  1. Just to go on the record. I LOVE having Miller in our pen but am not crazy about the trade. Ultimately, I'll get over it.
  2. <p><p><p>Thanks, but that was a previous life (mid-1980s to early 1990s)--probably the most exciting time in my life. Then I became a publisher, then a late-returning doctoral student (literature and film), then a professor, and am now retired to be a landlord, gardener, and fake writer. Your posts are always a refreshing breath of common sense and decency--thanks for them and your support of the O's!</p></p></p>

  4. We do have a rough schedule up ahead with offenses (Oak, Bos, Tor) that like to make pitchers work, well honestly not sure if Toronto makes pitchers work the way the A's and Sox do but in any case they are great offensively so I kinda assumed they did. So yeah, this was especially bad timing for Gonzo to go down, although there is still a small chance he'll avoid the DL. At least his injury is not considered serious. Also, when Johan is ready to come off the DL, and assuming he looks as though he can contribute based on his minor league starts, there shouldn't be any problem working him into the rotation. Also agree that none of those options are especially encouraging. Chen, who I believe has good career numbers against Oakland, FWIW, needs to go as deep as possible tomorrow night. Gausman, I don't know what to expect but nothing would surprise me to be honest. If he pitched a great game and held his own against Gray I wouldn't be shocked. If he has another performance like he had against Detroit, that wouldn't surprise me either. Jimenez pitches on Sunday. He walks a ton of guys and the A's lead the league in walks. The only thing I got here is that the last time Jimenez faced a team that like to walk, the Twins, he had his best start of the season. Pretty thin.
  5. I think Norris is considered to be fine. He shouldn't miss a start or need to be pushed back. Tillman, even after tonight, is still claiming to be fine physically and mechanically (at least he said he felt fine mechanically in the bullpen before the game, was just listening to him post game with Thorne). But yeah, I'm not really buying it. I wonder if they'd consider adding Gamboa to the 40-man? Yoon just pitched tonight, so he's out of the mix for the next 4 or 5 days, Santana is not eligible yet, Gausman will be here on Saturday almost definitely... Gonzo is supposed to throw tomorrow before they make a determination but all the talk points to a DL trip, we'll see... EDIT: Hunter will be back in the pen on Sunday, unless they decide to forgo the rehab appearance. So there is another arm.

  7. <p><p><p>Ha ha! I saved that pic after SammyB posted it. <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/tongue.png" alt=":P" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/tongue@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Like two years ago.</p></p></p>

  8. So you didn't like them at all while they were going wire-to-wire because you knew that they were going to "choke" in the playoffs? or You retroactively decided to not like anything that team accomplished in the regular season after they choked in the playoffs? PS - as great at the 97 team was they were no where near as fun to root for as the 89 O's, IMO (and that team choked in the regular season).
