I thought the explanation for pushing him was so he would pitch in the Yankees series.

Probably. But maybe it was enough of an injury to be day to day and the need to make a roster move made the decision easier to 15 day IL him. Who knows really? It’s pretty convenient that a roster move needed to be made and all of a sudden someone’s hurt.

They’re 8-5 at home, 8-4 on the road. They score 5.5 runs per game at home. They also score 5.5 runs per game on the road. What was your point again?

To be fair it’s such a small sample size, he could go 6 for his next 6 abs and be batting .225. I don’t think he should be sent back down unless he goes something like another another 1/25. At the very least, he seems to be having some more solid contact even without getting hits.

Also if we’re doing closer entrance music then…

Nice!

Yeah I hear that. I thought the same thing when I started watching Mad Men. I was like, "This show is okay, but I don't really get all the hype." I kept watching and then I couldn't stop.

Facts. I like how all the score bugs sort of blend into the picture instead of just being on the screen (don't really know how to describe it).

I started watching the first episode, I could not get into that show. Guess I'm going to have to give it another go...

I think the only people blaming the pitch clock are the people who were already opposed to the pitch clock. I'm never going to believe that allowing the pitcher to dick around with a rosin bag, walk around the mound, fix his twig and berries over and over (for however long they want between pitches) is going to prevent TJ surgery, which is obviously always a risk when you're asking a human to use his arm and elbow in a way it wasn't mean to be used. People are obviously trying to act like pitchers going down with elbow injuries is a new thing, but the numbers don't really prove that.

Dude when your posts boil down, “This my ridiculous opinion, which is really just fact, and you can’t argue against it because I’m so awesome at everything in life”, that’s going to turn people off. It will only naturally cause people to take shots against your claims.

You nailed nothing in that post. When you made the thread, it read already statically impossible for the orioles to miss the playoffs. You were wrong.

I’m confused, what profit is there to gain by keeping the prospects in the minors? I’m not saying those guys shouldn’t (in a perfect world) be in the majors. Hays, Urias and Mateo probably should have been traded but they weren’t. At this point, it’s hard to just bench 5 guys from a team that won the division and had the most wins in the league.

Kind of a distinction without a difference, no? Yes, it got hit by a ship and the ship knocked it down, but it did collapse.
