I think we've just become so accustomed to high strike out totals in games it just didn't register. That is a pretty impressive uptick.

He almost certainly won't pitch next year, I don't see how a one year deal will build value.

The only pitch that was even somewhat close to the strike zone is the one the Ump called a strike. Nice Hays!

Sure. He was released for a reason. Just glad we got that hot run out of him.

It wasn't a surprise, he'd been drinking himself to death for years. Glad you saw him when he was doing well.

What's Jimmy Buffet up to these days? Too soon?

He's 73.

The Braves have better pitching (allowed fewer runs). The Braves have better hitting(have scored more runs). The Braves have a better record.

Can you set the AI to post in the style of Drungo? Kthanx.

Oh, I'm knee jerk defending Hyde and Elias now? I had no idea.

Just a really bad one to share.

Because the O's fixed him.

I agree. Your assumption not mine. And I can see, judging by your other posts that you wouldn't put much stock in the evidence I provided. After-all if O'Hearn's career data isn't' useful why should you care what Bautista did? Who cares what anyone does for their career, the O's should just trade everyone when they go into a slump and trade for guys that are on a hot streak! O'Hearn has an established history of being VERY bad. He hasn't earned any benefit of the doubt. He should have to keep proving himself. Hopefully it's sustainable, history tells us that it probably isn't.

Oh, so now it was a comp.

Nope, pretty sure your poor framing of your "argument". You make a poor comparison, get called out and then suggest you weren't making any comparison. Why bring up Bautista if it wasn't as a comp?

You are advocating the Orioles ignore all data from before this season. That suggest that you think the current situation is capable of being sustained.

Sure, that's not trying to compare the two players. Right. It was a very poor comparison but yea, you were trying to suggest a similarity between the two.

Well, you are so dim about all of this that it isn't hard to miss your attempt at sarcasm. HE IS NOT A GOOD COMP. He had three seasons with Pit in which he had an OPS+ between 94-96. That's slightly below average, in case you don't know what that stat means. He than had over a full season with the Blue Jays playing at a similar level. O'Hearn had an OPS+ between 65 and 73 in his last four seasons with the Royals. It's not a good comp, it's not even a decent comp. It is ludicrous to toss aside data. Guys go on heaters every year.

Haven't heard that, got a link? Normally MLB players are pretty quiet about contract stuff.

Just FYI he's going to make more than that this year.

Me too. I had a pretty big rant on the draft thread.

Could be, that one isn't that bad either. Of course someone complains about an ump every thread.

It's a must win game for them.

They aren't keeping the pace, they are setting the pace.
