Can_of_corn

AAA is a pitching wasteland.

So was Jeter.

It's control not a guaranteed contract so it's not a bad thing even if they cut him.

I'm not actually a can of corn.

I still rate it above Eloy.

That doesn't fit Roy's Mountcastle narrative so he doesn't remember it. He's got 11 RBI and an OPS of 978 over the last week.

In general I try to not worry about who was given up. Not unless I think a trade is particularly meaningless. For instance I complain about losing Heim because I didn't see the advantage of trading for Pearce. But I've never worried about Erod because Miller was a great piece to add. The O's needed more starting pitching so someone had to go.

Sure. Then say that. I don't like citing All-Star designation is if it's particularly meaningful.

I'm not.

What three elite pitchers were available?

I was just trying to put "2021 All-Star" into proper perspective.

Machado can't lay off the slider.

I was specifically going for guys that were all-stars the same year as Rodgers. For the O's, the pity All-Star was Mullins.

We all know I'm not a big Elias defender and I didn't love the trade. I just don't see it as an unforced error.

Adam Frazier was an All-star in 2021. So was Mike Zunino.

Teams were not real eager to trade the more premium guys. Of the folks that were traded how many are clearly superior? You want him to bring Flaherty back?

Is Rodgers going to get to 5K's tonight?

I think the one guy had slippers on.

Yes, that's very bad.

What about the fourth pitch of the at bat, that outside slider he didn't swing at?

Is anyone declaring the trade a bust? (I'm not counting X).

I'm in my computer chair thank you very much. I don't like the couch, when I'm in the living room I'm on my Chaise Lounge.

It's his fifth ML season. He's 26. Get over the nerves and get outs.

But the price was right.
