Kelly might be the toughest of the pitchers we are scheduled to face. It may have just been the Cardinals uniform (which automatically makes everyone better than they probably are), but I watched him pitch last year and he has really good stuff.

On the offensive side, I worry the most (as always) about Pedroia and Ortiz. Pedroia is an Oriole killer who has more RBI against us than against any other team, and he hits .328 career against our pitching. Ortiz is just scary in general. Napoli and Cespedes are also threats, and Nava who has always hit us pretty well.

Boston may not be a good team, but as a collection of individual players they are actually pretty tough.

Absolutely, and Kelly is nasty. This game will be tough. Watched him pitch for the Red Sox and he was flat out dominant that game. He's a future All-Star imho.

Adam is very cold and very lost at the plate right now.Rather have it now than later if I have to have it at all.

You must mean he's not hitting HR's. He's getting base hits, and had the best AB of the game so far for the O's. Sure didn't look lost.

      So give Burnes $30-35 and you still have $23 plus whatever pay increase is approved

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      1) I feel like we could’ve used some veteran star power leadership  2) Money 💰…if need be get a switch hitter  3) I’m standing by sign Burnes …I anticipate 6 or 7 years … Fail or Fall? I expect him to disappoint … In addition to Burnes I’d be looking to extend Eflin  4) I think we have a number of guys leaving … we almost certainly have a pick for Santander and Burnes if Elias fails. Spend some dam money  5) I think they’d approve $200 ish million …. But who know. I’ve come to believe his name should be bargain bin Mike. But I’m willing to wait and see since the new owners may push him to bulk up the team. If I’m Rubbenstein I’d want some star power to have a shot at a WS while I he’s still alert  6) I’m done with the batting coaches … bring in one competent guy. Preach get on base and make good contact over swinging for the moon.    In regards to pitching it’s the rash of arm injuries that has me concerned. Was it a fluke or coaching philosophy. I’ll chalk it up to bad luck but boy we had a lot of it  7) I think Gunnar is the guy you go after… if it’s a no …you can early extend Westburg. I’d want to see Adley rebound. If the front office is confident he will maybe you extend him now.    8.) I’m fine with McCann but perhaps we need a C3 with the way we regularly play both. 9) I’m fine with what we have if everyone is healthy this coming year and Felix is ready to roll from the get go. I believe he makes Cionel, Cano, Dominquez , Coulombe and Soto better. If you want an upgrade then I guess you can trade some as depth   10)I think he likes to take shots on lottery tickets… I don’t think it’s out of the box for him. Holliday depends if your moving Mullins along.

      This years playoff lose does not reach the top 5 in terms of pain for me. 1.   When the Jet beat the Coltsin the 69 Superbowl.  Now that is pain. 2.  Mets beat the heavily favored O's in the 69 WS 3.  Pirates beat the O's in 71.   Family my ass. 4.  Jeffery Maier robs the O's in the 96 Championship game vs the Yankees 5. Cleveland's Tony Fernandez  homers off Benitez  in the 11th to beat the O's 1-0 in the 97 Champion Series. Love the O's.  This years lose was not has bad as any of those.
