@Region Philbis,

OMG!

“Do you believe in miracles.”

@Ragman,

fourteen in a row!

a little two-out magic in the 7th and 8th, including a solo shot by 3B Durbin to put us ahead for good...

Cripes! Is it safe to come back to the fold? If I start watching them again, I’ll jinx ‘em!

@Ragman,

glad the streak is over.

at this point it was probably becoming too much of a distraction for the team...

@Region Philbis,

Agreed. Overall, I feel this is a healthy sign. The American league East is very much up for grabs. The dreaded Yankees are bound to improve so there’ll be a dogfight in September and I’d love to see our hometown boys hang in there.

I’ll be extremely happy if the health of the offense and pitching staff improves. I’d love to see if another reliable reliever takes the pressure off Chapman. A decent setup pitcher or two would be great.

Let’s hope this surge hives them the confidence they need to succeed. God knows the fans will fan the flames.

@Ragman,

I just looked over their stats and apparently they’ve got a few good set up in like Whitlock. Not so bad.

@Ragman,

Furthermore, I discovered that their team defense is among the top, though experiences occasional inconsistencies with fundamentals. Notably, their outfield defense is amongst the top.

Their park attendance in late-July is booming, rocking 30 k+.

Next goal: close the gap with the bleeping Yankees.

@George,

I’m always mowing it over, but I never can figure out who to draft who I should pick and prioritize initially and how to maintain the list on a week-to-week basis without it sucking up a chunk of time and producing little good results unless the draft is initially good… real good. Then there’s the issue about competing against experienced participants!

Interesting stat! Very encouraging. Hopefully during this trade deadline we can pickup a hot bat.

Orioles trade All-Star catcher Rutschman to Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox are acquiring three-time All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman in a trade with the Baltimore Orioles, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan.

Rutschman is on the IL with left wrist inflammation.

Top right-handed pitching prospect Anthony Eyanson is part of the return for the Orioles, a source told Passan.

The Orioles will also receive catcher Carlos Narvaez and prospects in outfielder Enddy Azocar and right-hander Kyson Witherspoon, per reports.

Also going to the Red Sox are catcher Jake Rogers and cash, according to The Boston Globe.

Rutschman, who earned his third All-Star nod with the Orioles this season, provides elite defense and has regained his old form at the plate. However, he became expendable in Baltimore when the Orioles signed young slugger Samuel Basallo to a long-term deal prior to this season.
