    • Whether you want to call it "breathtaking stupidity" or just a normal level of stupidity... the point was, it was stupid, and he needs to be criticized for it. This is nothing new for Hyde -- he is always making dumb in-game decisions, the worst of which are ones like these: burning our best relievers for no reason, or warming guys up repeatedly and then not bringing them into the game (Buck was good at avoiding this and made a point about it).  This will have a cumulative effect throughout the season, and Elias isn't going to be able to bail him out this time by using the Norfolk shuttle to keep our bullpen fresh like last year. Most everyone is out of options. I get that people don't want to hear these things after a win but they need to be said.
    • Nope. Any why are you neg repping me for an opinion?  That’s Facebook stuff. 
    • I'd keep an eye on Scott. If his K's creep back up to 10+ per 9 and BB's back towards 4 or so, he might be worth a look. I don't think the Orioles can afford to trade any upper level pitching guys; they need the depth. The value of Povich is probably not that far away from what a 12K/9 & 3BB/9 LH Flame throw closer gets you.  If we had 5 Povich's in the system, it would not be as frowned upon. But Scott is not quite in last year's form just yet, so the Marlins will hold on to him for a minute to see where his value could be in a couple months. Might have to overpay a little to get him now as the Marlins probably feel like his market will heat up closer to the July deadline. Stowers, Norby, and a good low level arm might get conversations started. They might come back asking about Beavers, McDermott, some of the top DSL guys; I don't think it would be a conversation about Lottery tickets
    • 9/9, 44, 8 Orioles. It was possible to do all 9 Orioles.  
    • I love this thread.  It would be great if this narrative about Cano being a gold glover could make its way to an influential site like Fangraphs or other places.  Cano is an excellent athlete and doesn't get the credit for it.
