This game is Robles-proof at this point, no?

We were told by people on this site who've scouted him and watched him in the minors that Dalbec could get this hot. He's scorching right now. It started against Detroit and the temperature is going up.

This game is Robles-proof at this point, no? Its Valdez proof at this point. The Rays could send the Sox Mejias to lob softballs and the Sox should be able to win.

.233/.284/.443 It's official. Bobby Dalbec is having an Acceptably Bad season. He has a 100 wRC+ (well, 99 or 100) since April 11th. He's an average hitter, baby!

So like did Bobby figure it out? I believe it once he does it against a team that is not the O's...just look at the pitches he crushed...those were not MLB pitches...

It's been really helpful that Verdugo is starting to look right lately and is apparently over what seemed to be ailing him.

I'm just upset that we can't use Workman here. I hope we can keep pitching Richards until his arm falls off, or put Schwarber in at first and have Cordero pitch. Not seriously, but still.

How is it that the Orioles can go year after year being terrible, drafting at the top of the draft year after year and still just be so pathetic. Compare them to the Rays and try and figure that out. It starts at the top, ownership. I'm so thankful John Henry is the Sox owner and not Peter Angelos. It's sad. The Orioles were so great from 1966 - 1983, but now they suck year after year like their predecessors, the St Louis Browns. That would be the Albert Belle affect. He spent big on him and he was a psycho, sucked and got hurt so they wasted a ton of money and he hasn't spent any money since. Unless you want to include Chris Davis which once again was a big mistake. But that doesn't explain a farm system that should have been loaded.

Great to see Sale back. With Eovaldi, and Houck behind him, the next 1.5 month should be so much better.

Tate is the first O's MLB worthy pitcher this game

I'd say until recently the Orioles were run like an antiquated 20th century team, including guys running the farm system. They weren't even active in Latin America. Hard to improve that way. Mike Elias has taken over trying to modernize the organization. They are so far behind the 8 ball. It'll take awhile. Doesnt help when the Sox draft the guy they wanted, Jud Fabian. Haha

Save runs for NY please.
It's nice to win a series again.

So it seems real. Sale, Eovaldi, ERod, Pivetta, Houck. What an upgrade!
Now we just need Brasier (the good one, not the one that got lit up for 5 runs in Woo yesterday) and Darwinzon (which may mean goodbye to Davis and Robles) from the IL - and most importantly, Arroyo (meaning farewell to Franchy?). If Duran and Dalbeck are finally figuring things out...we will make the rest of the season really interesting for sure.

They couldn't have used Robles again after 10 pitches? Now who do they use for the 9th?

Haha How does that kind of malpractice even exist? I mean really baseball should call these owners out on the carpet and say either try to keep up or sell your team. This isn't like owning a Burger King franchise, this is a multi billion dollar industry.

Relegation would solve that. However the owners own the league and so they would never vote for that.
