Diving for the ball is the worst thing Jones could've done there. If he dives and misses, it could well end up as an inside-the-park homerun, or an RBI triple at the very least.

Jones kept the ball in front of him and made sure no one scored on the play, and the O's got out of the inning unscathed.

And considering how the ball bounced on the synthetic turf that wasn't as easy as it sounds.

Chris Davis has the kind of visceral, extreme manfulness that is just not deemed suitable for ages <15 in America.

You know, conservative society and all that.

Are under-15s allowed into Hulk and later Batman movies?

      So you think Elias will give up one of the top 3 prospects to get upgrades?

      “Dramatics”? That’s an interesting way of framing my opinion. I promise you I am as calm and cool as a cucumber. There’s no “dramatics” going on here. As you know, numbers fluctuate during any given period of time in the season. Good/great players have bad/cold stretches and bad/terrible players have good stretches. IMO we do not possess the type of top end talent at the back end of the bullpen needed to win multiple rounds against the best opposition in October.  If you are confident in Cano/Kimbrel or worse in Vespi/Baker/Perez/etc getting Soto and Judge out in a big spot late in the game in Yankee stadium in October, that is fine. I am not.  Just as an observer of baseball, Holmes is a much better pitcher than any reliever that we have. I would be much more confident in his talent than any reliever that we have. Now if we had Felix that would be one thing. But this season we do not. And I would hate for a team as good as ours to be held back by not making the needed/necessary move(s) before we get into October.  IMO we did that last season (with the starting pitching) and it didn’t end well. And I acknowledge that everybody doesn’t think like me nor have the same championship expectations/aspirations. Some fans/posters here have stated as much and that they are happy if we have a winning team year after year or if we just make it into the tournament year after year, regardless of results when we get there. And that’s fine. That’s just not my desired outcome. The great thing about this board is that we don’t have to agree and are able to express our opinions.

      Over/under on the number of times we walk Judge and Soto in this series?   10?  Nobody else really worries me.

      I'm going to need photographic evidence the head cheerleader is hot.  This is a totally scholastic endeavor.
