Are you folks excited with what you are seeing with Holliday? I sure am...

Surprised Perez didn't take his hat off to catch that.

Come on people, drop this "8 ERA" crap.   The ERA of someone who has 3.1 major league innings means absolutely nothing. There's plenty of stuff to gripe about the way the Orioles are playing, but

Not being negative but that’s another defensive play this Orioles team is not making. They’ve made 2 great plays by Ramirez and one double play so far.

They have the best gloves of any team I have seen.

ESPN Gamecast said Mountcastle grounded into DP, then changed it to line out to second. Can anyone explain to those not watching?

He lined out to second.

It was close to being a trap but it was clearly in the fielder's glove.   Mounty knew he was out and wasn't running to 1st, and I think the SS was worried that maybe the ump had ruled it a trap so he threw to first just in case.   But that was never the case.  So the throw to first did nothing.

The announcers were too busy yakking with CC to go into much detail about what happened.

Thanks, that makes sense.

Cleveland is so solid. They don't give you anything, gotta beat them. 

Yep, they are a really good team.  If we could split a 4 game series on the road against the team with the best record in MLB, I would take it and be pretty happy about it, especially having come into the series having won 4 of 5.

To me the only question is whether their starting pitching will still be good in October.   Will LIvely, Bibee, and Stone hold up to facing guys like Burnes, Cole, Gilbert, or Ragans?

But offensively, defensively, and bullpen they are one heck of a baseball team.

      We're going to be okay.

      Holliday replacing Mateo has been a downgrade as well. Offensively and defensively. Just reality.  We miss those two RH bats and their defense.

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      The Os haven’t had guys hitting on all cylinders at the same time in a while. We know about Adley’s struggles but Santander, while he has hit some homers, is hitting 212 with a 289 OBP since Aug 1. O’Hearn has a 631 OPS since Aug 1. Adley, OHearn and Santander are basically out machines right now. You also take away the injured guys and factor in the struggles of Holliday (playing everyday) and playing the guys we have to play and it’s no wonder the team is struggling. Right now, I think you the top 2 hitters in the lineup should be Gunnar and Mullins. Slater can be the second hitter vs lefties. After that, you don’t have anyone that stands out. Cowser is inconsistent and could lose ROY to Wells if he doesn’t pick it back up. And we have no idea what we are going to get from anyone else right now.    But I would at least have the table setters at the top of the lineup and just see how things go.

      Mounty, Urias, Westburg and Kjerstad. That’s a lot more than you are saying especially since you are playing guys more often than you should (see OHearn), you are playing too many bad players because you don’t have anything else and you are also trying to play rookies at a time where they are learning but are being thrusted into more everyday roles. And that’s also assuming Adley is healthy. So basically, you have multiple “easy outs” in the lineup every game. Your lineup doesn’t have length. You have guys who are tired because they are playing so often.

      If they need up playing KC it will feel like it. The bats obviously won’t hit, Witt will kill us and the whole team will run circles on our pitchers and Adley on the base paths

      Agreed- the only way for the offense to soar its time for these guys to start producing like they did in the minors/like they have been drafted and hyped to do. I know thats easier said than done, but over the past 5 years no team in baseball has had more prospect position player talent than the O's come up through the pipeline than the O's and its not really close. You cant expect every prospect to stick, but- Gunnar, Adley, Westburg, Cowser, Holliday, Mayo, Kjerstad, Ortiz, Hernaiz, Norby, Stowers. Thats an absurd about of talent to all make their debuts from 2022-2024.
