It is just another example of Elias's utmost concern being manipulating service time.

You could just have Kremer available out of the pen.

He's aces in the bullpen before the game. Have you seen him catch warmup pitches?

I'm waiting for the announcement that in light of the introduction of an International draft that the DR complex will be scaled back. Should be in about a year.

It takes effort to close the glove. Try it, your fingers get tired after 100+ pitches.

I think Tillman threw that many in an inning a couple of times.

58

Should only last a week or two.

I sure hope we get to the point as a franchise that we can be happy for our success instead of another team's difficulties.

And yet he still had Mancini batting cleanup. It's easy to move rookies around, the test is how they deal with the vets.

Well yea, but the Rays get to play the Orioles, which makes up for playing the Yankees and Red Sox.

More accurate to say everyone else left XTC.

It's an XTC album. Rather good one.

Sixty pounds ago I was diabetic so probably not so good.

It seems to me like he has another issue of some sort.

I know that is what he had last year. He's supposedly over it. I found a quote last week in which the O's used the past tense in regards to his Myocarditis. Is that what is causing the issue this year? /shrug.

Very treatable? We don't even know what his condition is. How do you know it's treatable?

I think it depends on the situation. I think Buck had substantial input into his roster. I do not think Hyde does. One of Severino and Sisco is on the roster because Elias doesn't want to start AR's service clock. Which one stays and which goes is pretty irrelevant long term.

What are the odds I survive the great purging?

I'm not making any roster decisions based on what won't happen until you get named commissioner and head of the PA at the same time.

It's just crazy that folks think a couple spring training starts at 1B would make any difference. If he had 10 innings at first base this spring would you feel more at ease? 20?

Sure. But give me the choice between dongs and winning or doing the little things and losing, give me the dongs. Also, I don't want to ever see our pitchers "Pitching to contact". Miss bats.

I'd much rather have my team win and teams win by hitting home runs and striking guys out. That is the optimal outcome of an at bat so they should do it as much as possible.
