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.

Houston only two back from Seattle. They were like 10 back not long ago.

Having seen them recently and then looking at Seattle, that's not hard to believe.  Houston still has some great talent...Seattle can't score.  They have some good pitching but their offense is as strong as wet toilet paper.

Congratulations to Oakland's Joey Estes for his complete game shutout tonight.  You don't see too many of those nowadays.

I can feel even better about congratulating the young man, knowing that the Orioles won't have to face him in this weekend's series.

Think he'd take 10 years 20M (2M AAV) dollars to stick around?

I think so.  Kinda like what Kevin was saying, he's come a long way from being DFA'd last year and picked up by us.  2/20 is probably more than he'd ever thought he'd make when he was scuffling for the Royals a couple years ago.

He's under control next year, should get a nice raise. I'm glad we have him. Might be the easiest Oriole to root for.

GEOFF ARNOLD?!?!? I wasn't paying attention.  I thought I missed a Kevin Brown broadcast...

Kevin has to hit the stage at Key Arena with Blink 183, the Blink 182 cover band.

So many GMs must have been drooling over who Houston might let go of at the deadline, now having to accept that  they're yet another team competing for the few available pitchers.

Were there any strange noises (beating of a garbage container) during those 14 pitches?

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By CTBear · Posted

      I’m still so annoyed anytime Bradish and Means’ injuries get mentioned as a reason for needing SPs. We’ve known since before Spring Training those dudes weren’t making it a full season. The amount of advanced imaging and tests done on these players, they knew we couldn’t count on them this year and still didn’t bolster the rotation. I think Wells was a surprise and the ownership change may have interfered a bit but I just don’t want Bradish and Means being an excuse for why our rotation is so suddenly depleted.

      I'm also really getting on the "move Holliday to the OF train" lately. So many good-ish infielders have made very successful transitions to the outfield over the years. Craig Biggio, Alfonso Soriano, Alex Gordon, and Chipper Jones all come to mind, not that their stories matter to J-Ho's situation. But I want to get him and Mayo into the lineup ASAP. I'm okay to drop Urias at this point, I think, and Cowser probably needs to find his stroke again in Norfolk.  Unfortunately, I don't think there's much pitching relief in the organization. The injuries to Bradish, Wells, and Means have been pretty devastating. Cole Irvin turning into a pumpkin, while predictable, also hurts pretty badly. It's going to be hard to win this division with Burns, Grayson, and Jeckyl/Hyde as our top 3 starters. Plus, now it seems like we can no longer write off Boston.

      Yea that’s where I think it’s bs. That said, you never know how teams view the rest of our guys and you do wonder if the Os rep of drafting and developing makes our prospects “worth more”.

      I don't buy this. Not ANY starter, they couldn't get Crochet that way or if Skubal became available.

      I feel like this is the operative point. The O’s didn’t just put more into picking pitchers last year, they went pretty heavy with it. I feel like they understand what Tony is saying and have already started to adjust. I hope so. We have all been lamenting the fact that the Orioles have not spent high draft capital on pitching. I honestly wish they did so instead of drafting Bradfield last year. I also hope their top two pics this year are pitchers. From a roster management perspective, I think it will be easier to find solid players to round out our positional group then it will be to find good pitchers for our staff. I think we need to draft those.

      Not trying to pick on you, but what does the major league team's ERAs have to do with pitching development? How many Orioles pitchers were drafted and developed by the Orioles on their current staff? Zero. No one is holding anything against Fruit, just pointing out facts. Just like the fact that despite all his development, he's having a hard time getting High-A right-handed hitters out consistently. Now, maybe he'll continue to develop and maybe he'll end up guy, as Orioles fans, we sure hope so, but I think if you are going to tout a guy to show off your development system, maybe not pointing out a 24-year old in High-A ball who's stats or stuff really don't scream out, "Wow!" I've watched Fruit pitch a few times and came away not very impressed. Now guys do improve and I'd never call anyone who can touch high-90s a non prospect when they're 24-years old, but I think there's still a long road ahead.  Again, I'm not rooting against the guy at all.

      I understand the Lenny Webster pun (not bad), but who exactly would be an upgrade over Mcann( who is a backup catcher)  other than grinding Rush into the ground. Mcann is no more this teams problem , than Caleb Joseph a problem for the teams he was backup to Matt Wieters. Historically if your looking for Offense youre not going to find it from a backup catcher. If they play him less which they will eventually do, then they have to grind on Adley. Aint shit for free.
