I’m here late because I was working but saw Krehbiel have a good inning. Is he a piece or just temporary filler?

Who knows.   He's been cut by 3 teams in the past 26 months, and he'll be 29 in December.

But if they see something in him, who knows.   There arent enough life rafts to keep everyone one the 40 man roster this offseason.   A lot of guys will be borderline.   How Elias and company evaluate all those borderline guys, I have no idea.

Wd b so cool to upend the Sox. After all, we began the season with a 3-game sweep of them in Fenway. The symmetry wd make the story easy for the writers.

He pitched against us in the second game of the season and even though we won that day, I was extremely impressed with his stuff.  I couldn't believe they spent the season starting the likes of Martin Perez over him.

Both pitchers in the game right now are righthanders who have a heavily, almost completely. tatted left arm and an apparently inkless right (pitching arm).

Is that a thing?

Wow, two great innings for Krehbiel.   Out of respect I looked up how to spell his name correctly for this post.

[LA2]

Krehbiel just went 2 innings for first time in his career. In a high-leverage situation, too.

Only 12 total pitches and 8 were strikes.

Need to tack on some runs here. Os don't have a functioning closer.

But against the Yankees over the weekend he was awful. Gave up 6 runs or so.

Didn't even need anagram solver to find HERBLIKE.

Anise performance right on thyme.

[LA2]

105 homers in the first four of tonight's lineup or an average of 26 each. That's pretty good!

They could DFA half the guys on the 40, and I doubt anyone would even notice. I have my preferences and soft spots, but(yay Trey!) I fully expect 10-15 waiver pickups to be added before January.

so if you want Valaika’s autograph you better get it now. Or Wynns’ or Severino’s or Jones’ or etc…

A 3 hit night for Pedro Severino in what might be his last week as an Oriole.
