Is this guy having an insane year thus far or what? After throwing 7 scoreless innings against the Yankees tonight, his ERA now sits at a miniscule .81! 39 K's and just 2 BB's in 44 2/3 innings!

There's no way he keeps this pace up, but it's been incredible to watch so far.

It was amazing watching him attack the plate tonight against the Sox. Some of our pitchers could benefit from watching how to attack the plate. It's a heck of a lot easier to pitch when you are ahead in the count. At one point tonight Lee had 71 pitches thrown, and he had thrown 54 of them for strikes.

Yeah, it was definitely fun watching him tonight. He has been extremely impressive.

What impressed me the most is that you would assume someone with those stats would hardly face adversity. In the middle innings he had Yankees all over the base path's and in scoring position but in a 3-0 game, well in reach by the Yankees, he manned up and got out of jams consistently. I really think he's the real deal, although these #'s are obviously not sustainable.

Even more amazing when you consider he was pitching against the Yankees, not the Sox. :scratchchinhmm:

Did the flip switch on with him or what? Makes you wonder what happens when you stick with young, talented guys who haven't put it together yet.

Wellllll...he has been pretty good in the past though. He was 46-24 from 2004-06, including going 18-5 with a 3.79 ERA in 05. He just completely lost his location last season. He was even a little shaky in spring training, but he certainly has everything working right now.

I mean holy hell!!

20:1 K:BB?!?!?!?!

Despite his red- no, white- hot start, the Indians have an identical record to us. This is a big if but if they're still kicking around .500 at the deadline, Cliff Lee could be considerable competition for any potential DCab trade.

Then again, we DID manage to snooker the Mariners in comparison to what the Twins got out of the Mets for Santana... I dunno, just random speculation!

Cliff Lee threw nine innings of shutout ball against the Blue Jays, but didn't factor into the decision as the Indians lost on Monday night.

The Indians managed just two hits in Lee's nine innings, but the impressive outing lowers his ERA to 0.67 on the season. It's seems likely that Lee will post career numbers this season, but it'd be mind-altering if he sustained this level of success. He makes a prime sell-high candidate.

This is insane. If the Indians sell high they will cash in like WOAH.

Good lord. And here I thought my post was going to jinx him. This is just incredible right now. In his 7 starts thus far, he's shutout the opposing team in 5 of them.

Any chance the Indians make him available at the deadline? Especially if they're not contending?

Not to sound like a broken record, but I think that'd benefit DCab's trade value too.

      Offense is down in MLB this year — but not in Baltimore

      By Frobby · Posted

      This is probably as close to clicking on all cylinders as most teams get.  In any given 24-game period, some guys will be up and others down.  We have 9 players with an OPS+ of 116 or higher.  The four guys you mentioned will have hotter periods, and someone else will be cold then.  That’s baseball.  But the ratio of hot players to cold ones is really good right now.

      2024 NFL Draft Discussion

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      I don’t see it.  Project guy.  Good upside but can’t see that in the first round. I think they go corner with the first pick unless someone unexpectedly drops. The assumption has been Oline but I think the draft is so deep and so many teams will be taking tackles that the Ravens will elect to wait until later in the draft to get Oline and WR help. Its not a deep corner draft, so getting one early makes sense. If they trade up, I wouldn’t think they trade anything higher than a 4th..could move up 3-6 spots. Trade back will likely get them a pick for next year.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      Gunnar is our Kyle Tucker but at a more premium position.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      I said Gunnar earlier. Before this season, I could have seen a case for Adley.  And I love Adley, great hitter (I don't think he's ever going to be a big power guy, but plate approach, contact, key hits, he's great) leader, heart and soul, etc.   But it's clearly Gunnar.  I didn't expect him to be this good, this fast.  He's separating himself from the rest of the pack, not only on this team but throughout the league. Whether or not an extension can happen is a different story altogether.  But Gunnar's the guy I'd go with first.

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By DirtyBird · Posted

      It is early, but the O's have some clear holes that will prevent a World Series run this season. And it looks like there are some teams playing there way out of contention already, barring a massive improvement in performance, making them likely sellers. At a quick glance, here are the teams that already could be looking to sell at the deadline. Some teams on the list made some offseason moves that signaled they are looking to compete. But early returns aren't looking good, and now they have an old team with pieces someone may find helpful, and without much talent in the pipeline. Tier 1 Losers Rockies White Sox Marlins Tier 2  - Not Looking Good Oakland Giants Angels Astros Cardinals Nationals I haven't really taken much look at the rosters to see what pieces could help us. So, who is selling? And Which of their pitchers have a chance to be on the market?

      By Bahama O's Fan · Posted

      I still feel like our offense isn't clicking on all cylinders yet. Santander has been down, Adley hasn't found alot of extra base power, Holliday has been a black hole so far, Hays was bad and now injured, Urias hasn't hit well.

      Angels series 4/22-24

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      It should be noted that it was the 8-9 hitters up at the time of that call.  So while it was the wrong call, its not like the Angels definitely tie it if he's called safe.  There is a very good chance Rengifo makes an out a pitch or two later anyway. So yes, bad call, but we didn't steal the game away because of that one call.
