I didn't realize that ESPN was showing the Mets three times in a row????

Shouldn't there be some kind of penalty for showing the same team three weeks in a row in the "game of the week?"

That is startling... thank goodness for the MLB Network.

Even more annoying than three weeks in a row of Mets, was it is back to back days of Mets-Phillies because they were on FOX today.

MLB should let FOX, TBS, and ESPN draft one series every weekend. Change the order every week. When ESPN gets into Friday baseball during a Yankees-Red Sox series:

Fri - Yanks/Sox on ESPN

Sat - Yanks/Sox on FOX

Sun - Yanks/Sox on ESPN or TBS

I'm pretty sure this has happened before. Two out of three games happens all the time. There should be only one national game per series.

      My question  What the hell were you thinking letting strikeout king Cowser bat in a pressure bases loaded situation against a left handed pitcher ?

      Holliday was advertised as a guy with a 70 hit tool.  It is insane how poorly he is at putting the bat on the ball.  With him, I will say there is the possibility that his father is driving some of the approach issues.  It was obvious to me he had an issue with his leg kick.  Finally, it seems like he is changing that.  I would like to know when he was being told to make a change.

      I think he kept him because the value/cost was acceptable even without a break out year. That might still be the case in 2025.

      Adley shares tough health admission

      Of course they're going to say this.  I didn't believe them. Adley got hit on the hand on 6/27. At the time, he was hitting 300 with an 830 OPS. In the 2 weeks including that game, he was on tear: 309 with an 894 OPS. The 2 weeks immediately following being hit on the hand? 120 BA, 519 OPS The months after: 132/482 229/625 214/578 He also had some lingering back pain in the middle of August, but these issues started at the end of July in terms of performance.  My take is his hand/wrist zapped his power, he tried to make up for it by using more of his body and that put an extra strain on, say, his back. Being a catcher is already a grueling job, so that didn't help things.

      I have to agree here. Something is amiss. Uber prospects like Mayo and Holliday should not hit like pitchers when they arrive in the majors. We all expects some bumps, but the Orioles have seen almost every prospect really struggle at times early in their careers after hitting will in the minors.  Even Gunnar, Westburg, Cowser and Adley had to basically learn at the major league level how to hit. Yes, they had different levels or struggles, but I was honestly amazed at how poorly Holliday and Mayo hit at the major league level.

      A training issue is still an issue with executing the strategy not the strategy in and of itself.

      Chance. The Padres went from one of the worst teams with RISP to one of the best, despite losing maybe the best hitter in the game. Bryce Harper had an OPS+ of 234 in "late and close" in 2023.  In 2024 it was 84.
