I mean, of course, SG if we're playing pretend you make that trade 100% of the time. I thought you were suggesting that those players get it done so I voted no based on that.
They wouldn't make that trade. There isn't a chance in hell that they would, the proposal is so ridiculous that in good conscience I had to vote no. We're asking to trade for the best pitcher in the AL for Kjerstad and probably a bunch of nothing.
You shouted from the rooftops that Povich needed to be brought up and now you're doing it for McDermott. You will never be satisfied and there is absolutely nothing "telling" about this game. It's a loss and even when the Orioles were losing 108 games they managed to blowout playoff teams like the Guardians who won 93 games and got blown out by the 108 loss O's 13-0 two days in a row.
When we lost 108 games in 2019 we beat the 93-win Guardians 13-0 on two consecutive days. Even the worst teams run into good fortune. The Orioles won a third of their 54 games (18) by what is considered a blowout win.
I'm sure the deception is what has allowed him to be effective for so long. It almost looks like he's shooting from the hip to me. I don't know if that makes sense.
I'd love to see what they were batting against the Cutter in his first 5 starts or so, it does not look like the same pitch, it's not cutting and just seems straight, especially up in the zone to RHB.
