I never said it was easy.  I said when you are down 4 you have to convert those.  Because it's hard to comeback down 4 runs, especially late in the game.

I'm sure that if he had it to do all over again, he would have kept it fair and hit a homerun. /s

See, now you are just putting words in my mouth.  It's 1st and 2nd 1 out in the 8th trailing 7-3.  If you get a 2B there  it might be 7-5 with a man one 2nd.  But Santander just hits it foul.  Big difference in your chances of coming back.

Now just to clarify.  I never said it was easy.  But you have convert things like that if you want comeback from a 4 run deficit late in the game (8th inning).

I think Garceau irks him. And he misses working with Gary Thorne.

He was pretty gentle when Garceau asked him if he pitched switch hitters different based on their Left and Right styles depending on the kind of hitter they were.

"Well, they were batting left-handed when they faced me..."

I was being snarky. 

But I was not putting words in your mouth. There are some other posters on here who are very willing to say, "You think..." and "According to you..." even when we have never made claims that they ascribe to us. That's not me

    • No, I’m just saying Bradish can pitch one way or another.  You don’t throw out Suarez, Irvin and Povich.  at the very least, you get Bradish one of the starts.
    • As an Orioles fan I would rather that they not play on Sunday night.  Plus I really do not like the announcing crew, other than Eduardo Perez. As a fan of the sport having the Yankees-Red Sox as the spotlight game when you have two top five teams playing in a sold-out stadium the same day is a symptom of a longer-term problem MLB can’t seem to fix.  ESPN is probably right that they’d get better ratings but it is because the sport has become too regionalized with a few national brands (Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox, maybe Cubs, maybe Phils, maybe Braves).  The sport’s inability to market its biggest stars nationally (especially those that don’t play for the above teams) is maddening.     Okay, I’m done venting for now.
    • Yeah no reason to get a starter. Kremer will be back soon and Suarez and Irvin have provided a lot of innings we did not expect. We need a late inning leverage guy and probably another middle relief pitcher, similar to getting Webb last year. I don't think we need to break the bank either. Everyone tosses around trading Kjerstad but we can get a late inning guy and not give up a top 25 prospect. We just a rental. Baustista will be back and we have a club option on Kimbrel if need be.
    • I'm curious for those wanting to trade for a starter: who are you kicking out?
    • would you?     https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10124411-white-sox-sp-garrett-crochets-top-landing-spots-amid-mlb-trade-rumors
    • I don’t think this matters. I think you get value where you can. The Rays have been willing trade partners in the past when it was clear they weren’t contending. Right now they are 4 games out of the last slot but have like 5 teams above them. Can they get it? Sure but it’s not that likely and in the past they’ve been realistic in their down type seasons.
