You know it's stupid to just use Hunter for one batter. And what do you know. Hunter got Navarro to GIDP.

1. Hunter shouldnt have been in at all with his tendency to give up the long ball, a hitter with power up, playing in a homerun paradise, and the fact that cabrera hits 70 points lower as a riggr handed hitter. Then you have a lefty in navarro after him. The best option was miller regardless of outcome

2. Yes hunter did get the dp, and kudos to him, he came through huge. Hindsight is 20/20 and regardless of the outcome it was not a good decision by any means when all things considered.

Oh come on. I have my first high school reunion next year. It's not like I have no memories of Ripken, Mussina, Anderson, and Alomar.

The '89 team made me fall in love with the O's. I was attending average 50 games a year in '90, '91, and season tix in '92. You were in kindergarten. Lemme have my "old" comment. :P

Okay I agree with you that Hunter shouldn't have been in but he was in and it would have been dumb to remove him after one batter is my point. No real argument about him being the wrong guy to have in the first place.

    • He makes $43 million this year. The Mets are paying $21 million of that. I don’t think we pick up the remaining $10+ post deadline for 10-12 starts. It would just depend on what Texas would ask for to pick up the tab. 
    • Haynie on 105.7, has been beating the Luis Robert drum for months on the O’s pre game show. So I think that’s why people like the idea of Robert. Robert also is always hurt.  We need a bat. Probably a RH bat to DH in the playoffs versus a LH SP. That bat is Mayo. It’s just hard to get Mayo up before September when we get the extra roster spot. 
    • Holliday went 1 for 2 with 3 walks on Friday night. 2024: .444 OBP, .911 OPS MiLB Career: .447 OBP, .931 OPS His OBP is EXACTLY what this O's team needs, would fill a key offensive weakness at 2nd base, help grind opposing pitching, and magnify the power up and down the lineup.  It's all dependent on his ability to throw and play 2B at a passable level. If Holliday starts to hit at the ML level, the question of who bats leadoff is over for the foreseeable future and we can go back to complaining about 1 slumping hitter or backup catcher at the bottom of the lineup.
    • This. We literally have no lineup holes right now, and Mayo, Norby, Jax lurk. Any trade discussion should center around the four most essential and crucial elements to O's success for the balance of the regular season and playoffs: 1. pitching 2. pitching 3. pitching 4. damn, forgot the 4th one. oh yeah, its pitching.
    • All I know is that Suárez has earned at least one more start, after today.
    • Scherzer still looks like a guy who would be a nice add to our rotation in the second half if the Rangers are sellers. 
    • Not happening. I don’t disagree, but Kremer will be slotted in the rotation.
