Bahama O's Fan

I've wondered why we track the wear on an arm two different ways. In a game, we go by a pitch count, but in a season we go by innings. Shouldn't we use a pitch count for the entire season? 100 innings for one pitcher could mean a whole lot more pitches than another pitcher.

If we decide to sell off at the deadline, would you be interested in a trade of Machado and then try to resign him in the offseason?

Let's see what he does vs some MLB hitters first. Orioles pitchers are usually cursed

Oh, ok. Sorry, I missed that.

Did Arod work out in the end? Wasn't there injuries that caused him to miss a season or two? Maybe we can quantify if his WAR was worth the contract?

It seems rare to me that a free agent acquisition ever ends up being worth the contract they receive. Can ya'll remember many that did? Maybe some small ones, but I am thinking the really big ones, like top tier?

Forgot divisions. Balanced schedule. Best eight teams make the playoffs. Play each other according to seeding by record.

So what does all this tell us? Pitching is fickle; don't spend much on it? Stockpile way more arms than you ever think you'll need? Get good insurance for pitchers' contracts?

Is there a market for Trumbo? Are there any contenders needing a 1B/OF/DH slugger? I'd take a bag of balls back just to get out of the contract.

Get hot Mark, so we can trade you.

With all the issues we have had lately, we are still only a half game back.

Now here is something I didn't think I would say years ago, but he is becoming very valuable for his defense.

Has Castro pitched yet?

And if he doesn't, we put him on waivers, no harm, no foul, nothing much lost. If Dan only hits on one out of a dozen of these type of signings, it still makes a big difference.

I wonder how these types of things go down. Did Dan notice this guy and go to Colorado? Were they on the verge of taking him off their roster and called up Dan?

Hopefully we do not have too many more posts in this, because we won't "need" a bunch more.

We need to gain some ground. Lose Toronto!

Texas?

We gotta get out July; it's killing us

Should we be worried about them?

Now we need the Sox to lose

All star break is much easier to stomach...

That's only because Buck decided to give them one and start Ubaldo. Should have started Wright and had Worley and Bundy ready to back him up if he got into any trouble.

Really needed this and could use one more win and perhaps losses by Toronto and Boston heading into the break
