Wade rolling!

He's already my favorite Orioles left-handed starter named Wade of all time.   Eat it Miley!

I'll take 5IP and 2 runs every start for LeBlanc. 

Just two years ago he was 9-5 with a 3.72 ERA, 4.28 FIP, 109 ERA+ and 1.179 WHIP.  Could he actually do that again at age 35 in a hitters' ball park?

[scOtt]

Been a very fair, very proper strike zone today.

Stewart with a good eye, but nothing to show for it.

Well not 9-5... but maybe the rest.

Yeah, patient AB. I believe in him. Like his approach.

The Nike logo on every jersey is a terrible look IMO and this is year one of a ten year contract to outfit all of MLB. 

For A Cool $1 Billion, MLB Adds Nike Swoosh To Uniforms

The Nike swoosh will adorn all 30 Major League Baseball uniforms starting in the 2020 season as part of a 10-year deal between MLB, Nike and retailer Fanatics — a deal that is reportedly valued at more than $1 billion and should haul in about $3 million a year for each team. 

If Nike will be kind enough to pay the rest of the Chris Davis contract, we're willing to make that serif off of the S in the Orioles logo into swoosh.  What do you say, Nike?  

[scOtt]

Good job Austin.

[Il BuonO]

Hays patient as well.

[HowAboutThat]

Ok now what should Hyde do?

if I’m Hyde, I’ll let LeBlanc start the inning but I’ll get up two relievers, LH and RH.

If he shows signs of fatigue, I make a move.

if he doesn’t show any problems I’m going to pull in at the end of the inning anyway, because you don’t want to take any chances on him suddenly falling apart.

[Il BuonO]

Like to see Hays steal a base here.

[MurphDogg]

Tough catcher to run on, ideal stolen base attempt situation.

Wade Miley is not amused.

[Il BuonO]

Well....

[scOtt]

Same guy?
