Long overdue really. 

How an anything be long overdue on April 21?

This management team actually pulls the trigger on performance based changes faster than most.   The majority of teams don't make these type of changes until well into May.   It's nice to see but calling anything long over due when only 12% of a season has been played is silly.

Depends on whether you start the clock for being overdue at the start of the season or from September 1st last year?

Well, Buck always used to say that you don't trust September stats or spring training stats.

And our current management wasn't here in September either.

I'm not disagreeing with the move... I actually think it's refreshing that this management team is able to come to quicker conclusions than the usual MLB "wait till May" to judge how someone is doing like we did for Garrett Atkins, Bud Norris, and so many others.   This management came to quick decisions on Araujo, Jackson, Wright, and now Mullins.

But to say something is overdue on April 21 just seems odd.

      Will losing the next 2 games make the Jays early sellers?

      By Spy Fox · Posted

      Well, the Jays didn't lose the next 2... Splitting four after starting 2-0 sucks. But I will note that the past two matchups were their top two arms this year, vs our current #5/6 guys, in their park. It was never that favorable for the clean sweep even though they looked awful on Mon/Tue. Onto Tampa, who just reached .500 for the first time in a few weeks, and has the benefit of only playing two Miami games since we last saw them Sunday.

      Played at an outdoor concert festival 100 ft from my house in 2015. As did Sir Mix-a-Lot.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By EddeeEddee · Posted

      I'm not trying to knock Grayson, just pointing out that I don't agree his presence in the rotation gives the Orioles the top 3 starters in baseball.  The Yankees are not the best either imo, just a comparison point.  The Phillies may be the best -- their top 4 are probably better than the O's top 3.  But mainly I was pointing out Bradish's arm being a concern.  If he becomes unavailable for awhile the O's suddenly look uncompetitive to the point that making the playoffs may not be a foregone conclusion.  That's why the O's could maybe use another starter.  If Bradish is not available for the postseason then we're probably as good as done.

      You only really need your 3 best SPs in a 7-game series. So the Yankees have Cole and some other solid pitchers.  Gil has never thrown more than 100 innings in his career - including the minors - so you can safely count him out for the playoffs.  I'd take Grayson over every Yankee pitcher that will most likely be available in the playoffs except for Cole. And Cole, like Bradish, is coming off a significant injury which could easily knock him back out for the season.

      Austin Hays 2024

      Hays has shown multiple times that he's not a good player when tolerating/dealing with injuries.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By survivedc · Posted

      I’m not sure if this is what you’re talking about, but the 2pm show on 105.7 did a Pham segment with an AI voiced Tommy Pham. I rarely listen to their show anymore, but this was maybe the worst thing I’ve listened to. It was frankly embarrassing.  The jist of the segment was they all wanted to trade for Pham. I get it, it’s radio, gotta get people to tune in. The two old guys are awful, but I feel bad for the younger producer getting dragged along.
