Was like he was throwing BP out there tonight.   Pitiful.

0.1 IP, 6 H, 5 ER, 2 HR.  He's a walking disaster and should only pitch in blowouts.  I get why he was used today because it was a Double header and we didn't have many pitchers available.  But normally he should not see the mound when the game is even remotely close.

I'd rather be fighting for Tonya Harding than Spencer Watkins.

I considered it, but I couldn’t get a crowbar past airport security.

But it appears that Hyde also doesn’t want to bring him in except at gunpoint.

Zero walks!

His friend said he left on his bicycle while listening to Haydn.  I remain skeptical.

That is some expert spin… When every batter you face is getting hit I suppose not giving up any walks can be considered a victory of sorts.

BP = British Petroleum. I get it--gas on the fire!

Hindsight is 20/20 but it certainly seems that they should have taken whatever they were offered for Fry and Scott at the deadline.  Scott is talented and he'll get years in the league to figure things out but the growing pains are pretty tough to take.

Even with hindsight I'd keep Scott.  The O's are in a situation in which they can let him try and figure things out at the ML level.  He's the type of guy they should be trying to acquire from other teams.

Fair point but how many years of team control are left?   Time is starting to run out on waiting for this guy to develop some consistency.

As long as he's cheap and the team isn't competitive keep throwing him out there.

When that changes you reevaluate.
