What if you are getting a pitcher back who has shown to be able to get MLB hitters out and has 2 or 3 years of control? I think I say yes to either. Neither of these guys is going to headline a deal, they'd be throw-ins for an MLB pitcher with years of control.

If they suck today we always have the futures game to watch!

It's a shame Elly does the hand heart thing, that would be hilarious if the gave that to the Yankees. I don't want to get ahead of myself here, though, this will not be an easy game.

He makes an OP and forgets about it and makes a new one.

As bad it sounds in my head as I type this, I think he's lucky it hit him closer to the ear than right off the noggin. I think if it struck him cleanly on the top of the head, he's likely not in the lineup. Tough kid.

Wrong thread!

You forgot the word that goes between those two, you coward!

I think the OP is an interesting one. Obviously, the O's are a much better team with Burnes on it, but for the sake of the experiment, if they did sell him at the deadline, he'd easily get a massive package in return. He's set to make 10-12 more starts in the regular season, they could probably weather that storm and sneak into the playoffs, but that is where he'd really be missed. Burnes would make any true contender probably the odds on favorite, imagine him in the Phillies rotation. Not going to happen, but it's a nice thought experiment.

Hyde said he didn't say anything to Holmes, but was yelling at the 3B coach who was standing with Holmes, maybe he lied, maybe he didn't.

This is his 9th team. The Mariners, Jays, Diamondbacks, Yankees, Phillies, Cubs, Mets and A's couldn't get anything useful out of him. Maybe the 9th time is the charm.

Coulombe to the 60 day IL is also an option.

Mic drop.

Hey, look at you asking questions you know the answer to already!

I'd almost prefer them not getting a ton of attention or being media darlings. It's pretty clear they are all pressing right now and I have no doubt the talent will play.

We've already seen Mateo have an incredibly smart heads up play at 2B this year that nobody dreamed he would have made, I wouldn't say there is no chance he's not covering 1B.

The coin flip option is missing. The correct answer is the one that brings back the best return.

They better win tomorrow because Hyde "showed fire", "defended his players", and "got ejected" and that is supposed to propel a team to victory according to some posters here. It didn't work tonight so it better tomorrow, or I'll need more evidence that a manager getting tossed propels a team to victory.

I'm pretty sure the guy who supposedly reported this refuted that he ever said it or something to that effect in another post. Let it die, it's not a thing.

Bloop and a blast is all we need.

Kjerstad getting hit in the head.

Gunner in the back making sure his hair doesn't get messed up.

You need to stop quoting them lol. My IQ goes down every time you do.

They are going to do something. The trade deadline is weeks away and teams are focusing on the draft this weekend.

Let Holmes walk you, dudes. He'll do it if you let him.
