3-6-3 master Eddie Murray Ryan Mountcastle is not.

Even though the Salvy oppo taco stinks, its nice seeing Grayson get to compete with some of the others who can match his talent.    I'm going to guess Grayson has hit that armside away location to RHB about a zillion times in his life and never had that happen before.

    • Well, the Jays didn't lose the next 2... Splitting four after starting 2-0 sucks. But I will note that the past two matchups were their top two arms this year, vs our current #5/6 guys, in their park. It was never that favorable for the clean sweep even though they looked awful on Mon/Tue. Onto Tampa, who just reached .500 for the first time in a few weeks, and has the benefit of only playing two Miami games since we last saw them Sunday. 
    • Played at an outdoor concert festival 100 ft from my house in 2015. As did Sir Mix-a-Lot.
    • I'm not trying to knock Grayson, just pointing out that I don't agree his presence in the rotation gives the Orioles the top 3 starters in baseball.  The Yankees are not the best either imo, just a comparison point.  The Phillies may be the best -- their top 4 are probably better than the O's top 3.  But mainly I was pointing out Bradish's arm being a concern.  If he becomes unavailable for awhile the O's suddenly look uncompetitive to the point that making the playoffs may not be a foregone conclusion.  That's why the O's could maybe use another starter.  If Bradish is not available for the postseason then we're probably as good as done.
    • You only really need your 3 best SPs in a 7-game series. So the Yankees have Cole and some other solid pitchers.  Gil has never thrown more than 100 innings in his career - including the minors - so you can safely count him out for the playoffs.  I'd take Grayson over every Yankee pitcher that will most likely be available in the playoffs except for Cole. And Cole, like Bradish, is coming off a significant injury which could easily knock him back out for the season. 
    • Hays has shown multiple times that he's not a good player when tolerating/dealing with injuries. 
    • I’m not sure if this is what you’re talking about, but the 2pm show on 105.7 did a Pham segment with an AI voiced Tommy Pham. I rarely listen to their show anymore, but this was maybe the worst thing I’ve listened to. It was frankly embarrassing.  The jist of the segment was they all wanted to trade for Pham. I get it, it’s radio, gotta get people to tune in. The two old guys are awful, but I feel bad for the younger producer getting dragged along.
