Seriously, are we watching the Orioles next closer?

Single wins it.

11 I think. Understandable to want to squeeze another one out of him since that first one went so well.

We have to to keep some guys rested for tomorrow.

What's amazing to me about Givens is that he doesn't look that different from his days as a HS pitcher (except he's much thicker now, with a bubble butt). Maintains velocity much better and execution is better on CH/SL, but the stuff is remarkably similar to what he was already flashing as a HS senior.

We can talk all we want about the SP, whom I have criticized, and the recent BP problems, but we simply don't hit enough. HR or nothing. It just isn't working.

Exactly. It's great to have hitters with power, but you can't always hit the home runs. You need to get the walks, and the singles, and score that way along with the homers. That's how the top offense teams do it.

In fairness, if you have watched this team this season, its likely the best chance they have to win.

That they do... anything can happen.

Molitor is just crushing May and Jepsen this series. 3 days in a row for both of them. No way they pitch tomorrow and maybe Tuesday.

Since they will no longer be playing us, they can rest.

Maybe, at the very least your watching the guy who make it unnecessary to resign O'Day which is a good thing. This team has to many holes to fill to be giving 6 or 7 million per year to a reliever who is not closing.

Ha, he was looking for yet another infield dribbler.

Of all the things I (pointlessly) complain about, not trading Britton in July might be the one that continues to make me frustrated and angry.

That isn't bad, not bad at all.

Great outing from Givens. His emergence this year is one of the bright spots of the season. He had a walk rate of 6 last year between Frederick and Bowie, and now he looks like he has been pitching professionally for years.

I think we keep Zack for another year or two.
