Unless he wins or finishes second in RoY voting.

When I was in Basic they called me Dictionary, or Dic for short. *The preceding was a true story*

I wasn't trying to argue, just stating my view.

I think he can do that in the majors.

I was using the brief-terse definition for pithy. I thought adding in "off the cuff" would imply that I don't consider those comments to be "full of vigor, substance or meaning".

I'll often give a pithy off the cuff comment as a counterpoint to what I view as weak arguments. The idea that Grayson's strong second half ensures continued success is something I don't agree with. I'm a Grayson fan but it isn't that simple in the real world. Some folks don't care for that style of posting.

No. Low 90's for the most part. He was more of a throws hard enough for a lefty type.

I don't think one example means anything more than showing something isn't guaranteed to happen. Which is all I was trying to do.

I'm comparing him with a young pitcher who finished his first season on an up note. I'll also take exception at calling 2010 Matusz soft tossing. Wasn't like he was running it up there in the high 80's.

Naw, I just thought it amusing that you went all round numbers and then exact with the W/L.

Sounds like you are dismissing Bradish!

Buck fixed that!

Brain Matusz- 2010 season: First half- 3-9 4.77 ERA Second half- 7-3 3.63 ERA. Hey, he's trending up! He's looking pretty decent there, finishing strong! 2011 season: 1-9 10.69 ERA A young pitcher having a stronger second half isn't a guarantee of future success.

That's a lot of round numbers.

I blame video games, you throw enough spare parts at the other team eventually they get overwhelmed.

I think pitcher's salaries are going up because the only notable players signing deals are pitchers. Next year Soto will be a FA and we can talk about how position player's salaries are going up.

I'm old enough that twenty years ago doesn't seem all that long.

If you were offered Pepiot for Kremer do you say yes?

If you can put off paying for something without interest it's pretty much always in your best interest to do so.

The O's have a history of their own with deferments. The first I remember was Bonilla.

I'm pretty sure Boras' lips don't move when he texts. I'm not sure about John...

It's not the merch numbers, it's the viewership from Japan.

Maye Gunnar has told Boras not to talk to him about the topic until there was a firm offer in hand?
