    Another reason I'd be leary of a long Machado deal. He's gotten noticeably bigger and stronger at a quick pace. That and his friendship with A-roid.

    Nonsense.  A man gets bigger from 19 years old to 24 years old.  In addition to his workout routine.  He's innocent until proven otherwise.

    Are we certain Duquette won't trade him for somebody 5th outfielder?

  3. I didn't want him in there for the last inning against three lefties, but man, he was great against them. Hopefully that can build confidence.

    I really like this young man, his stuff and demeanor.

  4. Good summary. It's not just Norris either. Tillman has been inconsistent. Gausman did not advance to the next level. Gonzo got hurt. All that adds up to maybe one #3 starter (Chen) and a bunch of backend guys. Too many holes on offense (JJ, RF, LF) to make up for the lack of pitching.

    Tillman has been unacceptably bad imo. And you're right about KG.

  5. If anything, that 1-9 mark actually understates how bad that one stretch was, since it was part of a 1-12 skein. Truth is, though, we only had one stretch of really good baseball all year, our 18-5 stretch in June. Take away that good stretch (+13) and the one really bad stretch (-11) and you've just got a lot of mediocre baseball. The starting pitching killed us IMO, and we simply couldn't win whenver the offense hit a cold spell.

    You nailed it Frobby.

  6. I'm not getting any younger I want to see the O's in the playoffs. Snider et. al. isn't going to do it for me. Parra might. Who is Davies? The next CY? I doubt he's the next Ed Rod. We need someone who can get on base in front of Manny.

    Are they going to extend him or just leave more gaping holes in the OF after this season?
