And that style wins plenty of games but only up to a point, but it doesn't necessarily win playoff type games or World Series. At some point, you have to stop saving guys and go for matchups in every key situation no matter what the effect on tomorrow and go for broke or you don't get the ring. And him not bringing Hart in had nothing to do with saving anything or anybody. It was just his instinct. And he was wrong. And it cost us this game.

This is the conspiracy I and my tin-foil hat believe:

1) Ortiz has been caught

2) He said "*** it" and went all out on PEDs

3) He's having perhaps the greatest age 40 season of all time

4) We'll see how the Sawx do in the playoffs

5) The story about his bust will break shortly after the World Series is played.

He was caught before the bans went into effect and at least onece again since he is in the testing program and in his own words, "Is tested more times than anyone."

No Biogenesis players tested positive for anything. It was only paper trail that caught them.

Giants and Royals got to the World Series as wildcard teams in the last two years. Get in and anything can happen. Offense has to wake up or the wildcard will slip away.

Yes, except those teams were smoking hot at the end. Not playing .500 ball or worse. This team still could limp into a one game playoff but that would be it.

When was he caught since the ban?

      Will losing the next 2 games make the Jays early sellers?

      By Spy Fox · Posted

      Well, the Jays didn't lose the next 2... Splitting four after starting 2-0 sucks. But I will note that the past two matchups were their top two arms this year, vs our current #5/6 guys, in their park. It was never that favorable for the clean sweep even though they looked awful on Mon/Tue. Onto Tampa, who just reached .500 for the first time in a few weeks, and has the benefit of only playing two Miami games since we last saw them Sunday.

      Played at an outdoor concert festival 100 ft from my house in 2015. As did Sir Mix-a-Lot.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By EddeeEddee · Posted

      I'm not trying to knock Grayson, just pointing out that I don't agree his presence in the rotation gives the Orioles the top 3 starters in baseball.  The Yankees are not the best either imo, just a comparison point.  The Phillies may be the best -- their top 4 are probably better than the O's top 3.  But mainly I was pointing out Bradish's arm being a concern.  If he becomes unavailable for awhile the O's suddenly look uncompetitive to the point that making the playoffs may not be a foregone conclusion.  That's why the O's could maybe use another starter.  If Bradish is not available for the postseason then we're probably as good as done.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      You only really need your 3 best SPs in a 7-game series. So the Yankees have Cole and some other solid pitchers.  Gil has never thrown more than 100 innings in his career - including the minors - so you can safely count him out for the playoffs.  I'd take Grayson over every Yankee pitcher that will most likely be available in the playoffs except for Cole. And Cole, like Bradish, is coming off a significant injury which could easily knock him back out for the season.

      Austin Hays 2024

      By Brooks The Great · Posted

      Hays has shown multiple times that he's not a good player when tolerating/dealing with injuries.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By survivedc · Posted

      I’m not sure if this is what you’re talking about, but the 2pm show on 105.7 did a Pham segment with an AI voiced Tommy Pham. I rarely listen to their show anymore, but this was maybe the worst thing I’ve listened to. It was frankly embarrassing.  The jist of the segment was they all wanted to trade for Pham. I get it, it’s radio, gotta get people to tune in. The two old guys are awful, but I feel bad for the younger producer getting dragged along.
