Take advantage of the Yankees while they are down......

Harper and Arrieta have Bor"ass" as their agents. He always tests free agency. We should lock Manny up asap.

See Matt Wieters.

You seem to know all of the best FA's next year. Trumbo certainly isn't going to finish with a .900 OPS. His history says he probably won't finish with a .800 OPS. There are other 1B, such as Adam Lind, and Encarnacion who are just as good if not better.

Trumbo's career OPS+ is 113 vs. 112 for Lind. Pretty much everything points to Trumbo being a better glove at 1st. Add in the fact that Trumbo is two years younger and I don't know how you can suggest that Lind is the better FA candidate other than non-Oriole = better player.

See Matt Wieters.

To be fair, I think they did evaluate what deals were out there and decided that the QO was the best course of action. They certainly didn't sign a LT extension prior to FA eligibility, which I believe was the initial point being discussed in the response you are quoting.

Not that he and his .194 batting average was that daunting in the first place, albeit he does have 5 home runs.

But for what it's worth ......

(By Andrew Marchand)

Rodriquez has been put on the 15-day DL.

And, the Orioles took 2 out of 3 games from the Yankees.

Since C.C. Sabathia threw 7 shutout innings against the Orioles earlier this month, he has pitched in 2 games.

n Friday, he pitched 6 innings of 1-run ball against the Athletics, walking 1 and striking out 8.

Today against the Blue Jays, he pitched 7 innings and gave up 0 earned runs, walking 1 and striking out 7.

His ERA for the season is down to 2.83.

So it might not have just been the O's offense being terrible?

Amazing.

The Yankees Lose.

The Yankees just took advantage of the Orioles when THEY were down (injuries and the flu bug going around the Orioles' clubhouse.)

The Orioles have a chance to kick the Yankees in their nuts tomorrow afternoon.

Girardi is saying this is "probably the most important game of the year." Kind of admitting they're cooked if they lose today. Turn on the heat.
