Tuesday, August 23: White Sox come to town

[Gurgi]

How did the Orioles get Voth for free?  A failing relief pitcher and throw him into the starters role and he  is doing this well?   

Is is luck?   Or is Elias and his scouts guys that good?   

Wouldnt it be amazing if the Orioles become one of the better teams in baseball at fixing guys?

I mean this offseason we could probably trade Voth for some decent prospects.   Not that we should.  Just being amazed we have taken someone else trash and are making gold.   

Like Bautista.   How did our guys fix that guy?  Just amazing.   

If this is going to be the new Orioles.....a team that does things smart.....

The Orioles I remember are the team that has like had like 6 or 8 of the first draft picks in the early rounds in the early 2000s and only one guy ever amounted to anything.   The Orioles have been the team of conferate money.   I am amazed they might actually be smart now.

And now Brown is trying too hard.   Cease gets the first batter:   "The Show Must Go On for Dylan Cease".

There was another one when he said the O's want to break free lol.

Voth starting this inning scares me a bit.

Hopefully it's a short leash

Oops I missed that one!

[Il BuonO]

He gets the first hitter out!

[PHRESH]

Mateo makes it look so easy 

[Gurgi]

This Voths last inning?  Even if he gets out easy?

[Aristotelian]

Interesting, Fangraphs has Voth throwing barely over 40% FB's. It's almost like a reverse changeup with the cutter his primary pitch. 

[Il BuonO]

Voth isn’t going to have a clean inning.

Yes.   Get this #9 hitter, take the quality start.   No sense letting Pollock see him a 4th time.

Yeah, and they have a fresh bullpen given the day off.

Did Davey Johnson really just say there isn't little league in Baltimore City? Wow, that's a bad take 

Davey Johnson was a manager. This is Dave Johnson, the pitcher. 

[Il BuonO]

Reverse jinx no good.

[Gurgi]

Okay Voth did ok.   Nothing to be ashamed of.
