Dave Schoenfield wrote a piece today on each team’s “player who doesn’t get talked about enough.”   He chose Mychal Givens for the Birds.   http://www.espn.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_/id/85356/the-playe

The smart thing to do would be maximize that value. It’s something I wish the O’s would have done.

Why? Just guessing, or the fact that he has developed the third and fourth pitches in the interim?

You definitely can speak more intelligently on his repitiore than I. I think success goes a long way in development. He's had a lot of success. Do you think his other pitches are that bad?

I think he has not thrown more than two in four years. And the second one, he throws less than 30% of the time. It's that one, wild, wonderful pitch of his. The best pitch in the majors.

You make excellent points sir. Maybe your right. One can dream he is the answer:) I k ow this much, with Givens, Brach, O'Day and the guy I am not going to mention by name yet because he might get hurt, we have one nice bullpen!

He could close if say, Britton had to start.

Britton isn't starting so it doesn't really matter.

Further, given the current arbitration environment, it is somewhat self-defeating to have Givens rack up saves. He can dominate the hold statistic and it won't do much to his arbitration raises (at least relative to saves).

Matusz is going to have to have a big year for us as a long reliever (sorry for the temporary hijack).

      Mets-Braves tiebreaker?

      By O's84 · Posted

      The Braves currently hold the tie break leading the season series 6-5. Bottom line, regardless of what happens tomorrow, the Mets have to win both games of the Mon. Double header vs. the Braves to get in.

      Looks like the Detroit Tigers

      By Beysbol · Posted

      Detroit is one of those teams that got hot at the right time. I think they have won 6 in a row and were 9-1 in their last 10. I checked yesterday I think, but getting hot at the right time is huge for the Tigers. I think Texas last season got hot at the right time and they were like a freaking buzz saw.    I picked Baltimore to be a wild card before the season started, but had them going farther in the playoffs. I hope these guys can get it done. 🕊️

      With either team as the opponent, the key is going to be us.  At full strength, our lineup is just flat out better than either KC’s or DET’s. Not by a little. By a lot. Witt is unreal, and Perez, Greene, and Carpenter are all really good. But behind those guys, it’s a bunch of mostly light hitters that have had their hot streaks (with DET’s being mostly ongoing) that don’t really compare to the depth in our lineup. If our pitching mostly holds up, we’ll win as long as our hitters do what they can do. Both of those are giant question marks, obviously, and the season will hang on the answer our guys provide. But you really can’t ask for much more than an opportunity to go into a series saying we think we’re better on paper than them and we just need to perform — that certainly didn’t feel like the case last year, with the way the Rangers hit up and down the lineup all season.

      It looks to me like KC is happy to rest and get ready for the Astros with the way they used Witt. The White Sox actually have something to play for...with a win they avoid the worst winning percentage of the 162-game era, although 41-121 is not a lot better than 40-120.  To bad it looks like Detroit can back in at this point with the Braves much more motivated than the Royals.

      Burnes named Game 1 ALWC starter

      Let's just try to win 1 playoff game before we think about a 2nd round game.

      Burnes named Game 1 ALWC starter

      By DrinkinWithFermi · Posted

      How is the extra hitter just "a possibility" for the WC roster? If you can't get through 3 (at most) games with 12 pitchers, you're either doing something wrong or you desperately need to spend heavily on adding better pitchers in the offseason.
