I'm shocked that anyone still had expectations for Carter Baumler beyond him missing time to injury.

You misspelled brisket.

For the team or for the league? Also I said average not bad, the bad teams were out of it by the deadline and had a chance to sell. You can also improve without tearing everything down to the foundations.

Jackson Holliday. I was expecting more than shaky defense at second and a 57 OPS+.

I wouldn't think so, he was probably pretty happy to sign whatever they put in front of him.

I get it, it must suck to go to work every day and not earn your paycheck.

At least he isn't hitting .067. Oops, make that .065...

Of Venezuela?

That's me and Egg Nog. Get one of those paper cartons and I'm good till next year.

It was in the Halloween section. Looked gross. Not sure what, if any alcohol content it had.

I saw pumpkin spice flavored APPLE WINE the other day. Guys, apple is already a flavor of autumn. Just quit it.

Ohtani manages.

In McCann's defense he only took that pitch because Roy wanted him to.

That was quite the cookie he threw Mullins, and he dunked it.

She said they are the third ranked by whomever the heck it is that ranks such things. /shrug. I do get a bit of gossip about the player's wives.

Considering she works in the hospitality depart for the Rays and is pretty proud of the job they do I was surprised to hear her rave about the O's staff.

Already gave the hat away to a Zoomer who calls me her Work Dad.

Just jumping in here to get a few views without starting a thread for a minor issue. The person I know that works for the Rays went with the team on the trip to OPACY. She was very impressed. She said that the O's stadium staff were at least as good as the Rays staff and she was particularly impressed with the Children's section. She also scored me the hat and the jersey from the give aways.

Like I said, you go a decade between competitive teams and you don't have as many chances to see them overcoming adversity.

Was a reference to what the Rays had to deal with last year. Are you also ignorant of what happens with every other team? It was kinda a big deal.

Man I wish Eloy would could hit his weight.

Like I said, they have gone so many years without being contenders that it isn't a shock you haven't seen a team deal with what the O's team has this season. When a 100 loss team has a bunch of injuries a lot of "fans" don't notice as they weren't watching in the first place. Other fanbases have. Not sure how you can be a fan of one team for so long and manage to not pay any attention to the league as a whole. It's an excuse, and a weak one at that. The holding on isn't even impressive, they've been trying to fall out of the race but the Yankees don't want to win the East either. The bar to make the playoffs this season looks to be lower than most years.

If Adley is hurt why aren't they putting him on the IL? Wouldn't putting him on the IL with the goal of getting better performance in the playoffs be the smart move?
