The Orioles: Riding regression all the way to the dumpster, according to the Jays announcers.

To be fair, the other announcer was defending the O's. Listening to his half-sarcastic "Ooohh?"'s (as in "Oh, is that so, who doesn't know that, Stupid?!" or "Oh, WTF does that have to do anything?"), I don't think they like each other too much.

Jays announcers calling the last pitch from DOD for the SO a meatball frisbee that Wieters had to drift into the other batters box to catch. If it was such a meatball why was Wieters in the other box while Arrencibia was swinging and missing?

Point they were making was that Arrencibia will swing at anything.

O'Day still on.

Hits LaRouche on the hand

The dumby-one announcer wonders how an O'Day "frisbee" could hurt. The other one points out it was still hitting you on the knuckles against the bat handle at 70+ mph. :rolleyes:

The one guy was defending the Orioles and thinks we will be good. The other guy is a complete moronic, arrogant A-Hole. What is his name? I would like to rub it in when he is shown to be wrong.

This nails it. It was as if he was talking about his much hotter, younger ex-girlfriend and saying there is no way she is better looking than his makeup-caked out, bipolar wife who he just agreed to give millions of dollars to.

      Jorge Mateo 2024

      Great sequence in the 10th where Mateo singled, driving in Westburg, stole 2nd and went to 3rd on the overthrow.  Then Mateo scored on a wild pitch.  I've joined the Mateo fan club, at least as a utility player.  Having Mateo on base has to drive pitchers crazy.

      As someone that was all for DFA’ing McKenna for Hicks last week, I really can’t fault him for tonight.   I’m impressed he stole the base. He sort of had to run there with two outs. He stole it. He just came off the bag. That happens.  The route may have not been the best because he was going to his left and as a RH thrower he was just trying to position himself to throw home. He doesn’t have Vlad Sr’s arm out there. That’s a .01% chance play there.  Our CF depth is pretty thin. I think the only way we DFA McKenna is if Hicks comes here. Kjerstad will be the one to go for Hays. Remember last August when at full strength/healthy Mullins, and only a 26 man roster, we rolled with a 4 man bench of McCann, Hicks, Mateo, Urias/Frazier/Westburg.  Oddly, we’re deep enough into the season, and CF depth is thin, that I’d say there’s a 50/50 shot McKenna doesn’t clear waivers. I don’t know we have the luxury of CF depth to DFA him w/o Hicks in the mix.

      I think they will DFA him. They already did it once. And the fact nobody claimed him means you’re probably right about not starting for other teams.

      I had fun watching the extra innings of this game. That was good TV. Thanks Craig for serving up the evening’s entertainment!

      Yennier Cano 2024

      By Spy Fox · Posted

      We have threads asking for Kremer, Grayson, and Povich in the closer role. Can we acknowledge that Cano is the pretty obvious next man up if Kimbrel is removed at some point? I don’t really care about his 9th inning splits. He’s our best reliever and until he gets a chance and fails I’m going to assume that’s just noise and he’ll do the best job. Tonight makes nine straight appearances with either a Save or Hold. Overall he has held a lead 10 times in 11 chances, and the one miss was a bad outing but still nearly a SV if not for Gunnar’s walk-off throwing error.

      McKenna was finally beginning to grow on me after years of my derision. He's done a few good things offensively. But I think he wouldn't  start for another team in the American League. I would DFA him(they won't) and bring up Hays in LF, Cowser in CF for a while, and Santander in RF. I still think if they give Kjerstad enough at bats, and not just coming off the bench as a PH, he will hit and hit for power....I dont like him getting 4 at bats a week... I think he needs to play. Mullins needs to sit for a few games.He simply cant track the ball all of a sudden.Its almost hard to watch. Maybe he's hurting.
