Man, that was a TERRIBLE by pitch Okajima. Huff ripped it, woulda been nice if he could have put that in the seats.

Hopefully we can at least get a sac fly and take the lead here. Although I think its gonna take more than one more to win. I wouldn't mind sticking with Sarfate for the 7th though.

Facts are facts. Either way I'm going to switch the tv from NESN to ABC so I can watch the Celtics.

BTW: My girlfriend lives in Federal Hill and I spend at least 30 days a year in Baltimore. I love the City and love the Fans*.

*Apart from that d-bag 18 year old who threw a full beer at me at OPACY in 2007. That was the Willy Mo Pena Grand Slam game in April.

Yes, that's a dbag game. I was just giving you a hard time 'cause I saw you were from MA. Kind of the online version of throwing a beer on ya. Seriously though, just teasing. ;)

Enjoy the Celtics game, I want this series to go to 7 and make this one of the best finals of all-time and save the NBA. So obviously I kind of want LA to win tonight, but overall I have no preference. I would be very happy for KG & Pierce. OTOH, Phil could get #10... Kobe #4 (1st w/o Shaq). Lots of story lines here.

      Elias addressing media at 4:05 today

      Maybe John Means could masquerade as a healthy Chayce McDermott. https://www.milb.com/player/chayce-mcdermott-694646

      Albert Suarez 2024

      By BohKnowsBmore · Posted

      I’m not sure trading for an impact starter is best use of resources. We still have six starters at the MLB level in Burnes, Bradish, GRod, Irvin, Kremer, and Suarez. Then Povich looks like he deserves a shot if needed.    Burnes, Bradish, GRod are the obvious playoff trio.    further injuries would change things, obviously, but at the moment I don’t see a clear need (and would have to pay handsomely for an upgrade). If someone would want Kremer as a part of the package, then maybe it makes sense.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      When Kremer comes back you have Burnes, Bradish, GRod, Kremer, Irvin Suarez in the bullpen.  Povich and McDermott at Norfolk. Absent further injury I don’t see Elias doing what it would probably take for Luzardo.  The relievers like Scott, Harvey, etc. will be cheaper.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Just Regular · Posted

      The basic story Elias told about Corbin Burnes is that Orioles strategic interest was communicated early in the offseason, and Matt Arnold took a long time (beyond even Milwaukee's successful recruitment of Rhys Hoskins) to decide which path to take. Indefinitely, Mike Elias' basic job is to know the availability and acquisition cost of any of the world's best pitchers, especially relievers as it would be awfully tough to unseat the top 3 starters that are really all the tournament asks of a pitching staff from that role. I don't think we will see the big move until near the deadline because the GM's of some teams playing .501 baseball also want all the mid-July information they can get, and they generally have better relievers than the .375 clubs. Jesus Luzardo would answer a 2025 question but quickly create a 2024 one if him or Grayson Rodriguez is going into the bullpen, a tricky ask Elias might prefer to veer away from. If Suarez/Kremer are really wobbly, the Joe Saunders-Erick Fedde kind of guy would be uncertain for the tournament roster.

      Jorge Mateo 2024

      Not specific to sliders, but if you toggle between 2023 and 2024, you can see his chase rate and whiff rate are significantly improved  https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/jorge-mateo-622761?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      I updated my post above after realizing I missed their trade suggestion: Bradfield, Povich, and Norby.  I think their proposal is too short on our end.
