Again, no one made good contact last night outside of Cabrera. Britton should never have been activated this season. The O’s trotted out a coward to the bump today. One of many guys over the last several weeks that mentally cannot handle the moment. I would not care if it was Alvarez going for the record in Houston or if it was prime JD Martinez. Grow a set and pitch to guys or don’t take the mound. Give me a Verlander or Nolan Ryan in these situations every day of the week.

October 1, 20223 yr The “judge is no Bonds” argument has really taken a hit the past 2 weeks. Everyone’s terrified to pitch to him. His OBP is over .500 since he hit #60. And major lulz from the Angels. Hey @Gil Bang your Asian boyfriend is going to be wearing pinstripes next year deal with it.

He goes up 3-0 in the 8th and decides to swing at three straight instead of taking another walk. He goes down swinging, but that was the only shot he had to make contact in that situation. It was 8-0 so why not swing at three straight. When he gets 62 almost no one will remember who served up the homer so that is why I find it so confounding that these pitchers won’t challenge him. Would be awesome to see Ohtani here, but not a chance it happens. Edited October 1, 20223 yr by UpperWestside

October 1, 20223 yr Bonds had a obp over .500 for 4 straight years , so I see how it'd be easy to compare the 2 , with the example you used. Sent from my SM-G990U using Tapatalk

Judge has been intentionally walked 19 times this season. Barry Bonds was intentionally walked 120 times when he was 40 years old in 2004. also, you spent the entire first week where everybody was terrified to pitch to judge incessantly bitching about how judge needed to have a day off because he was struggling so badly, so maybe stfu for a while on this one.
October 2, 20223 yr atlanta taking it degrom and now scherzer is truly impressive. if they sweep this series and send the mets to the wildcard (where they'd face LAD in the divisional round assuming win in the WC) then that's as good as winning a playoff series imo.

October 2, 20223 yr The O’s starter today is decidedly not a cuck and went right after Judge in both PA’s. That’s cool to see even if it did end in K’s both times.
October 2, 20223 yr If anyone hits a homer today they are going to have to hit a liner with how the wind is blowing in. Stanton might be the one guy who could rocket a liner out to left, but he has the day off.
October 2, 20223 yr Pujols is now 1 RBI behind Babe Ruth for 2nd on the all-time list. About 70-80 behind Aaron. Edited October 2, 20223 yr by Beau Vine

October 2, 20223 yr This should probably be Chapman’s last time on the mound in New York. He’s getting some Bronx Cheers for the occasional strikes he is throwing. Quite the fall from where he once was.
October 2, 20223 yr Sooo you're telling me Aaron Judge is likely to be coming to Arlington looking for number 62. Yea yea, gotta like his chances.

October 2, 20223 yr Harrison Bader is just cool to watch and I feel like this is a guy you want long-term in Pinstripes. It’s like watching Gardner play, but with more range in the outfield. I would get this guy a long-term contract ASAP. He and Oswaldo Cabrera have been a nice injection of energy into the team down the stretch.

October 2, 20223 yr Congratulations to the O’s. First team since 1899 (if I heard correctly) to post a winning record the season after losing 110 games. All done while plugging a bunch of kids and older rookies, along with some Rule 5 castoffs, into big roles as the season moved along. Also, can’t overlook the veteran leadership provided by Robinson Chirinos, Roughned Odor, and Jordan Lyles who were mentioned all year long by Brandon Hyde for their contributions on and off the field. Ownership said this week they will renew their lease for OPACY and Mike Elias was quoted as having received the go ahead to shop in the trade and free agent markets this offseason. Renewed fan interest and a well stocked system suggests good times ahead. Go O’s!
October 2, 20223 yr Man fuck the Orioles, no offense. That series was horrible for us and I’m salty right now.

BTW, during today’s postgame presser, a NY reporter asked both Hyde and O’s SP Kyle Bradish if they “were surprised Bradish wasn’t tossed” for questioning a no swing by Golden Boy (who happened to K on the next pitch). Seriously … that’s all the clown could come up with?
October 2, 20223 yr Watching Yankees/Dodgers An Uncivil War is good stuff. Have thought for ages that a movie on Billy Martin's life would be good subject matter.

This is exactly like when everyone thought the Marlins “turned the corner” in 2020. Promising young stars and loaded farm system. Look how great that turned out. The O’s are pretty inept and vastly overperformed this year (winning record with negative run differential). You’ll regress next year and stay in the cellar where you belong.
