Wasn’t sure where to put this question so here goes:

I missed the game but wanted to ask if Blach was ok? The results aren’t good but the defense destroyed the game. Did he pitch well enough to warrant another chance?

 

How bad would a guy have to be to not get a second chance on this team?

When he left the mound he had given up 3 runs with two guys still on base.  A ground ball double play would have made his line look good.

I remember Dan hired a washed up free agent, I can’t remember his name Freddy Garcia maybe? Santana? Something like that. He was signed in May or something, came up and had one start, was blasted, and was let go the next day. I think a year or so later he surfaced with a different team and was successful, but for the life of me I can’t remember his name. 

That scenario always comes to mind when I think of guys getting one start. I think the leash should usually be a little bit longer.

I think Mike Wright and David Hess, among others, each have gotten more chances than the multiple of the number of chances Weaver gave Mike Cuellar times the number of chances Weaver gave his first wife.

I missed the first inning-plus, but I'd say absolutely yes. He benefited from some hard-hit outs and ran a lot of deep counts. But he did miss some bats and got some K's, and he grooved fewer pitches than most of his teammates do day in and day out.

Edwin Jackson? I don’t know if he made any starts though.

Garcia actually made about 10 starts for us.

Freddie Garcia had more than one start.  Could you be thinking of Jair Jurrjens?

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.

      Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.

      If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
