Ubaldo, God!!. We have had plenty of pitchers who do that number of immediately, and I mean immediately, giving up leads right back to the other team. It is depressing that this guy will just be given the ball every turn for three years irrespective of how bad he might pitch.

Yep. 1 run in 4 innings is terrible for a pitcher... Yeah our pitchers have had a lot of bad starts but it's pretty dumb to say stuff like this every time a pitcher gives up a run when he's pitching well.

He gave up a solo HR to a good hitter.

That is the only hit he has given up out of the infield all night.

He is not pitching badly. What do you expect, a shutout every time out?

James Shields started for KC tonight. St Louis has 7 runs.

Tim Lincecum started for SF tonight. Cincinnati has 8 runs.

Jaime Garcia started for SL tonight. KC has 6 runs.

Gavin Floyd started for Atlanta tonight. Seattle has 5 runs.

Yovani Gallardo started for Milwaukee tonight. Minnesota has 4 runs thru 3 innings.

Our opponent has up 1 run in 4 innings and the board is full of nothing but complaints about how bad he is.

It's truly pathetic.

Video replay itself isn't bad... this current implementation is. Like has been said before, it needs to be changed... either the managers have to challenge immediately and not stall half of forever, or they take a fifth umpire and have him auto-review the close plays for 10-15 seconds and overturn obviously wrong calls. The way they have in set up now seems designed to take as long as possible, and it can be agonizing.

We have had this discussion. The dark side has prevailed. I wouldn't have to change it, because I wouldn't have implemented it. IMHO, You can't change it in a way that does not lengthen the game and lead to nonsensical things like managers stalling, video guys on teams etc.

This. The offense has been awful 4/5 games going into this one, and only have 1 in 4 innings tonight. They look good but that doesn't mean much if you can't score runs. Just need to get the job done.

The O's have just 1 run over the past 4 innings? Holy smoke! I didn't realize they had gone that many innings with just 1 run! I'm switching to the Yankees. I realize now how hopeless the O's are. Thanks!

The Red Sox scored some runs. WHY CAN'T WE!

    • This seems to be happening quite frequently around the league. Which makes me rethink the idea of giving players early extensions in their young careers. Baseball is a difficult game and no season in a player's career is exactly like another.  Baseball is a volatile game. There's so many things that can happen to a player's habits and mechanics that can change his results in the game. (Speaking of no season being the same, how many batting stances did we see Cal Ripken Jr go through over the course of his career? ALOT.)
    • No. And having said that, Basallo is not known for his defense as a catcher either. He's known as a power hitter. Adley is by far the better catcher. Basallo has been compared to Yordan Alvarez of the Astros. Great hitter. He's in the lineup for his bat and you just hope he can play adequate defense. Any expectations of him usurping Rutschman as an every day catcher is wishful thinking. He could still develop as a catcher because he's young, in which case he could become something like the Royals' Salvador Perez. But I would in no circumstances trade Basallof for Chrochet.
    • If it turns out that Bradish is done for the season or has to spend extended time on IL,  might the O's make the move to sign Trevor Bauer?  He's pitching very well in the Mexican League.  Wouldn't surprise me to see some team sign him between now and the trade deadline.  Just askin...    
    • I wouldn't put it past the O's offense to carry them in a similar way. But I wouldn't want to count on it, either.  (For reference on the difference, looks like Texas scored 5.71 runs/game during the postseason last year. The O's are at 5.07 runs/game this season.)
    • Totally 💯 agree with you . The problem is agents like Boras are asking 8-10 years deals with pitchers opt-outs sprinkling in them .  
    • I'm hoping the PRP injection wasn't just buying Bradish a few months only delaying the inevitable Tommy John surgery. If Bradish ends up going under the knife there's a decent chance we won't see him again until 2026. Bradish was throwing really hard tonight so I'm hoping it's just some soreness from overexerting himself and he'll be fine with a little time off. This isn't encouraging and Elias is going to be busy working the phones for pitching help the next 45 days.
    • Thats why its nuts to sign a pitcher for 8-10 years...they break, all of them, eventually...
