. Keep grinding boys, just like last year walking Tampa down. Don't look back.

Love that dude.  I hope he's around for awhile.  Steady presence in the lineup, great guy.  Truly thankful for the opportunity here and he's made the most of it.

I will say it out loud.  Burnes, Grod, Kremer, Povich, and Suarez can be a decent rotation the rest of the way.  Get me two more bullpen arms and this team can compete in the post season with anyone.  

I'm not really convinced by Povich and Suarez. Povich is too new and Suarez is too much of a veteran - both of them have the potential to be flukes and fall apart. The top 3 are more known quantities and more likely to be good if they stay healthy.

Then again, SP health has been a major issue this year, so I'd still go get a starter. Who's to say Povich doesn't have a great season but needs Tommy John before the end of the season? We can never have too many SP.

Povich and Suarez have a high chance of hitting a wall at some point, and there is always the risk of injury to anyone at any time. I think we need a starter no matter how the current group is doing.

This change seems dumb to me.   We have 4 innings to navigate and used 3 relievers yesterday.  

Yeah, I was hoping for 3 innings from Akin. We should have a couple of guys who can pitch multiple innings, and Akin is a former starter.

Where would this bullpen be without Jacob Webb? I just hope he has enough in him to continue to be effective through November.

We are definitely going to need reinforcements by the trade deadline because I dread to think what would happen if the bullpen suffered another injury. We need a guy like Jacob Webb to be healthy.

i've always liked this logo a lot even though the team gave us some bad memories in '82...

 

Brewers logos through time: Barrelman, ball-in-glove ...

It’s amazing.  The M & b as a glove are awesome.  Big fan of the logo.

      Playoff closer

      By Grt 2BA FL Gator · Posted

      I would be OK with this and it’s what Hyde was doing with Kimbrel in a way too. We’ve got guys that can match up, let’s try to take advantage.

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      By accinfo · Posted

      A 90 win season with Grayson missing at least 10 starts, Means and Bradish missing at least 20 each.  Throw in Tyler Wells missing most of the season and other injuries I think this team and its management has done well.  If just a little more healthy they could have had back to back 100 win seasons.  I am glad we have Mike Elias and Brandon Hyde leading this team.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Some interesting things of note from https://www.samford.edu/sports-analytics/fans/2023/Sabermetrics-101-Understanding-the-Calculation-of-WAR. I pulled out the relevant areas: Fangraphs allocates 570 WAR for position players and 430 WAR for pitchers, while Baseball-Reference allocates 590 WAR for position players and 410 WAR for pitchers The major difference between fWAR and bWAR comes from the measurement of fielding runs, which is the defensive output a player provides. Fangraphs uses a statistic called Ultimate Zone Rating (UZR), while Baseball-Reference uses a statistics called Defensive Runs Saved (DRS). The differences in these stats can lead to drastically different calculations in WAR for some position players. UZR takes into account 3 years of players’ data as well as MLB data to determine these percentages, whereas DRS uses essentially 1 year of data. Therefore, some rookies will have drastically different UZR and DRS stats. As opposed to positional players, Fangraphs and Baseball-Reference take drastically different steps in calculating the WAR of pitchers. It does not follow the formula for position players but does try to calculate the “wins” that a pitcher gives to their team. Instead, they use a “base” statistic to help calculate WAR. Fangraphs uses FIP, or fielding independent pitching, as its base for calculating pitchers' WAR, whereas Baseball-Reference focuses on Runs Allowed per 9 innings (RA9) for its base I think the main takeaway for Gil, bWAR likes him more than FanGraphs probably because FG aims to take the defensive element out of the calculation by centering on FIP. And if we look at FIP, his is close to 4. But Baseball Reference is using RA9 which does have a defensive element inherently calculated. As for Cowser, I reckon FG likes him more than BBRef particularly on the defensive metric side of things. Maybe BBRef is harsher on the DRS side than FG is on the UZR side. To me, I like FG for pitchers far more than BBRef. For position players, I’d give the nod to FG but mainly because I think DRS can have some wide swings where UZR has a tendency to be more centered.

      Climbing the list of most O’s wins in two consecutive seasons

      By Frobby · Posted

      The win tonight in game 161 allowed the 2023-24 Orioles to reach 191 wins, tied with the 1964-65 and 1965-66 teams for the 7th most wins in consecutive seasons.  With a win tomorrow, they could move up to a tie for 5th. Tonight’s win also gave the O’s 275 wins over the last 3 seasons, tied for 11th with the 1975-77 and 1976-78 O’s.  They could move into a tie for 10th with a win tomorrow.
