I can't wait to sse him pitch after the Hyde comments.

Hyde is using him perfectly right now. I think he likes playing everywhere. He won't get bored.

I llike this pick up and am willing to let the staff try to fix him. Nothing to lose !

What can you say about Dean Kremer today but WOW ! Fantastic effort and incredible major league debut.

I am really disappointed in Williams who I've always liked. He looks totally lost at the plate and should be sent down..

I said a week or so again I thought our Pitchers were not pitching enough innings due to our catchers who are behind the plate the most. I think Holoday shoud be behind the plate more. I hope he catches Kremers next game and a few more the rest of the season.

Glad he is finally with us. Hope he continues his strikeouts in mlb. TheYankees have been striking out a lot in this series. Lets hope it continues today.

Another sleeper pick up bu Elias. I think he is another guy who can be turned around with a few minor changes.

I think the addition of Fredi Gonzalez as bench coach has been huge this year. I hope we can hold onto him. Jose Iglesias singled him out in a postgame interview a week or two ago; When asked how Hyde compares to other managers he said Fredi Gonzalea and him both are good to play for.

Easy drive from Bowie. No big deal! We need to get Kremer 3 or 4 starts before the end of the year. He could be in the rotation next year.

I could not have said it better. He gets the job done and it appears Hyde likes him.

What can you say? Impressive!

I hope its Kremer.

I guess the credit goes to the improve bullpen.

Thank you for letting us know..

Lopez and Valdez pitched well.. Another nice game by Mountcastle.

Finally ! Hyde will celebrate tonight.

I agree ! Too many off days it seems.

They made my day. I am a Herrera fan and felt he should have been on the opening day roster. Much better than Velasquez.who can't hit.

This may rank as one of the worst home plate umpired series of all time with consistently missed strike calls that appeared on the line of the electronic zone. It became laughable after the second game. Even Bordick could not make excuses for the umps. As I told a friend the Jays must have given the umps free dinner night at the best restaurant in Buffalo for all of the two strike at bats that became ball fours instead of strike threes and ended up hurting the Orioles. If the head of the umpires reviewed each game in this series they would understand the need for an electronic zone.

And almost let another one slip away at the end.

I don't think anyone will ever know why Elias embarrassed us with his Villar trade. It was embarrassing to the team to make such a ridiculous trade. Was he falling asleep late at night when he did it? Had he just had an argument with one of the sons about paying him and gave him away to save money and be a jerk? Did we ever hear Elias's explanation about why he made this deal.? Any of us on here could have made a better deal than this one that may rank as one of the worst ever made.

I never said he was being punished. Just explained what happened earlier. Our manager doesn't punish guys..

Alberto had a ground ball to him in short RF. Akin was pulled prior to that with runners on 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs in a 1-0 game. All Alberto had to do was throw a strike to 1B to end the inning and hold the 1-0 lead. He like a lot of our infielders throws a 3/4 arm toss that sailed about 2 feet over Nunez's head. Ridiculous ! The players looked at him like WTF. 2 errors ? He has screwed up before at 2B. I guess they didn't give him errors..

Another Elias steal.
