Call me a homer but our lineup is much better against RHP. The good news is, the KC offense looked bad as well. It's not like we lost 7-1 and everyone was raking for them.

Eflin was a stud for us. We won't be held to just a couple of runs today.

At 2 x 16 and 3 x 15 contracts, they feel symbolic of the kind of FA pitchers Elias maybe could baby step to if he accepts a little more risk and isn't content with the 8 guys down to Brandon Young he already has.

That caliber of free agent pitcher isn't going to be on our team today though.

Lugo had a career year, but tapered off in the second half.   He was almost to 5.00 ERA in July/August, but finished nearly as strong as Burnes the AL Pitcher of the Month.    He has a very broad repertoire, but anecdotally we've done pretty well against Chris Bassitt, another craftsman with a bunch of tools.

we better, no team has lost the first game and won these three game series in this format.  I have faith.  Go O's!

That’s not true, right? I’m pretty sure they said that the game 1 winner has won 14 of 16 series. So not likely, but also it’s been done.

Considering 3 of four teams lost at home yesterday it’s a stat likely to be broke this year by a team or two. I file the stat under SSS. It’s nice but not something indicative of what true possibilities are. And I think people forget how hot Ragan was in September to close the season pitching to a 1.08 era

Yes. If you include the 2020 playoffs. 
 

SD lost game 1 to STL and won. OAK lost game 1 to CWS and won.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      Wieters' bWAR was 13.3 through his first 4 seasons (2009 - 2012).  It ended at 18.3 after his last season in 2020, so he was basically ineffective for the last 8 years of his career. Adley's bWAR is 13.1 through his first 3 seasons. So it isn't like Wieters didn't have a strong start to his career just like Adley did.  I think the concern that folks have is that the rest of Adley's career will play out like the rest of Wieters' career.  It seemed very unlikely halfway through this year, but this has been one hell of a drop-off.   And after Wieters never lived up to expectations, it is definitely a fear that we may be reliving this again.  Let's hope this second half was just an aberration.

      Adley has been in a horrible almost 4 month slump. Before that, he was the WAY BETTER offensive player. But I pose this question: What does it matter if Rutschman turns out to be worse than Wieters? Matt Wieters was drafted almost TWENTY YEARS AGO. No one in this org had anything to do with him being on our roster. HEck none of our current front office was even here for his entire Orioles' career.

      I do feel like Adley is out of shape or at least has gotten more out of shape than usual. That’s part of the reason I think he’s hurt…not working out as much. If he is healthy and the slump is this bad, I’m ok questioning whether or not the new GF(ie the distraction) is part of it. Is he putting everything into the game that he should?

      Can they? - Yes it's possible. Anything is possible.  Will they? - I have my doubts. The team was abysmal (minus Cedric Mullins and O'Hearn's pinch hit appearance) with the bat in their hands yesterday. And for many of our hitters this was nothing more than a continuation/carryover from the second half of the season.

      Right now Geronimo Gil is better than Adley.  But I'm not gonna kick Adley while he's down.  Let him get a reset, work on some things in the offseason, and hope that this 2nd half ends up being just an aberration in a good career.

      Which is crazy since they put 7 on the board vs Ragans hitting all singles. They had an approach that worked and then they went away from it.

      It’s what this board does.
