Someone said Buck is sick or something, he could just have malaria.

IN the 17 inning game, Buck refused to bunt in no less than three situations. He has a clear aversion to bunting. Perhaps because this team is leading the league in the long ball. But still, he can't fall in love with the long ball. Who knows, with #4 hitter Jones at the plate, he might have even reached base...

You could make an argument that running Markakis opens a hole on the left side that would be easy to poke one through with how hard he was throwing.

It's not a good argument, but I can at least see the logic, even though I still consider it a completely idiotic move.

Sorry no logic, Wieters is a power guy not a slap hitter.

F this S. I'll settle for being chided if the Orioles come back, but they've been bad enough tonight to make me not give a flying fark at a rolling doughnut.

Johnson, Betemit, and Davis up for us. Don't hold your breath on a comeback.

    • Why was only Judge mentioned if it's obvious? Don't make stupid omissions don't get obvious fact checked.
    • Wieters had a career fWAR of 15.5. Adley is at 14.3 in less than 3 seasons. Its Adley…by a mile.
    • Santander is a low OBP, poor BA, mediocre fielder with very little base running value player.   He has great power and can carry a team. He’s a really good dude, solid in the clubhouse and a great representative for your franchise. In many ways, he is exactly like Trumbo even if he is the better player.  And even if he doesn’t fall off as dramatically as Trumbo did, he’s still very likely to fall off.    For what he will cost, you can bring in some solid pitching. Next years offense, barring any trades, should look something like this: 1st-Mayo, 2nd- Holliday, SS- Gunnar, 3rd- Westburg C- Adley OF- Kjerstad and Cowser Basallo potentially ready by midseason or so. That leaves you with decisions on Mountcastle, Mullins and OHearn and I guess Santander. You need to get right handed. Mounty is a righty but unless you are moving Mayo to the OF, you need him to play first. Do you keep Mounty around to be a 1st/DH if Mayo is also going to play the OF?  Maybe. Some RH bats to consider: Tyler O’Neill. Having a really nice year.  Strong arm in the OF but struggles out there otherwise. Not a great fit for OPACY LF. JD Martinez: Still can hit but zero versatility. In a game that values that, do you want to sign someone who doesn’t give you any?  On the Os, it may be ok but I tend to doubt they would. Duvall: Good defensive player. Abysmal with the bat this year but was very good last year. buy low guy who could provide some bench value. Robert: Been awful this year and had injury issues in the past. WS have already said they will trim payroll after this year. There are very few ways for them to do that, especially since Benintendi has no value. Robert will be made available. Great spend, very good in the OF and still a tremendous offensive upside. He will cost a lot less to acquire than last offseason.  The Os reportedly were interested in him before. Teams like the Dodgers and Mariners were linked to him at the deadline. There will be competition for him and maybe the Os don’t have the same depth to trade out of that they did in the past, so it may be tough but they should look into it.
    • Captain obvious enters the room
    • Gunnar got his 20th SB the other day.  I was curious and looked at his sprint speed vs Ohtani.  His is 28.8 vs 28.1 for Ohtani.  It made me appreciate even more Ohtani’s 50SBs. 
    • Please do.   Zero people have said don’t spend money. You are lying. 
    • I see we now have 23 people that have lost their mind. 😂 well, I don’t think they’ll be a 24th.
