Darn, I was about to post this...had just copied the lineups at 8:33 as well. Hopefully they get off the schnide.

Don Quixote-started game threads: Orioles 1-0

Non-Don Quixote-started game threads: Orioles 0-8

:drek:

There can't be anything to this, but I had hoped to get in early just for metaphysics' sake.

Yeah, yeah, small sample size, too. ;)

I know the A's have gotten off to a solid start, but there just is nothing to me frightening about that lineup. I think David pitches a great game tonight, and the O's get the West Coast swing started.

I feel like tonight could be a really refreshing win. It was over 30 hours ago since the loss, different opponent, different part of the country..I like it. Let's go birds.

Yeah, hopefully they get it together. I haven't seen this team remotely perform to potential (not talking individual games) in a long time; if this trip could serve as a reset button I'd like to see how things progress. Some of the West should be meat for this team but they just haven't gotten it done. I'll be delighted if they can start to change that tonight.

Reimold needs to play more.

Hopefully he can somehow get some time in at first.

It's a real shame he was hurt in ST and they couldn't give him a month to try and learn it.

Ideally I'd just like to see Luke get hot enough to maximize his value and then deal him. Then Reimold can be the primary DH, getting the occasional start in left.

the Athletics line up is soooooo bad. But some random turd seems to always crush us, its probably going to be Pennington or someone.

And who is staying up to watch the game? It is a work day tomorrow!

Me, that's who! Tomorrow is Friday, so it's not a problem.

At least for me it's not, but my employer might think differently. :rolleyes:

I believe David Hernandez is going to pitch well tonight. Also have a feeling the Orioles break through against Ben Sheets and are able to get quite a few extra base hits; possibly even a triple as well. Hopefully Felix Pie will get the offense jump started.

I'm feeling a good night of baseball for the Orioles. Let's go O's! Work will somewhat get done tomorrow.:D

    • Roch is an idiot. Criticizing the fanbase at a time like now is ridiculous. 1 run in 2 games? Cmon man.    Also, nobody asks for that stupid emcee to get the crowd excited, that’s strictly for tv purposes. 
    • I was there and there was nothing to get remotely excited about except for 5 minutes in the 5th inning. Stupid swings at the plate, lack of hitting in RISP. Cleveland scored more run before they recorded an out today than we did in 2 full games at home. Let that sink in. Our team is full of chokers that don’t handle pressure well or rise to the occasion. 
    • This really only works if you're looking at 2 years of data.  Look at 4 years of data and suddenly Burnes looks like a vastly better bet.  Burnes has had an era under 3 for 3 out of the last 4 seasons plus the covid year.  Musgrove only 1 prior to signing the deal. 
    • Did anyone here know she could play guitar?  
    • I survived the decade plus losing years, I’m fairly hard to disappoint at this age. That said, I think they can change some things up in spring training - small ball stuff isn’t hard to add to the arsenal. I think they O’s may add a FA or two or resign one or two of our own guys in the winter. I don’t think we will ever throw money around like the Yanks or Dodgers, but I do believe ownership will invest more than the previous crew. All I was saying is I hope Elias starts to tackle some of the changes he talked about to push the rebuild to the next level. I do agree I’ll not be able to evaluate any potential changes until this time next year.

Maybe the fans just matched the team’s energy level the last 3 months? They were lifeless and witnessed what happened in the WC all too often from July-September. They went 1-13 with RISP, had 2 real XBH’s, and 1 run in 18 innings. The Guardians scored 2 runs 4 batters into their series. The team gave the fans little to cheer for from July on - the attendance and energy level just reflected that and the general discontent that this year’s team brought, even though there’s no shame in a 91 win season.
