Billy Beane isn’t the GM anymore. He’s only a Senior Advisor these days. -
Quite a lineup Billy Beane has put together. -

Wondering if Norby playing in the outfield now has the O’s bringing him up against lefties playing lF or RF? Anyone seen him play the outfield? -
This whole notion of “playoff starter” being some sort of special tier for which average pitchers need not apply continues to get so overblown here. Again, just looking at last year, the Diamondbacks had Brandon Pfaadt start 5 playoff games for them. No one would consider him a “playoff starter.” They also twice used an opener (Joe Mantiply) and had bullpen games. In the playoffs. But there they were in the WS anyway. The Rangers had Andrew Heaney start 3 games in a piggyback with Dane Dunning. They also gave 3 starts to Max Scherzer’s mostly disembodied right arm. But there they were standing at the end anyway. Some other guys who started playoff games last year: Jose Urquidy (x2), Bailey Ober, Bobby Miller, Braxton Garrett, Lance Lynn, Dean Kremer, Bryce Elder. And that list would be even more raggedy looking if more teams had made it deeper into their opening series. No, Albert Suarez shouldn't be anyone’s Plan A as SP3, nor should he be Plan B or even Plan C. He wasn’t ours, and I don’t think he’s even our Plan D(ean). And there’s a good chance Elias will try to seek out an alternative Plan E at the deadline. But if we land on Suarez as SP3, backed up by someone like Irvin or Povich, we’re still going to have every chance to compete with anyone. It’s not a disqualifier. How many high-end SPs do we have to beat this year before folks accept that the identity of the starting pitcher is only one part of the winning equation?
