It's not like Detroit is a bad team or something, I think some people are overreacting quite a bit. The night after their offense gets stymied by a rookie, they respond with their guy on the hill. It happens.

Hopefully we can get to Rodney in the 9th, it's not over till it's over.

Walker isn't long for this team. I think the only reason he has stayed up for as long as he has is because we don't have much of anybody to turn to in the minors but anybody would help more than him. I don't think they want to go to Perez yet but just calll up Castillo. He isn't much but he did an adequate job last year.

I think they have been hoping to salvage some trade value, but that's gone with the wind.

I'm not even sure about trade value, per se, as much as hoping he'd pitch well enough to let a team take him and the rest of this year's $4.5 million dollar salary off their hands. See: Bradford, Chadwick.

I don't see it happening at this point though, but never doubt AM... he's a hell of a salesman. :clap3:

QFT.

Detroit is in first place...it's not like it's the Nats or something. And no matter what happens we've already guaranteed ourselves a split against one of the better teams in the league.

      The game is already tied. If he gets thrown out, the O's still have a runner in scoring position and just one out. You really didn't have much to lose by sending him there, with a chance to end the game.

      Yes.  He’s not a great bunter but at least try it once.   Santander was today’s choker.  He’s gotta be able to hit a freaking fly ball there.

      Same exact question Ravens fans ask every season.  No killer instinct.  In the game’s biggest moments, they come up small.  Exactly what you saw today.  Pathetic

      Should we have gone with a suicide or safety squeeze with Mullins? He might be better at bunting than hitting deep fly balls. Just a thought.

      I agree with the second but not the first. If the first fails, that's an extra out. If the second fails then they just get an out at home instead of an out at first, which is not really relevant with Gunnar going to 3rd. For the first case I'd think you need to be like 80% to succeed for it to be right, but for the second like 20%.

      The Sting of Losing Winnable Games

      Bump. Tonight's game wasn't just "winnable" -- it would have been one of the top 2-3 wins of the season. Down 2 in the 9th and we come out single, single, walk, double to tie the game and have two of our fastest runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs, with our 2-3-4 hitters coming up next.  And our guys gagged. They wilted under pressure. They choked.  Again.  This has happened so many times this season that I believe we need to consider the real possibility that the Orioles as currently constructed lack the character, stamina, -- the heart, if you will -- to win games like this. I think these players fail so often because they expect to fail. I remember after we won it all in '83 reporters were interviewing Ken Singleton in the locker room and one of them asked if the Orioles had been lucky. "You make your own luck" he responded. Well, the 2024 Orioles are making their own bad luck over and over again. How does that cycle of failure come to an end? I wish I knew.

      I know the OH hates Holliday, but it's a no brainer keeping him over Soto. We're talking about bench players who are going to, at most, have a small role in a few games. Soto has no pop and is slow. He's a warm body as it is. Holliday's ability to run can be very useful in the playoffs.
