A dazzling debut for Hammel's 2014 season.

Before walking the final batter that he had faced, he retired 19 out of the previous 20 batters.

He was at 73 Pitches (46 Strikes, 27 Balls) through 5 inning.

He threw 14 Pitches (9 Strikes, 5 Balls) in the 6th inning.

He threw 11 Pitches (6 Strikes, 5 Balls) in his 7th and final inning, of which he departed after recording 2 outs, and allowing a bases on balls.

The runner that he left on base (first base, with 2 outs in the 7th inning) was allowed to score after reliever James Russell allowed a double, and Justin Grimm allowed a single up the middle. He still has a chance to get the W though, as the Cubs lead the game by a score of 3-2 after 7 complete.

    • I think a more relaxed Norby tags one of those Gausman meatballs for at least a base hit. He fouled some off, and chased some out of the zone. Looking forward to seeing more of him. 
    • Frobby I won’t say that’s a strawman, but that is a blatantly incorrect interpretation of what I have said. I have repeatedly said that sometimes you do the right thing and lose anyway, and vice versa. I have also said that there’s nothing wrong with being wrong.  But you’ve watched the games too, you know there have been games that were lost because of objectively bad decisions. I don’t care about Gunnar throwing away that ball in the Pittsburgh series, I don’t care about holiday making a mistake. Things happen. I care about Hyde Making obvious mistakes.  Are you saying that not one single game has been lost because of such? I don’t lose any sleep over it, a game finished is a game past. But I want to win the Division. Last year, we won the division, then lost the division series. I would much rather have had that scenario than to have made the playoffs as a wildcard team, won a wildcard series and then lost in the division series. No, I’m not kicking the cat about it, and I’m not Firestoning about it either, but I’m not being unreasonable.
    • On one hand I want to say he just doesn’t have anywhere to play, on the other hand…he’s playing because of injuries/ineffectiveness of other players so while he seems buried in the depth chart and we’re barely in June and that depth is being utilized.    I’ve been writing him off as a sure thing to be traded and never putting on an Orioles uniform. I’m reassessing that a little considering he hits right handed and I’m happy that Holliday wasn’t called back up for reasons of positional need rather than he’s actually ready. 
    • If Burnes, GRod, and Bradish stay healthy, we are as set as we can be regardless of division winner or wild card. Will more than likely have to go through the Yankees either way. Just keep winning series and play best ball in October. That's what I wish for. Winning division then one and out means very little except a flag to fly. So to answer OP question - zippo.
    • Skubal has never pitched more than 150 innings and he'll be 28 next year. I dunno man. The results are legit for sure, but not sure he's worth Holliday. 
    • Also, I think for most of us traditional/longtime baseball fans, it is still in grained into our psychology (to some degree) that winning the division matters. Because for years (most of the history of the game) that is the only way that you could qualify for the postseason. However, when you look at teams who do well in the postseason (like last year's 2 WS teams), they weren't division winners. They just got hot at the right time. And truly that's all it takes in a short series format where things like depth are not nearly as important as it is most about top end talent and being able to perform against the other teams best (starters, relievers, batters). In other sports like hockey and basketball being a division winner is larger irrelevant because of the postseason format. Baseball with the additional Wild Cards has become the same way IMO.
    • IMO it really doesn't matter much. We are almost assuredly going to be in the playoffs. What matters most is how we are playing at the close of the season (going into the playoffs). We won the division and won 101 games last season as we outpaced TB. And in October (neither teams' great regular seasons matter). And teams like HOU and TEX were playing in the ALCS who weren't nearly as good all year.
