Not true.

Indians.

Elias will only pull the trigger if it is the only way to secure a top draft pick.

Any trade in which the O's no longer have to pay Cobb is a trade with a good return.

Because it's so small they don't have instruments advanced enough to detect it? ?

Except, ironically, the folks that actually ran track, which explains why times are faster now.

That happens to you a lot doesn't it?

Everyone know if you got a guy with a weak bat that can bunt you bat him #2.

Anyone see what Yadier Molina posted recently? Warning contains a profanity. Some sort of action needs to happen right? Or, since it's a big star and not some young guy, will he get a pass? Full disclosure, he's already tested positive and is now cleared. I still think it's a very bad idea to post this even if everyone involved has had it and been subsequently cleared.

When drafted they said he had the best bat speed in the class. I can believe it.

They've got a kindle edition that is a two in one. I have it on Audible.

I think that if Elias wants Akin in the rotation and Hyde wants him in the pen he's going to be in the rotation.

You don't think it was intentional?

You? Mentioning draft pedigree? What has the world come to?

Yep, I'm converted, if they had brought him up even a week earlier he wouldn't have any of those walks. He clearly had an epiphany at Bowie and I'm expecting at least 100 walks from him next season.

Just wait until they promote Austin Martin for the stretch run.

I can't help feeling that the time to trade Givens has passed. I don't know when or to whom, but at some point I think either Dan or Mike got an offer that is better than anything Mike will get going forward and they decided it wasn't good enough.

It is kinda sweet how some left handers can have a balk as their signature pickoff move and yet it never gets called.

What I love are weak ground outs to second and the infield fly rule being invoked. Much more exciting than a homerun or strikeout. Man I love me some infield fly rule. Anything to inject the umps into the game is fine by me.

Travel is a lot less arduous this year. No west coast swing for instance.

I'm curious if, overall, home/road records are going to be different this year. Do the fans help their team win?

Nice sequence against the rook there.

Do you pitch to Mountcastle here? I don't throw him a strike.
