@ByMattWeyrich If only there was an outfield position that had a massively underperforming player where he could play.

*whispers*
Orioles' Colton Cowser has reached base in seven of his past nine games, and he's only played a full nine innings in three of them. Making the case for more playing time to see if he can really get going.
English
Colton Cowser since April 22:
.244 BA
.326 OBP
.415 SLG
.741 OPS
A small sample (46 plate appearances), but that’s around the time Cowser changed his swing to add a leg kick.

@jcalvinmeyer Can he get DFA’d after the second game of the DH? Or would it be a more complicated roster move to make?
English
Keegan Akin gives up a run in the eighth inning after a bloop single to right field and an infield single. He has a 13.06 ERA this season.

@PigTownSports @MLBDeadlineNews @jcmccaffrey I will toss in $50 and a six pack of Sam Adams to make this happen.

@MLBDeadlineNews @jcmccaffrey Tyler O’Neill is familiar to the Sox

@Jeff_Ermann @Terrapins247 Oh, for sure. I just don’t care much for it.
It turns college basketball into either compelling programs or coaches you follow, and Maryland has neither of those currently.

@jcalvinmeyer Who within the organization is responsible for creating lineups?
Albernaz gets some flack for lineup decisions — how much of that is deserved?

The Orioles haven't lost a baseball game since Wednesday. They're 22-29, but only 2.5 games back of a wild-card spot.
Seems like a great time for an Orioles mailbag.
Fire away.

@BoeJidensBurner @masnOrioles By what metric can you argue he has been the best for the past month?
English
@mocomojo4 @masnOrioles No not particularly but unfortunately he’s been our best the past month

"The No. 1 goal for me always is just get to the playoffs."
Righty Chris Bassitt with the media on staying in good Wild Card standing, some offensive support from Pete Alonso and Gunnar Henderson and more.

@PayneMasaitis The Brown Bear.
Late to wake from hibernation but powerful once aroused.
English
Gunnar Henderson in his last 7 games:
13/31
3 2B
1 HR
3 RBI
1 BB
7 SO
.419 AVG
.438 OBP
.613 SLG
1.050 OPS
That’s. My. Shortstop.

@BoeJidensBurner @masnOrioles 4.1 innings for a “start” with 3 ER is not what you want
English
@masnOrioles This coach gets paid to tell a professional athlete that essentially he just needs to pitch better?
I could do that for a lot cheaper!
English
“So, I think just continuing to get his command refined, trusting his stuff in the zone. Those are the things that are gonna help him change speeds, keep hitters off balance."
Pitching strategy coach Ryan Klimek on Chris Bassitt, who will be taking the mound today against the Tigers. Plus other notes: masn.me/2hxyujgo

@ByMattWeyrich @jcalvinmeyer Covering 5+ innings routinely is rough.

First 26 games: Orioles’ bullpen ranked 10th in ERA (3.46), 2nd in WHIP (1.15) & 2nd in K% (26.4). They were 13-13.
Last 24 games: Orioles’ bullpen ranks 28th in ERA (6.25), 28th in WHIP (1.62) & 27th in K% (18.3). They’ve gone 8-16.

The Orioles will have their first Pete Alonso bobblehead on Aug. 22 vs. the Rays.
The bobblehead is sponsored by T. Rowe Price and features the company’s logo.

Ben McDonald talked about his comments on yesterday's postgame:
"As you guys know, I briefly lost my mind on yesterday's post-game show just out of frustration more than anything... I'm invested in this team... and I just want to see these guys do good..."
Andy Kostka@afkostka
MASN analyst Ben McDonald on the postgame show: "You either do or you don't. And right now, the Orioles don't. They are not doing it and they're not playing well right now. That's the bottom line."
English
And the Os were great , that’s how they won 101 games in 2023 before they ever were remotely supposed to
I think there’s a deeper and greater amount of issues leading to the Orioles play right now

In modern baseball, teams considered "analytics-forward" have a range of outcomes, from great (Brewers, Yankees) to not great (Orioles, Red Sox?). Teams considered "behind the curve" with analytics RARELY have good outcomes (Angels, Giants?). Choose your fighter wisely.

Maverick Handley has been claimed off waivers by the Braves. A long-trusted depth catcher, for the moment, is out of Baltimore's organization

In 1985 Coca Cola launched “new Coke” Coke was threatened by Pepsi taking too much of their market share and this new Coke tasted like Pepsi. It took them 79 days to realize they made mistake and went back to their original formula. Sometimes ignore the data & trust your eyeballs
