There's really no reason to ever get excited about this current Os team. 1 step forward and 2 steps back

Sanders made the mess,but bringing Cano in with the bases loaded and 2 outs really is pretty dumb on Albernaz's part the way Cano has pitched in his last 2 appearances.

Os offense is back to sucking against the Yankees. Sucks they blew Mondays game but oh well. Probably not consistent enough to make the playoffs anyway.

Yeah it awful. Those numbers could easily be flipped around. Really good decision to lock him up long term. His stuff is electric.

Os just can't move past that 2 games under .500 mark. Looks like there going to be back to 4 games under after tonight.

He missed almost a month and they didn't send him on a rehab assignment. Kinda stupid after missing that much time

There's about 4 or 5 crappy teams gunning for the last wild card spot. One of them will be in the playoffs. Atleast briefly lol. Although I wouldn't feel to bad trotting out Bradish ,Rodgers and Baz in a best of 3 series. Problem is we wouldn't score any runs against the other team top of the rotation

Or pitch against them

I agree. I doubt Albernaz makes too many pregame manager decisions. It's Obvious there line up is made off of analytics and spread sheets. Why else would you sit Holiday after going 4 for 4. Or sit TON since he's been on a tear for over a month now. I'm not saying you shouldn't use that stuff at all but it's Obvious they don't make decisions based ofnof feel or who's hot and who's not.

In what world does it make any sense for Gunner to bat lead off. At this point he is what he is which is a below average hitter. He should be in the bottom half of the order but Albernaz is void of any balls.

Buck's a million times better than this Bozo ass kisser we have now in Albernaz. He's awful. Hands down bad.

Just watched the entire portion about the Os. Pretty interesting stuff. I doubt Elias ever hires a manager that has any real credentials unless Rubenstein pushes for it. I'd love to get Buck back here but that would never happen with Elias in charge I agree with you that Rubenstein seems clueless and just seems to defers to Mike. Not a Healthy business model when everyone is just a yes man to the president of baseball ops

Yeah. Wells hurts if your still trying to compete this year.

Sorry. When I said starters I was referring to starting line up. Adley and Ward

You absolutely can not beleive anything Elias says- "Lift off" "Bringing in an ace" "Buying and selling" " still going for the playoffs this year" After moving 2 starters and your closer lol. Talk about blowing smoke up the ass lol. I understand why they traded Adley and it was probably the right move if your not going to sign him to a longer term deal but, man Elias really thinks the fans are stupid with the BS he puts out there during his press conferences. He's just so damn arrogant.

Sad thing is it looks like Elias gets a second chance at a rebuild, albeit maybe a minor rebuild He's definitely coming back. He's operated at the deadline like he's absolutely coming back. I'd be shocked if he's not back. Rubenstein seems like he's happy with Elias and Elias will continue to install puppet managers. You'll never see a veteran manager brought in as long as Elias is in charge.

Os dominated by a pitcher with an 8.00 Era lol.

Down in Rodanthe, NC this week. Had 4 to 7 inches of rain overnight. Roads flooded around Pea Island on RT 12. Had an ugly day yesterday and today doesn't look much better. Hopefully see some sun the rest of the week.

There's a better chance Elias is back then Alby

If Elias feels that comfortable shipping Adley to Boston that tells me all I need to know about Elias's future for next year. I'm so disgusted right now with them.

If this is the end of the Adley era in Baltimore it's been largely disappointing. They tanked for a lot of years for 2 seasons of competitive baseball and 0 post season wins. ( games) not series. Elias absolutely needs to be fired,but I get the feeling he will be back next year. Watching the little media availability that you do see Rubenstein do, it's starting feel like incompetence at the ownership level. All three levels of incompetence in the organization with Ownership, baseball ops and coaching. In 2023 they had the best record in baseball and the #1 ranked farm system to this in 3 years... Think about that.

With Philly coming to town more like 3 - 6 probably

Most games he seems to try to just pull the ball. I think he's turned into a selfish player but that's just my opinion watching his approach at the plate. In Boston he took a couple away pitches and hit them off the green monster, which I loved to see but haven't really seen that approach since. He's got too much Talent to be batting sub .220 He needs to be further down in the line up but that won't happen.

Glad the Os got a win last. Ugly tonight and with Skubal going tomorrow drooping 2 of 3 looks likely

And Gunner should be batting in the bottom 3rd of the order at this point when Adley and Basillo are in the line up by that will never happen...
