I only visit the game threads a few times a season. Threads vary from rational and analytical to almost pure emotion. The game threads are the most emotional. It’s therapy for many, but not fun for me so I mainly avoid them. I think that’s part of the beauty of what Tony has created with the OH. The game threads are a good emotional release for some. The game threads have probably reduced the number of TV remotes that have been thrown across living rooms.
I think Burnes gets 5 days rest because of the off day tomorrow so it seems like a good spot to push him a little. He only threw 107, so its not like we went Dusty Baker on him.
I mentioned that I think Hyde has to manage our starters a little less delicately with our bullpen sucking. It looks Hyde is inclined to agree with this.
I have to admit I am all for resigning Burnes too, I just can't remember the last time the O's signed a free agent the other top teams wanted. I don't think even Chris Davis fits that category because the O's were bidding against themselves. Albert Belle? I guess I'll just try to be hopeful. I can't see Rubenstein making himself the public face of the franchise and then turning around and basically saying this is going to be my cash cow. I guess we'll soon find out. I have to admit I am looking forward to this way more than the election. lol
It seems to me they should probably change their approach or the season will end up a disaster. It’s frankly unexplainable they haven’t demoted/traded/DFA’d the players that aren’t performing. It’s a joke management thinks this group of players has any chance of winning anything. Imagine if they could just walk more..
Sorry I’m not Gretzky fan , lol . And don’t know any of his quotes. But I would love to hear it , if you can share.
Speaking of bullpen, I agree that ours needs to be augmented and upgraded. The trade deadline is coming soon so……..
