Guthrie got ahead of the first two batters this inning 0-2, and got them both out. :)

Guts is taking solid ownership of his nickname tonight. Maybe he reads the OH and got mad at his lack of showing being due to not wanting to be traded? Maybe he is a little pissed?Wouldn't that be something to see?

Steve, upon further review, you were probably right about my thread being tacky the other day. I was just overly excited about Andino getting such a clutch homer. I'll try to use better judgement in the future.

No biggie dude, did not even follow up on it, just a gut feel. No hard feelings, meant no harm either.

    • I want to say, I thought the single he pulled on a good FB in on his hands was as impressive as the long homer he hit on a center cut FB.  Getting to those pitches in on the hands is tough.   Like I said though, I’d like to see more progress on change-ups and breaking stuff.    
    • I can appreciate where you are coming from. But the playoffs are more than luck. It’s about top talent performing against other teams top end talent. The Astros didn’t do all that winning because of luck (cheating aside lol). The Yankees teams of the mid to late 90’s were more than lucky.  We have the kind of talent (both on the field and in the front office) and we took the extreme tanking step in order to amass dynasty/multi-championship level run. Just simply making the playoffs and getting eliminated early, while you continue to be cheap and overly cautious (if that is what was to happen) will get old after awhile. There is a reason that the Rays and Guardians don’t have a significant fanbase/marketplace engagement for a reason (beyond being a small market). STL is a small market and the Padres were until recently, when their ownership changed and decided to spend to engage the marketplace and grow fan interest.
    • Did I hear Kevin Brown correctly today - did he say the average attendance across all games in the league yesterday (06/15) was north of 39K?  That is impressive,  if true. 
    • Another nice start, hope everything is good with the Burnes family.
    • How many pitchers do you think will be available that are also worth having?  How many other teams will also be after them?  There will be serious competition for the handful of players the Orioles have any use for and there's no indication that there's anything like a buyer's market out there. While it's technically true that Elias doesn't have to do anything, should the team continue to play at the current level and he decides to do nothing so he can continue to hug prospects, then I wouldn't want to be him if the O's get booted from the postseason as ingloriously as they were last season.  None of this means Elias has to make a dumb deal, but let's not pretend he's automatically in the driver's seat.
    • I don’t think anyone hates Cowser. Or dislikes him.    Criticism and pointing out flaws in someone’s game aren’t negatives. For me, Cowser has been one of the pleasant surprises of this year, but he does have his warts. He strikes out a lot and he looks prone to being in nasty slumps.    That doesn’t mean I hate the guy or I’m negative about him, but some struggle with nuance.    You can see where he can become a very good hitter and his defense is excellent. 
    • I'm guessing that would be Luis Robert Jr.
