ABC off to a terrible start entertainment wise for Tigers-Astros - aggravating Yankees voice Michael Kay has taken a gig as the play-by-play man.

I'll take the trade of him beating Kevin Brown for this kind of national gig if Kevin's team can win on the field. I think I heard on the MASN preview Ben McDonald is with ESPN in some capacity f

The janks were also gifted 2 runs in the 5th thanks to the home plate ump. I’m so tired of the janks having the smallest strike zone when they bat in all of baseball. Between that and the expanded WC

Which failed starter with a 6.50 ERA this year will be one of baseball's best relievers next year?

Mike Elias, don't let Brian Cashman beat you to that guy again this winter please.

Surely not Cease.  He has been awful in playoffs last few starts.

Detroit has been so much fun to watch. They have Skubal and literally 11 completely interchangeable pitchers who Hinch uses at any time and in any situation. They all can start games, throw in middle relief, and close. Every Tigers pitcher has to be ready to come in at any time because nobody other than Skubal actually has a defined role, which can certainly help keep them focused.  That guy Holton who started Game 1 in Cleveland closed Game 3 yesterday.  Of course he did! And Hinch seems to have complete faith in everybody, which I guess works since they all seem to have rubber arms and never get tired.

It must be so annoying as an opposing manager to try and game plan against them or to be a hitter and have absolutely no idea who you are going to be facing until you actually walk up to the plate.  Not sure how long this "gimmick" will last, but it has been really enjoyable.

It looks like Jason Foley, the regular season closer, is almost out of the bullpen rotation.    He and Jackson Jobe are the low guys on the staff with just 0.1 postseason IP so far.

As if it weren't already going to be tough enough for Albert Suarez to find a club with a traditional starter role for him.

Curious how next year plays out for KC and DET. My guess is their pitching staffs have a bunch of injuries. CLE can’t hit. I’ll be surprised if CLE comes back.m

Maybe it’s jealousy but I’m not enjoying it.

I get it. But I don't have anything against Detroit and I am hoping that they can get to the World Series.  On the other side, the Mets have been really fun to watch.  Very clutch and relentless in the late innings.  I really just don't want to see a Yankees Dodgers WS.

      Snell vs Burnes

      I'm kind of with you on this. Everything just feels like a crap shoot.  KC went and bought a bunch of 5th starters last offseason and might mess around and eliminate the top 2 AL East teams.

      Do the Orioles need someone like Machado?

      Lol. It did make me chuckle I admit.

      Do the Orioles Need Players with Postseason Experience?

      By BRobinsonfan · Posted

      With our second season of postseason futility behind us a number of posts have been made about the need for "players with postseason experience" to variously "calm, lead, guide, motivate," the younger players.  I've often suspected that this [postseason experience] is a much-overblown quality to guide our player acquisition efforts.  I realize the postseason, notably the World Series, is a mighty big stage on which to perform, but, between high school, college, and the minors, most of these players have played in some pretty big games under some significant pressure.   I finally ran across a data-driven article that set out to answer this question.  Published in 2002 in The Baseball Research Journal, Tom Hanrahan concludes it doesn't matter:   "Do baseball players fare better in the post-season when they have post-season experience behind them?  My research says the answer is a clear no.  Managers' efforts to build teams with players who 'have been there before' appear to be fruitless ventures, sacrificing money and possibly quality for no apparent gain.'"  What say you?  Is Hanrahan right?  Or is he all wet and the Orioles should go out and hire some wiley veterans who've "been there before" to get them over the hump?   https://sabr.org/journal/article/does-experience-help-in-the-postseason/#:~:text=Do baseball players fare better,quality for no apparent gain.

      I disagree with your conclusion but I'm appropriating this line over the next couple of weeks:  "mega religious Lego playing softie white bread error machines."   🤣

      What is crazy is that Soto won't be 26 for another couple of weeks.  Guy has been an absolute force on offense for 7 seasons already and he is almost a year younger than Adley.  There is always risk tied to the back end of big contracts, but I would hate to constantly pass on players like this just because we are always afraid of the next Chris Davis (who really fell off the cliff in his age 32 season).  I don't think we will be in play for a Soto type player anyhow, and I certainly understand that management has to focus on finances and the budgets. But as a fan, all I care about is winning games and October success. Whether the Os have a payroll of $50 million, $150 million, or $500 million, I really don't care as long as they bring a championship to Baltimore.  Flags fly forever.
