If the defense had been clean, we would be winning, and fewer people would be complaining about Burnes. Man, defense is my thing and Orioles defense is bad. It may not be bad, but it’s very inconsistent which is the same thing.

You really haven't been watching the game if you think that.

I am 50/50 on Adley just because his value declines heavily if he cannot catch. Gunnar on the other hand would have teams in a line waiting to give him one of the biggest contracts in baseball history. I think he just needs to get out of his head.

Probably so..but I think it could end up being a mistake. I don’t think he’s even on the Machado level. He’s faster than Manny but that’s about it. Manny was elite on defense as well.

Gunnar will be a better player than Manny if he stays healthy.  He is 23 years old in his second year.

He only gave up 5 hits and walked none.  He gave up a homer to Ohtani and threw an awful pitch to Hernandez.  He still has to get out of the 3rd inning and get a big out in that situation which he hasn’t been able to do lately.

Down two runs in the 7th is over? This ain’t fucking soccer, thankfully.

Based on the lack of late inning comebacks and Dodgers BP.. it’s more than likely over but yeah, thankfully it’s not soccer.

O’Hearn is hot? He has a 500 OPS the last 7 games. He seems to be treading water with the one skill he has.

He had a HR last night and a double tonight.  That makes him a white hot hitter on this team

He won a Cy Young.  He led the AL in ERA at one point near the ASB.  He was definitely regarded as a top 10 pitcher in the game at the beginning of the year.  To say the Burnes has never been an ace is just foolish.

You may want to read it again. I was replying to a previous post. I didn't say he was never an ace in his career. I said he was never really an ace this year. He was the best starter on the Orioles for a while. That's not the same as an ace, in my book. No shutouts, not even one. Prone to the HR. Low K's. And so on.

      Elias…DFA Kimbrel now!!

      I think yesterday was the nail in the coffin for him being on the playoff roster, assuming we make it.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By NashLumber · Posted

      I feel that way, too. I keep thinking about 2005.  2005: 10 games over .500 on June 20th. 1st place, two games up.  Shortly after they went on a 2-16 skid, and their last game at .500 was at the the start of that awful home 4 game series in late July when the White Sox swept them, and Raffy was exposed as taking PEDs. They fell under .500 that series and kept on sinking.  2024: 24 games over .500 on June 20th. 2nd place, a half game back.  Then immediately lose five straight. Due to their great start, they can't finish 14 under .500, but the dive feels eerily similar with all of the injuries, dormant bats, and all happening at the same time of year.  The floor coming out from underneath them feels a lot like it. That team was cooked by late July and by the first week of August, Mazzilli got the axe. That won't happen with Hyde this time, as they had a fine start this year, but this can't happen two years in a row under him.

      I know …. Gotcha. Trade away Stowers & Norby for Garbage and pick up Rivera & Jiminez. And be surprised when you offense stinks.

      It’s because the strategies that they are taught and employ work much better in the minors with pitchers with worse stuff and command than in the majors.  This, in turn, inflates their minor league stats.  The good news is that thus far after an adjustment period those players do seem to adjust and do well.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By SilverRocket · Posted

      This was the lineup today: The problem is injuries. Hyde didn't have to run out this sort of lineup in May or June. You can nitpick about whether these were the right nine to start, but these are the players on the roster right now and it's because guys who were here in the winning months are not available.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By Flightless · Posted

      I think you agree Roy. The injuries are one thing, but combining them with the continual influx of rookies/ near-rookies - (as promising as they may be) creates instability.  Holliday, Cowser, Mayo, Norby, Kjerstad, Povich, even Stowers.  The past two years: Rutschman and Henderson. One rookie, a solid unremarkable, yet reliable core that had been playing together for several years. Maybe Elias needs to answer for this. I’m not buying the injury excuse for position players. The pitching - amazing job for the injury plague (Kimbrel not included). Have to wonder if these injuries have something to do with the training staff don’t you?
