Does he have a bad rep or something that I don't know about? I mean, Jenks the other day threw behind him and admitted it was intentional. Today, Lackey throws behind him with his first pitch and hits him with his second.

I dunno, I'm not sure. I did hear about those but I think Kinsler hit 2 HR in the game previous so thats why the ump thought they were trying to hit him?? Not sure though

Looked like DT was absolutely giddy when he went out to the mound....

Yes, he did.

Probably happy he has another pitcher he may be able to count on

He's probably been praying hard at night... please, God, please, etc.

It was all DT, he's paranoid or something.

Not sure how you can say that. Two straight hits off Hill and with a righty coming up, why not bring out one of our best relievers to date.

Now if Baez doesn't come out for next inning then I might have a problem with it.

Was Hill starting to look iffy, and I just didn't notice?

Or has DT just become afraid of the 6th inning (with good reason)?

Yeah i thougth Hill was still pitchign fine.

Baez has been a great stopper though, so at least we're seeing him and not one of the terrible relievers we have

I like this move by DT. Tonight's game was a great first start for Hill, and if he gave up the W there I think he'd lose some well-earned confidence. Baez has been great, and seems like he's got a high probability of getting out of the inning (which, go O's!, he just did). Just my opinion.

Because we need Rich Hill to be great. Because he was good. Because there was no way Trembley was pitching him over 90 pitches in his first start. Because Baez was warm. Because there had been two hits albiet cheap ones. Because there was a righthander coming to the plate.

      Why not Chayce McDermott?

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      You cannot bring up McDermott (25 years old) and discuss his one great quality and act like you have no idea why he hasn't been recalled.  One look at his numbers shows you plenty. He has thrown 70.1 IP, making 14 starts. That's 5 IP/start.  3.84 ERA, 1.464 WHIP, 5.5 BB/9, 12.9 K/9.  He has issues walking too many batters.  So, while he strikes out batters at a great rate, he also walks far too many, raising his AAA WHIP to 1.464.  That does not project well to the majors.

      Would the Orioles consider Trevor Bauer ?

      No one’s ever accused me of choking and bludgeoning them unconscious before. At the very best he makes extremely poor decisions about whom to associate with. That’s at the very best.

      When a team loses 4 in a row the GM looks for where to improve. Hays.   .500.  2-4  2B Adley    .462  6-13.  2B Mullins   .417   5-12 2B, 3B Westburg .313  5-16.  3HR Gunnar  .272   3-11  2 HR Santander  .235  4-17 HR O'Hearn      .230   3-13 Mountcastle  .188    3-16 2B Mateo       . 125   1-8    HR McCann    .000   0-3 Cowser.   .000.   0-11 Urias         .000     0-13   Holliday would be the answer but he is on the IL.   Mayo?  More Hays, Less Cowser.   Mullins gets his everyday job back in CF.  Kjerstad would seem to take DH at bats from O'Hearn and Santander.  Santander is hitting .106 as a DH.  Mountcastle may need rest but that will hurt the defense.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Nightengale does not expect Luzardo to be traded because he went on the IL with a back problem.

      .271/.758 in June after .136/.344 in May. Great to see him hitting again. I agree about the defense but he really can't afford too many months like May. He is up to 0.7 WAR which is impressive for as bad as he has been with the bat.

      Consent ends when the ability to give consent ends.  For instance if someone is choked unconscious.

      Mid-80's Don Aase rates a shoutout.    Modern tools I can in a few clicks find for 1985-86 fWAR gives him 7th MLB-wide as RP. It was as the Orioles were halfway from Cal celebrating with Eddie how it is great to be a young and a Baltimore Oriole and 0-21, but as a kid I remember him seeming a notch better than Tippy or Sammy or Stoddard. I learned today he collected the one win the Angels got in the 1979 ALCS.
