He pitches like he hasn't had a glass of water in 5 months and the last time he drank water he got cholera, and the cholera infected his pitching shoulder, and then he was also hit by a bus full of malaria.

But Gary and Mike seem to think he's fine after the first inning. :bangwall:

About to slam into the stadium in 5 minutes. No idea why they started this game. 

What idiot started it? Seriously. They should be fired. Take a look at the radar. It was clear as day that it was going to rain around 8 pm. 

Here you can see radar in the past and projected into the future. Looks like it will rain for close to another hour. Bad news for us is there is no chance it's raining at 10 pm. They'll get this game in.

Not in any order but that'd prob be my top 10. With guys like Speaker, H. Wagner, Foxx, etc right behind. I don't know where you put Cabrera.

Mike is objectively the world's most annoying person.

Here's my impression of Mike co-hosting the Gettysburg Address with Abraham Lincoln.

"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.  Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this."

"It sure is, Abe.  Abe Lincoln with the freedom talk!  Boom!  He's one of the greatest freedomizers in the game today."

Because it's all about the fans, you know.

      Order is returning to the division as they've zipped past the Red Sox recently, and welcomed Jonny DeLuca, Josh Lowe, Peter Fairbanks and Jonathan Aranda back to the roster. Randy Arozarena's BABIP won't stay near Cedric Mullins' in the gutter forever, and Jeffrey Springs throws a rehab game in a couple days. If I had to specify a third best team in the 2024 AL, I think I'd say them.

      Although this article mainly focuses on basketball, it shows how scary the explosion of sports betting has become: many athletes are reporting abuse and even death threats from people involved in sports betting. https://www.espn.com/sports-betting/story/_/id/40166862/ncaa-1-3-star-athletes-receive-abuse-threats-bettors

      100%. I have been saying this for weeks. Akin is not as good as he showed early, and Baumann isn't that bad. Neither is essential so the option is determinative. You can always bring Akin back if Baumann starts to suck again, but not vice versa.

      My line of thought is that an owner so willing to show his face and be among the people is not planning on pinching pennies just to get the optimal ROI.

      Seems we will get the game in but likely delayed start. Thoughts?

      6-man rotation is officially happening

      By Just Regular · Posted

      It will be interesting to watch Burnes' pattern in this stretch. One of the tradeoffs from taking the rest is you start to evaporate the opening day starter's turn 33 opportunity. Corbin Burnes is a lot better than the Orioles SP5-SP6, and the Orioles and Yankees seem tracking towards another one of the 1980 102-100 kind of races. I don't know if it is a feature or a bug, but the pressure on both the Orioles and Yankees every day is some of the design of the current playoff structure.     It is an interesting contrast if two top teams do or don't share a division.     If the Orioles were in the AL /=East, the Orioles and Yankees beating the other 13 AL teams by ~10 games, both Clubs could go to the spa all September. Together in the East, Luis Castillo and George Kirby, or Pablo Lopez and Joe Ryan, or Jeffrey Springs and Zach Eflin could end it all in barely over 24 hours.     I hope we won't see how Sigbot configures a 3-game ALWC series roster for a long time.    Some of managing the 162 is maximizing your Corbin Burnes asset the year you have him.
