Except for that Brian Roberts guy. He's pretty good.

Sorta feel sorry for Flaherty. But he's proven to be a good occasional starter too. I think the possibility of the Wild Card after so many frustrating years may be giving B-Rob some extra adrenalin and focus.

I think finally being healthy might have something to do with it ;)

In 2012, Jason Hammel had our only complete-game shutout.

In 2011, Brad Bergesen had our only complete-game shutout.

In 2010, we didn't have one.

In 2009, we didn't have one.

In 2008, Chris Waters had our only complete-game shutout.

I love Brian for most of the rest of this year.

And 100% Flash next year, or Schoop. Love you Brian! Hope the rest of your career goes great.

Yes, of course, but let's give him credit for working so hard to get healthy. I do think the dream of playing meaningful games as an Oriole must have been a big motivator.

Hmm, I guess it doesn't bode well for one's career....

      What is your takeaway from the Yankees series?

      By Emory Eagle · Posted

      I think they’re a good team and I don’t think this was all that one sided of a series.  A couple of those hard hit balls vs Kremer don’t find gloves, and a few of those dinks off Nestor don’t find holes, and could have been a different story.

      From DFA’d to producing like one of MLB’s best hitters: Ryan O’Hearn has found his groove in Baltimore

      The question becomes who is more helpful to the team with Urias and Mckenna.  I know most will say Urias but what has he done the year plus, last 140 games, that would help the team.  He has been worth -.2 WAR  where Mckenna has been worth .2 WAR  So there on the field difference is not much if any.  Urias has a lot of guys that can replace him at 2nd and 3rd.  Mateo, Holliday, Norby, Mayo, Westburg Henderson combination can all play 2nd or 3rd.  Mckenna can play centerfield which is the one position that we seem to not have a lot of options for.  Mullins can do it for sure,  Cowser struggled last year greatly at it.  Hays always has injury issues and his legs giving him trouble again and looked like he lost a step this season, granted sometimes it looks like he can't run around the bases but then makes a nice play in the outfield running things down.  Mateo looks like he can play center but the bat can be a question and most the people on here wanted him let go this off season.  With the questions of Hays injuries it might be better to keep Mckenna around then Urias in the short term and by end of the year I hope both are gone and the younger guys are playing for both of them.

      2 - 0   4 - 2   2 - 0  7 - 2   All cept the last very close. Going to be a year long battle with injuries playing a role as we go. Hope the latter impacts The Evil Empire more than us. We pitched well all series. They almost did. Our defense is better by a long shot. Stanton is coming close to being their Chris Davis. Judge is potentially a beast but I'm betting players his size don't age well (see Stanton) over a 162 game season with the demands put on baseball players. And particularly New York demands. Let's see how we do in their house.

      The payroll didn’t stand out to me during the series. And it’s not something that I generally pay attention during the season. Most good teams tend to have a higher payroll. And ours will increase dramatically soon. I actually tend to root for all players to get paid (regardless of team). They have such a limited window to make generation(s) transforming kind of money. And if the players don’t get it, then it goes back into the owners’ billionaire pockets. I’m certainly not rooting for that!

      Jacob Webb 2024

      I seriously doubt it.  But I’ve argued that Hyde should use Kimbrel no more than 5 times every two weeks, and if he followed my advice (ha ha) that means we’d need a “Plan B” when Kimbrel is not available, and Webb is one of the guys you can use in that role, depending on matchups.
