I am watching the game on espn deportes and i can confirm that Jones isn't in the lineup but i heard the commentators say some interesting things.

1) Jones has been completely taken off the roster by cardenales.

2) Jones leaving the team was a huge surprise.

3) It wasn't Jones decision to leave.

With the earlier rumors today and these developments i think you guys will finally trade Bedard soon. Again this isn't just a taking a day off thing and that doesn't make sense in the 4th game of the championship series anyway. Jones isn't in venezuela right now from what i heard and his team has taken him off the roster.

Thanks for the update Jimbo. This is certainly interesting....

But I'm just gonna keep telling myslef it's nothing, yeah, that's what'll do... not until official confirmation.

So I guess Jones will be in Bmore very soon. I just hope Triunfel is part of the deal as well. Anyone have any info on any other M's prospects playing in Winter Leagues?

As you can tell by my username i am not even an oriole fan but i think AM is going to unload some players very soon. I think this time is for real.

Plus the guy you named your username after, is getting antsy to for a particular second baseman.

I can't stop thinking of an outfield involving Markakis and Jones for the next 10 years... Visions of Triunfel in the middle infield, Wieters behind the plate, Rowell at third, and Tex at first (yea the last one is a stretch, and from all reports Triunfel won't be included either but I have hope). Regardless, I get the feeling the next day or so will shape the next 5-10 years of the birds and I can't help but be excited.

      The committee isn’t very good.

      The craziest thing is I don't normally yell during games because I can just type out my frustrations here. But without it, my expletive laced shouting at McKenna for making such an off line throw, knowing Santander would have most likely made a better throw just annoyed me to know end.  That's the second time McKenna as a defensive replacement has not worked.

      Austin Hays 2024

      Like I said, I welcome Hays back here. I think his upside from the right side is needed. That being said, it’s going to be a really interesting decision if he continues to suck for a while.    The Astros sent down Abreu, who has been a far better hitter in his career, because of his suckitude.

      Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

      1.  Kimbrel was dominant the first 2 weeks of the season. 2. His fastball sat around 93 but his command was plus with both his fastball and his curve. 3. He’s throwing 95 now but with little command. 4. I have no idea what the problem is 5. Neither do you. 6. Is Kimbrel available to be interviewed by the media?   I haven’t seen one comment from him in the last two weeks, maybe longer.  Maybe never.

      He threw a pretty stiff punch at the mound last night. That’s about it. He probably needs the Ubaldo pot hole treatment. There’s not enough consistent low leverage innings going around at the mlb level. Although, I don’t know what a stint in the minors would do other than sharpen his command. He can’t get by with the FB on anywhere near FB counts, and he can’t consistently pinpoint the curve for strikes. Batters are just laying off then teeing off on him.  These dudes pitch their whole life’s so I wouldn’t be surprised if Kimbrel adjusts and incorporates more of a two seamer or cutter. He’s a pro. He’s got to make pro adjustments.

      What do you consider late in the season?   Last September he had a 1.50 ERA.  In 12 IP he had 6 walks and 18 strikeouts.
