i'm curious if baltimore will continue to play this way with how young they are. might tune in more Orioles game to see how they fair out.
My trade deadline acquisitions in the thread that was started included trading for Perez. We would be giving up Diaz however plus others.
As the great analytical Carlos Correa once said (as an analyst while his former team was playing in the ALCS)… great players get paid to hit the mistakes.
Bullpen is even more short than yesterday. I fully expected them to bring in bullpen help overnight because of the long game. Why didn't they?
Man on 2nd with no outs and we can't even get him to third, much less home. There's been way too much of that lately from this team. I'm not saying they need to bunt every time or anything, but with the 8-9 hitters up, maybe not the worst idea in the world.
Bielak in the bullpen with Brown available as a starter tomorrow on full rest (then off day Monday). Abreu and all the guys who pitched one inning who haven’t pitched 2 days in a row should be available. But if France starts walking guys like Myles Straw on 4 pitches with regularity, they’re going to need Brandon for sure.
Meyers had a pitch he should have crushed (fouled it off). Typically not a fan of small ball in earlier innings especially with a starter recently off the DL who’s stuff and location looks very hittable.
