We're gonna need somebody else to step up somehow...at least it looks like we have our new closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Where would the O's be without Albert Suarez? He has come up huge multiple times. We've gotten a lot of mileage out of a guy that I don't think much was expected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily most valuable oriole by dollar cost. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Kids are back to school today, and while it's nice to have a lack of chaos while working at home, there wasn't any adjustment to a different routine because only 9 1/2 weeks of summer break didn't *really* set a new routine. It honestly feels almost like they never even finished last school year. It was an incredibly busy summer, so maybe that's part of it - just lots happening and no set routine other than 6 weeks of swim! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an incredibly busy summer, so maybe that's part of it - just lots happening and no set routine other than 6 weeks of swim! Kinda forgot it was the first day of school...our kids are long gone from FCPS. But it was still kind of a weird day for us, as my wife -- who retired from FCPS in summer 2023 -- was invited by a few folks at her former school to apply for an afternoon PT job for one more year, which she did, and she got the job. She's actually happy to be back doing "a little something" again. I guess golf lessons and pickleball just wasn't satisfying enough...not to mention being home with ME while I telework. Personally, I can't imagine feeling that way after MY first year of retirement (commencing in March 2026!)...but we'll see. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Os can't catch a break lol. Another one down. Hopefully they can keep playing .500 and get in, while getting Grayson back and maybe Elfin for the end of the reg season and playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Re: the Os…..they really need to find a way to hold it together through the Dodgers series. These next few are tough and then the schedule eases a bit. 6 of 7 series after playing in LA vs teams not in the playoff race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehh I wouldn't say that...remember, despite all of this, we are doing the first place dance with the Yankees, and nobody else in the AL is running away with it...thus buying us time to get healthy. I'd say that is a more of a blessing than the opposite--we could be in a much worse position right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought sound dampers for my air duct leading to my home office. When the A/C blows it's loud because of the force of air through the closed vent. Was waiting for the A/C to come on but it was too cold outside. So, I had to turn it to 68 degrees. lol. It was 72 outside. The day I need to test my duct, it's cold.

toolsheds Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 9 hours ago, Chris78 said: Yankees could really take charge of the division this weekend it appears They seem to think that hitting Hrs is the key to winning. Way too many strikeouts. They really need to start doing the little things like moving runners up and just getting the bat on the ball. When you are down in a 1-2 count and try for the HR against a decent pitcher, you just need to try and put the ball in play. O'Hearn is usually decent at this, but seems like he is also in a funk. I know that Hyde has done a great job with all the injuries, but this has to be something he changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playoff race has tightened and they could be on the bubble in short notice. Schedule is softer after the LA series, but the team really has to turn things around in all 3 phases. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to the game last night and happy to say I stayed for the whole thing. So far the O's are 4-0 for the games i've been to. Going again today and hope the luck keeps up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
