LMAO! Gregg fought like such a wus! Sure know how to end a game. I say we fight every game! Were not gonna win anytime soon. Maybe this got Peter Angelos attention and he notices were on a 5 game lose streak and might cut/move someone. Ps Gregg sucks at pitching, SUCKS. Thank you.:laughlol:

Um...Captain Chaos got the out...he's been pretty solid most the season believe it or not...He has NOT been the PROBLEM. He's never been a true closer anyways. he pitched himself into that role in Toronto, and sadly enough we bought it...he'll be replaced next year I'd bet. He'll become a set-up guy I think when Koji is gone after the deadline and Jim Johnson becomes a starter, which is what I hope happens.

I give the guy credit...tell that @sshole to stop watching the ball and run to 1st base...after Ortiz's HR, he watched it like Bonds or Manny used to back in the day...he's a jackass!

Your right....but isn't good to hear they are not going accept being a door matt at least?

I guess. I think stuff like this is overrated.

We're still trotting out Alfredo Simon tomorrow and Mitch Atkins on Sunday in Fenway, after getting outscored by 3 touchdowns the past 2 games.

That was the most valuable thing Gregg has done for this team all year. When he was acquired, Andy and Buck both mentioned he was the kind of guy who could lead a bullpen. This is what they were talking about. I don't care about the run he allowed. I'm proud he conducted himself as he did.

I'm not sure how this will translate, but here are his last few years' numbers...not far off..we KNEW what we were getting...he's just on a less-winning ball club.

He fought like a guy with a pitching hand. Gregg definitely earned some respect.

Gregg wasn't the wus, Ortiz was. He runs out and then doesn't deliver anything, even after Matt shoved him about 10 ft. hahaha!

Turning Point!!! Watch, this is it. The team will now move with a different vibe. Who knew Gregg was the guy to do it? But he was. This will be a different team now. Watch thew next 2 games versus the sox. This is a new day.

Anyone see the Gregg interview just now? Wow! He just became my favorite guy on this team! (No, not really, but I really appreciate what he said as well as what he did.)

Absolutely...he was spot on! And it sounds like all the players are with him.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      By Flash- bd · Posted

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
