No doubt. I was at the game, saw the stat (1-9 at the time) and had to do a double-take. It reminded me of living through Anthony Young's record-setting 27 game losing streak. Found this article https://www.amazinavenue.com/2018/7/27/17598026/mets-anthony-young-losing-streak-snapped-history-new-york. Most of it mirrors my memory except the part that he had converted 12 consecutive save opportunities in the middle of the streak - I have no recollection of that whatsoever.

CINCINNATI -- All-Star right-hander Corbin Burnes of the Arizona Diamondbacks is set to undergo Tommy John elbow surgery, ending his season early in the first year of a six-year, $210 million contract.

 

O's got lucky they were cheap and didn't re-sign him

This was a pretty good catch:

So is it they figure they can charge a fortune or that not many will be interested?

Who knows with the A's.  I'll correct that number to between 30k-33k according to Google

Still, with downsizing of new baseball stadiums that’s been going on, tickets have got to be up there. I haven’t gone to a game in 20 years, maybe it’s not as bad as I’m thinking.

Orioles had a 8-0 lead and lost 12-8, ***** sad

John Fisher, A's owner is selling the San Jose Earthquakes to help pay for this stadium. He's getting no help from his baseball buddies. I would laugh hard when this ballpark doesn't happen. Fisher is a stain on Jose Canseco's underwear.

They're not even drawing 8500 in Sacramento. The A's are a complete joke.

Padres and Dodgers had a bit of a plunkathon series, Ohtani twice intentionally. But he prevented a repeat of another bench clearing like the one a half inning earlier.

 

…..the announcers gushed like he was Moses parting the Red Sea.

Tampa got out in front of the O's 6-0 in the 2nd inning, O's came back to beat the Rays 22-8.  now they won't score for another week

That is baseball in a nutshell.

 

It never ceases to amaze me how folks who have watched the game for decades don't grasp the fickle nature of the game when viewed through small time frames. Neither Tampa nor the O's 2025 season is likely to be defined by the games played this and last week, they are just another chapter in a longer book.
