I love Mounty.  He's been my favorite Oriole the last four years.  I spoke with him a few times in Frederick.  Great kid.  He's become a good defender, runs the bases pretty well, contributes offensively and seems to be loved in the clubhouse.  Watching him chase so many pitches is pretty frustrating though.  The AB below happens every game.  I keep hoping he'll find some discipline but it's not happening.  It'll be interesting to see what Elias does this off season.

He's become a very good defender.  I think we'd all like Mounty to remain an Oriole, but he'll need to tighten plate his discipline and maybe play in the outfield part time too.  Maybe 50% chance best it happens but I'd like to see it happen.

Hyde is the worst. He just accepts this game after game after game. I'm sick of it.

Not sure why anyone is getting on Hyde. It's the 3rd inning. I'd rather he stays around to manage the full game. He's shown frustration with bad strike zones plenty of times this year. He also knows t

Not about reversing the call. The umpire needs to be called out and embarrassed in front of everyone for his incompetence. That’s what Aaron Boone does and it works in his team’s favor. Many Umpires w

When Holliday was getting under that ball I shrieked at the TV.  "You better catch that you lazy ...."   Already getting nervous whenever the ball is hit to Jackson.

      The game is already tied. If he gets thrown out, the O's still have a runner in scoring position and just one out. You really didn't have much to lose by sending him there, with a chance to end the game.

      Yes.  He’s not a great bunter but at least try it once.   Santander was today’s choker.  He’s gotta be able to hit a freaking fly ball there.

      Same exact question Ravens fans ask every season.  No killer instinct.  In the game’s biggest moments, they come up small.  Exactly what you saw today.  Pathetic

      Should we have gone with a suicide or safety squeeze with Mullins? He might be better at bunting than hitting deep fly balls. Just a thought.

      I agree with the second but not the first. If the first fails, that's an extra out. If the second fails then they just get an out at home instead of an out at first, which is not really relevant with Gunnar going to 3rd. For the first case I'd think you need to be like 80% to succeed for it to be right, but for the second like 20%.

      The Sting of Losing Winnable Games

      Bump. Tonight's game wasn't just "winnable" -- it would have been one of the top 2-3 wins of the season. Down 2 in the 9th and we come out single, single, walk, double to tie the game and have two of our fastest runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs, with our 2-3-4 hitters coming up next.  And our guys gagged. They wilted under pressure. They choked.  Again.  This has happened so many times this season that I believe we need to consider the real possibility that the Orioles as currently constructed lack the character, stamina, -- the heart, if you will -- to win games like this. I think these players fail so often because they expect to fail. I remember after we won it all in '83 reporters were interviewing Ken Singleton in the locker room and one of them asked if the Orioles had been lucky. "You make your own luck" he responded. Well, the 2024 Orioles are making their own bad luck over and over again. How does that cycle of failure come to an end? I wish I knew.

      I know the OH hates Holliday, but it's a no brainer keeping him over Soto. We're talking about bench players who are going to, at most, have a small role in a few games. Soto has no pop and is slow. He's a warm body as it is. Holliday's ability to run can be very useful in the playoffs.
