    I sort of don't get Elias's plan

    Suarez needs to go the bullpen and he could definitely help there in a long/middle relief role. Suarez's fastball is averaging 95 MPH this year maybe pitching in relief and can add 2 to 3 more MPH when he needs it.

    I don't doubt his stuff.   I doubt his command.

    Kremer is fine but he doesn’t solve the weaknesses of this team. He is someone that can force Suarez into the pen though and that helps somewhat, although we have no idea if we can really trust him there as of yet.

    I don't trust Suarez at all.   He seems to lose command quickly.

    And somehow Cashman will pull it off. Not Frazier exactly, but a grouping of non prospects for a trade 

    And people have yet to figure out that Yankees prospects are truly overrated.

    Cowser is a better defender than Kjerstad range wise and has a much stronger arm, but Cowser's throwing accuracy has become an issue. Kjerstad is a little awkward out there and his arm is very inconsistent and doesn't have a ton of strength, but he's moving well enough to cover ground and catches everything he gest to. 

    At this point though, Cowser's bat is putting him on the bench.

    I would agree with your earlier post.   Cowser just doesn't seem to have the ability to get to the offspeed stuff consistently enough.   I think he will be alright, but the strikeouts are very concerning.

    It's hard to wrap my head around the sheer stupidity of the players and fans going crazy over unintentional HBP's.  When they hit the most players in baseball and have hit many more of our own players, etc.  And the media tries to stir it up and the Orioles just play baseball and block all that out.  It was perfect that we didn't retaliate, didn't instigate... didn't play those games and just knocked their teeth in the baseball way. 

    Yup.   Let's hope they use it for inspiration.   First off, Suarez had very little command on Tuesday AND Judge was moving into the pitch.  The second one on Torres was Akin...who definitely has command issues on occasion.    Yankees fans and media don't ever look in the mirror.  They've hit FAR more batters than the O's.
