Sure, if streaky hitter only hit good he'd be good hitter. If Mateo could hit like early in the season all the time he'd be an MVP.

He rightfully won't go into specifics.

I'm sure they called. Just like they called the Angels about Ohtani.

It's a results business but what we want as fans and what ownership wants is not necessarily the same thing. Elias doesn't answer to the fans. If they can stay respectable and keep low that might be all ownership wants.

I'm sure they were so close to getting Cease. Just totally almost there.

They still make Jolt?

He was slightly above average (ERA+ 108) in his second year with the team.

I don't like the idea of overpaying even if it doesn't amount to anything in the long run. It's poor process. Not sure who they were bidding against that they had to add a third piece. I guess he felt he had to come away with something so he'd rather overpay a big for a marginal piece over paying for someone more likely to be a difference maker. I bet the Cease talk stayed at a surface level.

Right, I don't want to. Not the same as can't.

Can we get Cano put back into the machine and turned back into April/May Cano?

It's not the best they could do. It's all they wanted to do. I could go out and get a really nice dinner tonight. Or I could go to Denny's. If I got to Denny's that doesn't mean it's the best I could do.

I think you forgot what he did for "us" that first year. 4-3 record, 4.80 ERA, 86 ERA+. worth .1 rWAR.

It is if he keeps pitching like he has since the break.

Just don't let them hit balls to Frazier or Cowser.

Wells is in the bullpen? I thought he was in the minors? Now I'm all confused.

Yea a bit. Nothing the O's can't afford to lose but I'm surprised they had to throw Showalter in.

I was kidding, I used to work in a SCIF.

It's like the Norris deal. Oh we are trading Hoes, cool. Wait, Hader? Wait.....a draft pick?

It's fine. Another low risk low reward move. Sure ain't lift off.

So was Hernaiz and folks still complain.

Have you considered getting a mobile phone? Sure it's not as cool as those car phones, but it's pretty decent.

Would have been a terrible move for that year's team.

Right, I just think his definition of overpay is a bit skewed.
