He had 6 SO in 5 IP. His FB can be plus at time w a higher spin rate. 

I’m not a big believer in CERA, but I’d love to see if a catcher who's a better receiver and better at sequencing than Severino would help. 

I don’t necessarily think he’s destined for the BP either. He could be a serviceable back end guy.

Well I kind of gave up on him a while back, although I keep insisting that we should try him as a piggyback starter with Lopez, but given the fact that everybody’s terrible, I don’t have any problem with letting him finish the year and seeing what he can do.

MLB Gameday is FED UP! Still showing the game 1-1, Akin responsible for the 1.

But their score says 7-1. MASN says 7-1. Did Akin give up all those runs?

We are AHEAD 7-1.  Akin gave up a HR to Ohtani in the first and that is it.

    • Of course I’ll be watching. Filled with dread in all likelihood. As will most of us.  LOL. 
    • Very interesting to read through this. Full of optimism…those were good times. Turns out I voted 91-94. Such pessimism…grrr…and even that was too little. Several of the posters should run out and buy lottery tickets because they are definitely prescient.
    • During all the hullabaloo about the team floundering, way too little was said about fundamental baseball judgement and defense. In a game a couple days ago, a guy came up to bat with runners on. This guy is all speed and defense, with no power, and bunted for a single. The radio guys pointed out that with a bunt threat at the plate, the defense moves in to anticipate the bunt, but this wasn’t done. He barely beat out the throw. Even two steps in from the defense would have been the difference. Little flubs like that happen CONSTANTLY, and don’t count as errors, but good teams avoid them without even thinking. The OF collision two days ago. Why did that happen? It shouldn’t have, and wouldn’t have with a good team, yet we’ve had at least three, two of which resulted in serious injury. Westburg and Urias are both solid players with solid fundamentals. Even if they don’t blaze away at the plate, they haven’t forgotten their defense, and we can hope that will be enough to get us to 90 wins.
    • The Boys are back and you're going to be in trouble.  Hey-la Hey-la. The Boys are back.
    • I was just reading my unread posts in the thread, and didn’t notice that your post was a week old.   And I don’t consider that I called you out.  The post sort of read like the outcome of the playoffs was so certain that there was no point in watching, so I was ribbing you about it.  Nothing personal intended. I have a feeling you’ll be watching!   
    • I was expecting Boston to be last and NY to be fourth…I never expected the Jays to be as bad as they’ve been, and the Rays are always good.
    • Fewer than 3% of our posters thought the O’s would win under 90 games this year.  They can still win 90, but it will take a 4-3 finish or better to do it.
