It's not but he's been remarkably consistent for 3 years now with 2.8, 2.6 and 2.0 (and counting fWAR). He hasn't really outperformed his FIP by much in those years. There is nothing sexy here, but he'd probably be our 2nd best starter this season. I hope they do better, personally.

Today was the 7th day of the concussion IL, he was injured on the 13th and it is retroactive to the last game you played prior to the injury. He should be available tomorrow, I believe.

I'd hate to see Norby in a Jays uniform for the next 6 years.

.944 OPS at Norfolk.

I think the money makers think he's turned a corner and is going to catch fire for the second half. I have no idea, I don't bet, but I was just looking at the odds. I think Gil is taking a hit because nobody knows how long he's going to pitch this season or get shut down if Cole stays healthy.

I mean, they are 5th in pitching now, not 1st like they were for a couple of months. It's good, but they still pitch worse than the Yankees who have a terrible pen and rocky starters. The Sox ERA is 3.63 the O's is 3.68. They aren't being carried by pitching right now, they are hitting.

Langford is the money favorite, followed closely by Gil. One site lists Cowsers best shot at +550, the other two +1,100, 1,200.

Burch for closer!

Burch, keep the run differential intact.

How long do you leave a starter out there in the 9th before you feel like he's gotten enough work?

Those 2 HR's weakened that bat.

Sure looks like they upped the ante.

Gunnar feeling Tony about to walk over his HR lead and swinging for the fences.

I wonder if the Rangers throw a position player.

That's a great question. I wonder what Bazz gets.

He deserves it, and hopefully, fans that appreciate him.

All the receipts one can want are in the Santander thread that DirtyBird started, I suppose. They dogged him hard like they've never seen him play before in the colder months.

I'm going to miss Tony Two-Times Taters when he leaves. He's my favorite Oriole. What a great rule 5 pick he was.

I've been telling people since May to take a Xanax, he's going to do his thing.

Westburg has looked atrocious at the plate lately.

Bullpen will come in and dick up the run differential.

That's 15 straight starts of 6IP.

Exactly, which is why I found it so curious Roy thought he wouldn't go 6.

Never finishing 6!
