At this point I really feel sorry for the Mariners. It's not like Bedard has only had one type of physical problem this year. It's been a whole series of things and some of them cause legitimate concern about his long-term health.

Yea. I wonder if we could trade for Bedard. I think he would actually like coming back.

I wish Bedard was still pitching like he did last year. I certainly don't want us to rip off a team like this, but it sure looks like this deal is heavy in our favor right now.

Even though I feel bad for Bedard and the Mariners, I must admit its nice to be on the good side of a deal! :clap3:

I've gotta say... on the day that Bedard goes on the DL (again), and Carlos Zambrano fires a 1-hitter over 8 IP in his last start before being the NL starter in the ASG (according to AP), it's taking every bit of my self-restraint not to bump some year-old threads in which my suggestion that Zambrano>Bedard was met with much derision and accusations of homerism.

So instead you'll limit yourself to one measly self-congratulatory post? LOL!

I sided with you on this one, as I recall, mostly based on Z's track record for consistency and durability. But I'd still say that Bedard, when healthy and at his best (which isn't enough of the time), is tougher over 7 innings than Z. You've been proven dead right about the health risks Bedard posed but I think you underplay how good a pitcher he is when he's right.

Z's having a great year, no question about it. A lot of things have gone well for your Cubbies and I hope it continues, even if it does mean you'll be insufferable. The Cubs fans deserve it.

Interesting question: Would the O's have used a DH on days that Zambrano pitched had we made that trade?

Bedard having injury problems does not make Zambrano>Bedard.

That's like saying Griffey Jr sucks because he had injury problems, though yes Griffey did a lot before the injuries.

You absolutely have to factor in a player's durability/susceptibility to injury in determining which one is more valuable. That's exactly the reason Zambrano>Bedard.

Thanks for the restraint. I'll do the same. I won't pull up the post from last June 28, when you said you wouldn't trade Felix Pie straight up for Erik Bedard.

And I won't say that this is one of the best comeback zingers in the history of OH!

Would you then bump up your own posts about Rich Hill being as good or better than Bedard? Or, some of your posts about Matt Murton being as good or better than Nick Markakis? ;)

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
