vs. ATHLETICS, 8/15

JJ probably doesn't need to face this type of pitcher.

Or lately any pitcher.

Hardy has been awful lately.

2 for his last 27 and no extra base hits.

And his defense and throws to first base have been less than spectacular.

Not good.

Day off tomorrow with the day game?

Buck says lots of stuff.

A guy could make a good living parsing it.

Here's the quote:

Showalter said: "We like Zach Davies but we think we have some pitchers better than him in our system, ahead of him. What do you think about the movement on his fastball? He's probably going to pitch in the big leagues, I don't know if he'll be impactful. But Mr. Parra has a chance to play for us for the next seven or eight years."

Wait for his walk year, said the cynic.

[Going Underground]

Do you think Buck and DD will come out and say we have no chance of signing any of these guys? Bad PR.

I really hate Bassitt. Would love to see us win this game.

He's not that great. Mediocre K/BB ratio. Very low GB%. Gets by on an extremely low BABIP and HR/FB%. He's not bad. But not as good as his ERA.

I should do a game thread intoxicated.

Wouldn't that be fun for everyone?

Always works for me! :beerchug1:

[Going Underground]

ok, let's win this thing.

It is in the bag.

[Jonesy10]

The Jays BP has even been rocking it. That isn't good.

Their BP actually has pretty good peripherals. They're not too bad. But their pitching as a whole lately have been helped in large part due to an extremely low BABIP and HR/FB%. Buehrle, Dickey, and Estrada are all way out performing their peripheals as well. There's a lot of room for regression there.

I see him maybe getting a three year deal.

Talking about him playing for the O's until his age 35 season is ludicrous.

Buck went with a long time frame since that is how long Davies will be under team control.

Hasn't intoxication played a part in your vacations? :slytf:

You trying to set me up?

I think the Orioles sign Parra to a lifetime contract.

[Can_of_corn]

I just felt the needle move!

[Going Underground]

Should the Orioles sign Reimold to a 5 year 75 million contract? Too low?

[Uli2001]

Reimold just can't center much anymore.

I am not watching but I am guessing the 3-1 pitch was right down the middle and he popped it up.
