TheDoyler23 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I hope they extend the series and put up a fight. If they can get it back to Baltimore it would be tremendous, but the only mission now is to win A game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Nonsense Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I'm not "too" upset if they don't win this series because they're way ahead of schedule and should be even better next year. With that being said, they better go out and find at least one hitter and possibly a closer this offseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Israeli-American pitcher Dean Kremer will make his first career playoff start for the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night while thinking about family members in Israel, where war has been declared following a deadly attack by the militant group Hamas.

Can't imagine thinking where his head is at right now! Players around him need to step up tonight (regarding the game)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCSaints_fan Posted October 11, 2023 Author Share Posted October 11, 2023 Bummer, 3-0 now. Eovaldi pitching its going to be tough to come back. Kremer isn't going to last another inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expecting the bullpen to pitch 7 1/3 innings wasn't going to work either. They'd give up at least 4 runs to this lineup. And then we'd have to boot Eovaldi sooner than they'd like. Which I think is unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ball Security Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Will they offer Santander arbitration? Looks like he could get around $12M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but only to become a trade candidate. Need to spend on actually upgrading the pitching staff for the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decision not to add pitching at the deadline (are we really going to count Jack Flaherty?), when we have a stocked farm system to deal from, is coming back to bite them in the ass. Still a great season, and this is a terrific team. You can't fluke your way to 100+ wins in MLB. We've got some good years ahead of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is they stunk down the stretch so they went with Rodriguez and Kremer. Ironically we may have won game 2 if Flaherty had started. But that would have been an incredibly hard gutsy call for Hyde to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCSaints_fan Posted October 11, 2023 Author Share Posted October 11, 2023 And whats with starting Mullins over Hicks. Mullins hasn't done anything in the postseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Sad. Team is young, hopefully they learn from this. I agree, we need a top of the rotation starter. We had guys like Gibson and Kremer sort of outperform all expectations this year. Can't rely on them. I am praying Bradish and Rodriguez keep sharp and get even better. Another quality bat is necessary too. That's the thing with the playoffs, you can afford one or two "off games." This is not the long haul of the regular season, every single game is crucial.

SloppyOneXXVI Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 We haven't been swept since last May. I'll worry about the off-season tomorrow.... tonight I'm going to drink a copious amount of beers and be sad for these guys. What a great team and season, sucks going out like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see Angelos swimming in those waters. Maybe there is a controlled pitcher that they could trade for. Perhaps Cease if they are confident that they can identify and correct the reasons he had a down season this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were great through the better part of 162 games, spread out over 6 months. And then 3 bad games in 4 days, and they're done. Doesn't seem fair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
