Well....huh. We won. Didn't seem like the baseball gods were going to smile on us tonight. O's win! Again.

The baseball devil must have the O's back this year. No way did I think they would win that after leaving so many runners is scoring position

And why PH Davis? He's been terrible lately. And by lately at least a month.

Wasn't there much consternation about the last time Buck sat Davis and didn't use him as a PH late? To be fair, that may have been for one of the catchers, but also earlier in the game. Just seems like the second guessing will happen either way...

G-ddammit, Buck...
I'd rather Del be hitting tonight..
Wow pinch hitting a red hot young for an ice cold Davis?

Questionable....

Yeah, Davis just not very good right now.
Wow Chris looks terrible.

He just can't catch up to a good FB.
Wow, please don't swing CD.

ROFL. I knew this is what I'd find. There was more- but I'm busy celebrating! WOW! Takes guts to make instinctual moves as a manager of a BIG LEAGUE club with so many wannabe sofa GMs second guessing you every pitch thrown.

That's what I'm talking about! From leaving Tillman in yesterday when so many were calling for him to come out- to pinch hitting Davis.

ENJOY THE RIDE folks, and stop nit picking and complaining EVERY TIME something doesn't go our way.

Gotta have faith!

This game was the mirror image of the Yankee game on Friday. I guess they do even out over 162 games. Now they need to continue to pitch well and hit well. Just being a tad more patient at the plate can't hurt.

I feel like ours was a bit more of a roller coaster, considering Ubaldo seemed to have the game a bit tighter than Sale did today (bases loaded multiple times) and we were no-hit through 5 on Friday before clawing back in. Similar, though.

Our's was definitely more of a roller coaster, which actually makes it worse for the White Sox. Also the fact that we basicially demoted Davis for a game and he crushed it in his at bat. Can't believe that happened.

I wouldn't go that far with what we call it. It was definitely a "you're struggling" off-day, though.

    • Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.
    • Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?
    • I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.
    • This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
    • I have it on dvr and I timed it four times. I got 10.75, 10.80, 10.74, and 10.78.
    • This is exactly what EDC said tonight     
    • My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
