vs. BLUE JAYS, 5/23

[MDK02]

Pedro has reached Kevin Gregg status IMO.. maybe reactionary but man it's hard to watch.

[srock]

What's the score? I can't see those little numbers from my porch where I'm manning the grill.

[lobo]

Ugghh! Strop needs to go!!

[Tony-OH]

Although Strop was absolutely horrible, this inning is on Patton. How do you walk the worse hitter in the major leagues with two outs? Then walk the next guy so Strop has to come in? I don't know how much longer the Orioles can continue to have Patton and Strop in the pen. They are terrible right now.

I think we can end the Strop experiment now. Buck is loyal to a fault. I'm not sure how you bring in Pedro in that situation, but the bullpen is making Buck look like a fool.

.

On 2 different occasions when I was in the Yankee Stadium bleachers, I had cake and beer thrown at me, respectively.

Both times, all of the Yankee fans cheered when the culprit was ejected by the usher.

Do you think they were cheering that he was ejected or cheering in support of the fan? I'd say the latter.

[Norfolk orioles]

Look you cant keep bringing in the same 2 guys night after night.

If Strop and Patton are going to be on this team they need to be able to be depended on in some cases

My point exactly. Send them packing, they are bringing nothing of value to this team.

[OFFNY]

I am real sad now.

It'll be OK, Weams. Tough game overall.

We'll win tomorrow

[Brooks The Great]

Trade/demote Patton (does he have options?) and release Strop, these two guys walk too many batters to be effective and they are liabilities. Relievers vary so much from season to season, Strop's first half last year was likely a fluke run. Toss him and give Arrieta a look, I am confident he would be effective in Strop's current role.

[Campmoon]

Then who? Hunter is throwing well, how about Buck has him pitch every game till he wears out and sucks?

McFarland?

[OFFNY]

Do you think they were cheering that he was ejected or cheering in support of the fan? I'd say the latter.

No, they were definitely cheering the ejection. I could tell, and several of the people around me told me so, as well (they were annoyed with the culprit, too.)

Amen. Amen.

Let it begin.

[Terpsnation]

Jays fans are idiots.

[mrbig1]

Good start.
