I believe it was illegal to pinch hit for Eloy the first time through the order. The Earl Weaver Rule. Around 1980-82 time frame, Earl often had a platoon at DH.   Crowley or Dwyer from the

If he can't perform because of crying babies then he should be sleeping in a hotel the night before his start at the very least.  He's supposed to be an ace on a team fighting for a pennant and h

Burnes just not good tonight.Period. Likely wont finish 5...

Corbin Burnes smelling a Win now.

I was surprised to hear on the pregame his 12 wins match his career high, and he could set a new personal best tonight.

Channel all that rage about Adley's back, the cleat cleaner, and the home plate ump screwing up his strikeout of Duran starting the game for about 45 minutes.

I think somewhere is Korea.

Nah, someone will take a chance on him and he will be healthy for a year. He reeks of a guy that will sign a small deal and have one big year.  I think it will probably only be one, but it will happen.

No offense to Matt but who cares?

If he was the youngest ever to hit a triple, that would be Tweet worthy, which is a pretty low bar.

I’m guessing it’s a nice comparison of young stars who joined the team.

If Burnes can only go 4, pitch count already at 67, who's the long man for the O's?

Baker and Akin are rested.   And one of them is likely to be goign to the minors tomorrow to make room for Povich, so there is no concern about keeping their outing short enough to make sure they can pitch tomorrow or Sunday.

      Of course I’ll be watching. Filled with dread in all likelihood. As will most of us.  LOL.

      Very interesting to read through this. Full of optimism…those were good times. Turns out I voted 91-94. Such pessimism…grrr…and even that was too little. Several of the posters should run out and buy lottery tickets because they are definitely prescient.

      With Urias and Westburg back in the lineup...

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      During all the hullabaloo about the team floundering, way too little was said about fundamental baseball judgement and defense. In a game a couple days ago, a guy came up to bat with runners on. This guy is all speed and defense, with no power, and bunted for a single. The radio guys pointed out that with a bunt threat at the plate, the defense moves in to anticipate the bunt, but this wasn’t done. He barely beat out the throw. Even two steps in from the defense would have been the difference. Little flubs like that happen CONSTANTLY, and don’t count as errors, but good teams avoid them without even thinking. The OF collision two days ago. Why did that happen? It shouldn’t have, and wouldn’t have with a good team, yet we’ve had at least three, two of which resulted in serious injury. Westburg and Urias are both solid players with solid fundamentals. Even if they don’t blaze away at the plate, they haven’t forgotten their defense, and we can hope that will be enough to get us to 90 wins.

      I was just reading my unread posts in the thread, and didn’t notice that your post was a week old.   And I don’t consider that I called you out.  The post sort of read like the outcome of the playoffs was so certain that there was no point in watching, so I was ribbing you about it.  Nothing personal intended. I have a feeling you’ll be watching!

      I was expecting Boston to be last and NY to be fourth…I never expected the Jays to be as bad as they’ve been, and the Rays are always good.

      Fewer than 3% of our posters thought the O’s would win under 90 games this year.  They can still win 90, but it will take a 4-3 finish or better to do it.
