Knock it off with this not trying crap.   You've been spewing it for days.   It's garbage.

Teams that aren't hitting look lie they aren't trying, that's the nature of baseball.   But why wouldn't they be trying to hit?   Their future contracts depend on it.

 No dumber opinion exists in sports than a team that is struggling means they aren’t trying…that they don’t care.

Urias was pulled from the game. You wonder if he will be back tomorrow.

You use the term "was pulled".   That implies that circumstances caused it, and that he was scheduled/planned to play the whole game.   Do you know that for sure?   Just hopeful that maybe they wanted to ease him in, not play too many innings in the field or something.

I don’t know..I just know he didn’t play the whole game and was pulled from the game. Westburg is still playing and just got a hit.

It’s possible they are easing Urias in because he had an ankle issue…or maybe they just wanted him down for one game. 
 

My guess is he plays again tomorrow and is brought up for Saturdays game…Westburg is back for NY series.

    • Let's be honest, Gunnar ain't finishing second either.
    • Yeah, I don't think the Orioles' struggles against NL teams is very meaningful, but I do think the NL is stronger this year.  All the NL division leaders have looked formidable and steady throughout the season.  But also the Padres and Mets have kicked their seasons into another gear and have really impressed over the past couple of months.  Compare them to the Wild Card teams in the AL, and they just appear more formidable on paper.   Also the DBacks are pretty much outhitting everyone right now -- though that's been offset by their not so effective pitching.  
    • For sure he is out of consideration as the MVP favorite to copy Cal.  Of course,  Cal didn't have an Aaron Judge to compete with.  The runner-up in MVP voting in 1983 was a guy named Eddie Murray.  Eddie had more HR, more RBI, a higher slugging and OPS than Cal, but Cal had a higher WAR and batting average (.318 to .303).  I wonder if Eddie is bitter about losing the MVP to Cal?  A case could be made for either one. 
    • Going to lookup splits before/after AS break for 2024, but my gut tells me the O’s faltered against the NL Central division the last two years. Let’s see how October plays out!
    • I've heard folks I trust a lot here report on him as being good but on a gut level those plays bugged me too. I think Holliday is sufficient alone as a 5th infielder as a playoff roster gets configured, and believe in series you get injury replacements if Urias re-rolls the ankle or Gunnar breaks somebody else's arm.    Rivera and Soto are kind of both about that speed. From comments we know Urias, Westburg, Mountcastle the probable return order, but TBD on the Rivera, Soto, Eloy departures.    I think there's some value to Coby Mayo staying around even if he just watches ala '70 Grich "did not play in series".
    • He missed a cycle by inches on one of the doubles.
