He's thrown 60IP. Not exactly being abused.

Brach's innings have been actually been cut back in recent weeks with O'Day's return and the Orioles inconsistency on the road but he was on a 90+ inning pace at the all-star break. That's a ridiculously high work load for a reliever especially one with a violent delivery like Brach has.

Yeah totally not bucks fault for letting the same guy beat us over and over and over again.

Is Buck honestly supposed to say "oh man this guy just always seems to kill us, better pitch around him and put the go-ahead run on second base." ???

He's a real life Major League manager, not some chucklehead in a bar.

He's given up runs in 5 of his last 10 appearances. Apparently we have a different opinion on what constitutes a good back end reliever.

I thought you said not to use ERA, which is basically what you're doing, since his usual appearances are 1 IP.

The ball to Schoop should have been en error/out. It will probably be changed later.

I also didn't realize the quality of a reliever could be judged in 8 IP. You are a joke.

      The very concept is baffling  You are supposed to hit a round ball with an oblong bat and hit it Square.  That is very hard to do  No wonder only a very small % of people on the planet can do it very good.

      I know the Brewers are in 1st, but I wonder if they'd be interested in trading Devin Williams if it was primarily MLB pieces being swapped. Looking at their roster, I feel they could use an OF and maybe a 1B/DH lefty bat.  When the time comes, I wonder if something built around around Williams for Ohearn, Santander could come into play? Depends on performance and need closer to All Star Break.  If Milwaukee thinks they can make a run and Williams was healthy, Id probably not trade him

      I have long said that baseball is the ultimate reality show because you just never know what will happen, what personalities will emerge, what fresh talent will shine through.    Very curious to see the show Netflix is doing with the Red Sox this year. I don’t think it will be the last of its kind because behind the scenes of a MLB team for a season is endless drama.

      And it really goes hand in hand. He is hanging in there more this year in ABs, getting into deeper counts so he gets a chance to hit some mistakes. That AB last night was the perfect example of it. If my memory serves he laid off one, and fouled off one prior to the hanger.

      He is having a better year statistically. He doesn’t have a better arm.

      One thing I love about baseball is its constant capacity to surprise you.   I feel like in other sports, players kind of are who they are.   You don’t see basketball players score 15 points per game one year and 27 the next, dropping back to 21 the following year.  You don’t see healthy wide receivers go from 60 catches to 100, then back to 70.   Hockey players don’t score 25 goals one season and 50 the next, then 35.    But in baseball, crazy fluctuation and guys coming out of nowhere is kind of par for the course.  Sure, there are some players who are very consistent from year to year, but it feels like team success is built largely on having several guys suddenly have career years, or players popping out of nowhere.    For the Orioles, nobody had Mateo doing what he’s doing.  Maybe 5% of fans (if that) could have even told you that Albert Suarez was on our roster when spring training started.  By the same token, I’m sure nobody foresaw Hays and Mullins being as awful as they’ve been.   Watching Tampa, last year a whole bunch of their hitters had career years.  This year, most of those same guys are crapping the bed.  But will it continue?  Stay tuned! Anyway, I love the unpredictable nature of the game and can’t wait to see what will happen next.
