Holy shit the Orioles are crushing this year. And they the Guardians of 2023, team from nowhere?
So are the Orioles back to being the Browns of MLB? They can hit OK but that was the same awful Birds pitching we have known for years. Seriously that staff got lit up by the Gs, they should be ashamed of themselves.
 
Arias needs to be in the lineup every day, especially to find out if his platoon splits are real. He has been absolutely great against RHP this year and RCF poster level against LHP.
His minor league splits show no significant difference so likely this is just a random variation from a small sample size.
 
Any chance you have to bench a guy with a 1.010 OPS over his last 10 games in a series that can vault you back into 1st place you have to do it.

Tito has been frustrating with his lineups this season.
Yeah, shame Arias is sitting again.

Now seems like an ideal time to try Brennan in CF and Arias in right.
 
Free Fucking Freeman

Amed, Andres, Bell and Brennan are all playing in front of Arias and Freeman today.

That's disappointing.
 
So Gimenez now 4th, Bell 5th and Arias at 1B hitting 6th ....

I would have thrown Arias 4th... keeping Gimenez were he is. Hopefully moving him doesn't cause him to start pressing again.
 
I’m slowly warming up to a Bieber trade if we could land a ready made RF with power and years control , or a highly OF AA/AAA prospect that is likely to cash in, my only worry is how many arms are we going to have healthy or have reach there pitch limits ( Bibee, Allen,Williams) come September……

Maybe they should move him for this guy? Was destroying AAA and has been doing well since being promoted a week ago. Could see what else he could get.

In no particular order...
  1. McKenzie
  2. Civale
  3. Quantrill
  4. Plesac
  5. Bibee
  6. Allen
  7. Morris
  8. Gaddis
  9. Cantillo
  10. Battenfield
  11. Williams
I know you can never have enough starting pitching, but I think our SP depth is fine without Bieber.
