Better Win Tomorrow

...because Tillman is starting on Saturday.

I don't get it. We will be lucky to get 1 of 3 against Cleveland.

Well those who want the Orioles to lose all the time are thrilled with this.

[allquixotic]

At least a sweep at the hands of the Indians should really help cement our position as sellers this season; if our record is bad enough coming into the trade deadline, maybe even Dan “The Retooler” Duquette might sell a player. Or two.

Doubt we lose 10 in a row.

I assume Machado's value goes up if he's traded early right?

How often do we see players like him get traded before July?

I doubt we see Machado moved before the All-Star break.

Or 2 of 4.

It's a wrap-around 4 game series.

The Indians fooled me last September 11/12/13 when we were hanging by the skin of our teeth and I had the gambler's fallacy thing going of, they've already won 15 in a row, they aren't going to win 18 in a row.

They're a true talent 90+ win team whose had some bad luck in terms of results in the early going, and we...are where we are.  I'd sign up in blood for a split, and hope to get the healing going in the Tampa/Detroit part of the homestand.  I think 1 win is the likeliest outcome, but am worried 0 is ahead of 2 for second place.

How many times have we seen a player like him traded period.

Dan needs to be relieved of his duties.

Really the entire organization should be gutted. Dan's the least of our problems. Although I'd feel happy for him to be fired so he could find a better job in an organization that knows what it's doing.

Yes but in reality - they are not going to fire Buck.  No idea who can replace Roger or Coolbaugh right now.  Brady is I guess untouchable.  Something needs to be done.  Firing Dan would be the first step to rebuild this org.  Then start moving some of these players.  Let Buck maybe have more control so we can get him to come back.

Splitting or losing a series now is NOT AND OPTION if they want to climb back in it. Every split or lost series digs the hole potentially deeper, and quite frankly it's deep enough.

IT'S PUT UP OR SHUT UP TIME!
