The biggest problem is that I increasingly think Gausman is becoming a head case like Arrieta.  He knew this was a huge game, so he was overthinking. overthrowing.  Once we got him a 5 spot, it turned it up on him and he cracked. 

 

yankees come in...they will sweep Royals. 

If he thought this was a "HUGE" game, then he is a head case.

Even Palmer was confused there.   If there was a wheel play.  Davis stays at first; Schoop to 2nd.  If there was no wheel play, Manny stays at third, Flaherty to 2nd, Schoop to 1st.   Hunter and Palmer had no interest in deconstructing it.       Someone missed the sign or assignment.

Another point is Joseph and whether he communicated or not.

Kansas is 23rd in bullpen ERA coming into this game.  It's not the Royals dominant bullpens if the past, the Orioles are just struggling right now especially Manny and Jones. 

We are certainly helping that improve.   They look pretty dominant right now.

Gausman had a 9-1 lead against the Yankees, and he cracked. He can't handle the pressure. I've seen enough of him. If he goes somewhere else and turns it around..good for him.

I don't consider Arietta as much a headache as he was stubborn and didn't want to listen. Gausman is scared.

Then why did he pitch well down  the stretch last year?  That doesn't add up.  He isn't pitching well we all can see that.

Arrieta would choke all the time once things went south on him.  He would pitch 3 great in ings, then walk a leadoff guy, give up a bloop and you could see his attitude and demeanor just drop. Then he would just overthrow even harder but in the middle of the plate

      Does Elias dare trade Hays at the deadline?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Do we even need to get much for Hays?  Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I want to cut him and lose him for free but if all we get is a lottery ticket or 2, is that some egregious thing?  Chances are, he will be non tendered in the offseason anyway.

      I'm looking for part-time work from home

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      I'm 59-years-old and on permanent disability.  My extra source of solid income came from day-trading stocks for the past 5+ years.  However, my method of success is no longer viable after an important change in stock trading.  It's complicated, but the bottom line is I cannot do it anymore.  I'm now in a near-desperate situation to earn money working from home.  I'm skilled on the phone, with Excel and Word, and as a writer, and feel I have a lot to offer. I've watched many videos about things to try from home... and I've tried some that did not work.  The hope here is you know of a situation that can potentially help. Thank you.

      You'd do the Ohtani deal but without the deferred money?

      Jim Palmer Career WAR

      By RZNJ · Posted

      1.  That’s why I only did it by pitchers 2. Good point on the innings.   I was surprised that Seaver, who pitched in a 5 man rotation as opposed to Palmer in a 4 man rotation had over 800 more innings.   He did pitch until he was 41. 3. What do you consider walking a ton of guys?  Palmer averaged an even 3 walks per 9 for his career.  Seaver, 2.6.

      I would sign Gunnar to literally any extension he'd agree to. We aren't going to be upset about paying 40-50 million a decade from now when we get his age 26-30+ seasons.

      By G54377 · Posted

      If it wasn't for the awkwardness with Hays (who isn't going to be traded) I'd be all about adding Taylor Ward as our 3rd/4th OF who can play good defense and crush lefties from the RH. I don't think the Orioles will rock the boat this season though. Maybe trade him in the offseason?

Of course most of these are from 19th century or Negro leagues that played shorter schedules. Also, this year because the season is only half over. I love that Mule Suttles had 130 RBI in 89 games in 1926. That's 237 per 162 games. And Ross Barnes' '76 runs scored total extrapolated out to 162 is 309.
