Does anyone think for a moment that our octogenarian owner would not spend some money to be a hero to Baltimore in his lifetime? I just don't think he realizes how good this team is. I never said he had baseball smarts.

I think the moment has passed. The economics of the current game are beyond him. Remember he had no idea what type of cash cow MASN was going to be.

You are wrong in so many ways. But hey. Free country.

I know you have more info just saying they sent him down to make the playoffs yet they let Arrieta start this game. However if they can keep him down i think three starts it gives them another year of control. This is the same thing with Will Myers from the D-Rays. I don't blame them for doing it if it keeps him another year and saves 9 million or so at the end of the contract. The prediction for Super two is 115 days or so. Myers comes up with 108 days left.

And Davis swings at balls 2,3, and 4. Our offense has been pathetic tonight. They actually looked fine against Scherzer, but as has been a problem as of late they perform terribly with RISP. And now they are making Smyly look unhittable. And Wieters is absolutely terrible. He needs to be firmly cemented into the 8th spot but Buck is too scared to mess with his ego. He really shouldn't have an ego, at least offensively, considering he's below average for catchers offensively, let alone compared to all other players.

    • There have been 2-3 times when it seemed logical to call him up but they don’t.   I’ve never understood this thing they have for Baker.  Hey, Cole Irvin is available again!!
    • While we lost some talented players, I think the consensus was some of the players we lost were actually blocking more talented prospects. The loss of Westburg and Urias should have been mostly offset by Holliday and Mayo. Instead, they were truly abysmal.  Povich had some nice moments but he was disappointing as well.  Maybe our expectations were too high - Elias is not going to hit on every prospect, and even the ones that turn out good may take a while to adjust. Still, I think it is fair to have expected more out of Mayo and Holliday since the organization deemed them ready to promote.  In addition to the prospects, you had Adley hit a wall, going from a 6 WAR pace to replacement level, and Cowser and O'Hearn both struggling.  Certainly injuries hurt us, but we should have been strong enough to overcome them. Maybe not to sustain a 105 win pace but I think it is fair to say we should have been able to beat 95 wins and win the division even with the injuries.  
    • I was wondering what the knee-jerk reaction would be to an ugly game last night, but the truth is that the bullpen is fine, as is the rest of the team. We lack a true lockdown closer, but we have six arms by my count that are very good relievers in Akin, Perez, Coulombe, Webb, Cano, and Domingez. And you can add Suarez to that list next week, and possibly Povich, who should also make the PS roster as a lefty long relief option to mirror Suarez. Anyway, that game could have and would have gone much differently, IMO, if it were a playoff game. Burnes obviously stays in longer and gets at least through the top of the order if not back down to the bottom third to hand it over to the bullpen. Hopefully we'd be able to scratch out some runs, but that's not the bullpen's fault.  This is an extremely good team with a lead. Let's hope we get on the board early and often starting tonight.
    • Boy, Brandon Young who has some decent numbers at Norfolk must be injured or unimpressive to the front office to not even get a look for this bullpen. Bryan Baker is almost a waste of a call up.
    • Povich is off vs Detroit at least. Even if they carry a 9 man pen, Doubt that 5 will be left handers
    • I hate to say it because they are all eligible to succeed or fail ( DC just coming back ), would probally go with Soto.
