Well, it's Garceau.  I guess it can't all be good, but that's alright.

MLB? Pirates team might be ok, but I missed Ben’s commentary last week when I switched because I couldn’t take Brown’s silliness any longer.

Never thought Santander had a snowballs chance in hell of catching that ball.   He usually does not show good wheels.  But on that play he was running all out.  I guess his ankle is finally totally healed.   A year ago he would not of been able to catch that ball.

Agreed 100%. If hitters are frustrated by the shift, learn to hit it where they ain't.

Instead of solely focusing on launch angle and trying to hit a home run every single at bat. Sometimes you need to take what the defense gives you.

I don't have MLB.tv anymore.  Anyway, I like Ben so I'd keep it here regardless.

The thing is that I actually feel kinda bad about bagging on Garceau.  He seems like a really, nice genuine guy and he's been doing Baltimore sports forever.  It's just that he's painful to listen to.

      Right..if the Orioles can trade for Brenton Doyle (my favorite top target), why should we care that his salary is low? Also in that scenario, Mullins is likely gone, so payroll would actually go down I believe. But someone like Bemore wins would still complain because the payroll isn’t where he thinks it should be.

      Where are you getting your stats from that's not correct looking at OPS.

      On the O's this year, Martinez would have been: 5th in OPS 5th in AVG 6th in HRs in 120 games

      I think PFF is grading Roquan badly because the safeties behind him are playing like ass and it's making him look bad.  If teams are going to attack him over the middle on crossing routes with WRs (like KC did with Rice) he doesn't really stand much of a chance if the safeties behind him don't throw him a bone.  He's still a huge help in the run game.   In general I think PFF assigns a little too much blame to linebackers on passes over the middle, so unless you're an elite coverage guy at LB it's really hard to grade well.  The flip side to this is that teams probably need to adjust their coverage areas to account for the fact that LBs aren't going to be able to hold down WRs for long.

      Thanks. This tells me what my eyes have seen with Roquan. He's been a liability in coverage and the fact that Simpson is ahead of him is not good for our defensive leader. Do you have the PFF grades for offense too?

      What you want is perfectly reasonable.  But you seem entirely to focused on money.  The team needs to work to improve.  I don't care what it costs, you shouldn't either.  They are going to spend money and payroll will be higher next year and the year after that.  We need them to make improvements and some of that is rightfully going to come from within and not cost much. The improvements that are needed are going to cost too, I'm not saying they wont.  But ownership and the GM should simply work in tandem to make sure the team has what it needs.  I am not really concerned about how much that costs because it should be able to be done without jumping this particular team into say top ten in payroll.
