A lot of AL relievers fit that description! 🙂

What about the 5 earned runs in 1/3 of an inning he provided two days ago, including the Santander grand slam? Not easy to find an AL reliever that matches that description.

Gunnar took his time on that throw planted and stepped into it.  It almost appears that he has been receiving some coaching and taking it to heart.

Every team needs an Altuve type.  He's a Hall of Famer.  The Dodgers have one too named Mookie Betts.

Devers, J. Ramirez, Soto, Betts, Freeman.  There is more than one of these types of guys. Yes they are expensive and I am not suggesting we get one.  I am more hoping one of our guys, turn into this.  I was hoping it would be Holliday, but his hit tool isn’t yet what it was advertised as

They are missing their two best hitters. 

Right, but we're missing 80% of our starters, our three best relievers, plus Westburg, Kjerstad, and Mateo and for the time being Mounty and Mullins.  Holliday isn't quite there yet, and our three top hitters seem tired.  The O's are not as good most of the other contending teams at the moment.

Odds we comeback against Hader? :D

We do have two walks and two hits in 4 career innings against Hader. All we have to do is load the bases--seems to be the recent Orioles Magic formula....

How about Bobby Witt Jr?

Cmon seven straight walks.  That’s the only way it’s happening 

No, all we need is three--the O's hit when the bases are loaded against a tough reliever 😃

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.

      I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again. He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota. I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.
