This.

Could've been worse. Could've been better. I'll take it.

Don't. Overthink. It. This reminds me of when they were debating whether to take Adley or not.

Well, I trust Elias and Sig's computer more than the sons pulling the strings due to $$. Still hoping for Jones.

Right. You take BPA in Jones, and then you can still get overslots - that's why the number one pick gets the most draft money allotted to it. In the back of my mind, I just assume they will mess this up primarily because the Angeloses are cheap and pathetic and Elias's hands are tied.

I just wish the Orioles could do the easy thing and take BPA with Jones. They don't need to overthink this...

Right. And they just swept the Red Sox in a four game series, after the Reds had swept the Rays. Baseball is crazy. If we can go 4-3 against the Rays in the next seven, I will be pleased.

Absolutely on Santander for Snell. Snell was a top pitcher in the AL East just two years ago. Not saying no to the other deal right away, but would have to think long and hard about it.

This is what you and I and a few other posters have been preaching since day 1. You can buy and sell.

Agreed.

We've also had extremely close wins during the 7 game winning streak that have involved good fortune. The close games thing is a wash for me, at best.

Without looking anything up, I seem to remember the Red Sox being buyers a nd sellers when they traded Lester for Cespedes, but also traded a bunch of other guys for prospects.

At first I was going to say heck no. But this is actually reasonable. Bring up the kids if ready (I agree on Vavra) and see if you can get a starter or two for some "spare" parts (not sure you can, but worth looking into).

Wow. Mullins wins it. Becuase, sure.

Chirinos is up 2-0. Take the strike high in the zone. Tough pitch to bunt.

I mean, Matt Moore is pitching again...

Okay, no messing around. Let's win it here. Bunt with Chirinos? Or bat Hays/Mountcastle?

sigh

Just walk Lowe. No shame in doing it.

Baseball's funny... Odor ties it.

Nah, he'll just flail at three straight pithces to end it.

Vespi, Odor, and Hyde for bringing Vespi in, costing us this game. Incredibly frustrating, yet so typical of this team.

Deadline? He needs to have his locker cleaned out before tomorrow's game.

Yup. We've been fans of this team long enough. They can't have too many good things happen to them. It's just impossible.

Ouch.
