vs. RED SOX, 6/24

[Reboulet'sStache]

He wasn't below average last year. All I am saying is he isn't going to lose his rotatio spot based on how he pitched tonight.

Norris was a less than 2 WAR pitcher last year, which means he was below average. Which is what he has been his entire career basically. He has two pitches, that allow him to get through a lineup 2 times if they are working. And then he gets hit. That's who Bud Norris is, and that is who Bud Norris will always be.

Orioles have a good chance tomorrow .Red Sox are wounded.

If he only had to throw 20 pitches, he could.

I don't know...i don't see it given he is walking after this year. I think They might need that bullpen slot to remain flexible shuttling the Norfolk guys than experimenting with Bud. And Tillman may ultimately have to go to the pen. I would be more inclined to DFA.

He was below average. 4.22 FIP and 1.9 rWAR. Below average.

Travis Snider WAR this year is 1.6, all I need to know about how flawed that stat is. Gonzo FIP was much worse.

Is it me or...

FFWD to :25 secs

Big Train! Bad assest delivery ever. Slings it!

Orioles have a good chance tomo5.Red Sox are wounded.

And O's do not have Norris or Tillman pitching.

[eddie83]

That's even worse, IMO.

Very true.

Great experience for Givens.

Their starting pitcher isn't wounded though.

Well I was right about seeing him tonight.

Glad he is getting a chance to show what he can do.

I am hopeful he is a key component to next year's bullpen.

Because you don't Snider is good, the metrics must be wrong. Sounds about right.

Nice job Givens. Very nice to see. Cueto's deception mixed with O'Day's arm angle. I like it.

He didn't get hit tonight. Sloppy inning. Our entire staff can't go deep into games.

I remember reading a long time ago about how his delivery made it easy on his arm, that's how he was able to throw so hard for so long.

Counting stat. 1.6 could be 3.2. Worth over $16 mill.
