DCSaints_fan Posted April 26, 2023 Author Share Posted April 26, 2023 Crazy 9th. That would have been epic if we could have come back from 7 runs down. At least we forced them to use Jansen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rotation has not solidified yet besides Gibson and Wells. Kremer hasn't been very good (WBC hangover?), Rodriguez is figuring it out at the major league level, Irvin got sent down, Bradish got hurt 2 innings into the year and has one good and one poor start. So not exactly the best first month of the season for the rotation, but the team has managed to win games. Sometime soon, the rotation is going to need to shoulder the load.

Spaceman Spiff Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Pretty important game tonight. Would be nice to take a series from Boston and kick them further down in the standings early on. I think if they go .500 against their division (which is not a small task) they'll be able to beat up on teams from other weaker divisions and have a good season.

TheDoyler23 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Cano in 2023 is Bautista in 2022. Dominant setup man who takes control in the 7/8th and just shuts it down. Love to see it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCSaints_fan Posted April 28, 2023 Author Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) Three walks, three strikeouts by Bautista to end the 9th as Os win 7-4. Schoop in particular, swung at three balls and could have very well walked in a run with the bases loaded.

TheDoyler23 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Kind of a wild win given the iffy Gibson start but the bats had a big rally and the pen put it on ice. Welcome to the show, Joey Ortiz. Looks like a ballplayer to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCSaints_fan Posted April 30, 2023 Author Share Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) Nice series win ... Urias should not have to sacrifice consecutive games to Gunnar Henderson. I guess the starting pitching decision when Means comes back is pretty easy now ... Kremer either moves to the bullpen or gets sent down On another note, Mateo should probably be batting either leadoff or 2nd. Keeping him in the bottom of the order is almost criminal. He should definitely not be batting behind Stowers, Santander or Henderson Edited April 30, 2023 by DCSaints_fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballZombie Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Love to see it and hate to see it at the same time. Top 3 teams in the AL all in the same div. Everybody got a winning record too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoyler23 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Boston has a relatively young lineup that's produced runs. But the pitching is not good at all 12th in the AL in runs allowed. I think right now, they're a better team than NY. Yankees have starters out, but the real trouble zone is their offense is 11th in the AL. Stanton on the IL, Judge not putting up Ruthian numbers. And they got a lot of better performances from several players last year that isn't happening so far. So they're stuck in neutral waiting for some big run to happen. Will it? Probably to some extent because of the dollars spent and the dollars to spend to get their nose across the playoff finish line. Jays are kind of similar to the Orioles in run production and prevention. Though the lineup is less balanced with some serious highs (Chapman, Vlad JR, Bichette) but also some craters in there. The Rays have scored the most runs and allowed the fewest in the AL. They're playing MLB The Show in real life. Springs going out for the season after a couple good starts is tough. Our Orioles are getting really nice production from semi-unexpected places like Hays and Mateo while they wait out more from Santander and Mountcastle. The rotation is shaky besides Wells and Gibson, but the pen has been fantastic. The truth is that our Orioles are going to win as their rotation improves. If guys like Kremer, Bradish and Rodriguez improve along with getting something from Means, this team could take off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 The Rays are heads and shoulders above everyone else in run differential. They're amazing. Gotta like where the Orioles are at though. Didn't think they'd start this well. Kansas City on Tues-Thurs, they gotta beat up on them because we've got some tough series ahead with the the Braves, the Rays, the Pirates (THE PIRATES), maybe a bit of a reprieve against the Angels and then onto the Jays, Yankees and Guardians. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCSaints_fan Posted May 1, 2023 Author Share Posted May 1, 2023 Tampa had a pretty epic collapse against the White Sox last night. Behind 4-2 in the top of the 8th they score 5 runs to make it 7-4. The White Sox score a run in the bottom of the 8th to make it 7-5. Tampa tacks on 2 more runs in the ninth to make it 9-5. Then they allow 7 runs in the bottom of the 9th and lose 12-9. The last three runs were the result of a 3 run homer which is why the winning run wasn't the last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDoyler23 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Cano gave up an infield hit. Mullins with a ridiculous dicing catch on the warning track. Mountcastle with 2 dongs. Santander got a single in a 16 pitch AB. Wells turned it on after a rough first inning. Win Column. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDoyler23 Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 I know the pitch count was super low but Gibson needed to be pulled before this game got out of hand. He had terrible stuff and threw one pitch that netted a swing and miss. One. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
