The only bloop that was catchable in his career that fell in front of him was last year against the Red Sox. 

C'mon man, you can't just make stuff up. You know I will call you on it.

I have seen him play the better part of 2 dozen games in Norfolk.  Feel free to call away.  Just like you did in the Stowers must be traded thread.  Maybe give it a re-read.

This strategy with Bautista could work last year when he threw strikes. Really worried he tires in the 9th this game. 

Watch Hyde shock everyone and bring in Baker....

I think they give him the Jorge Lopez treatment and trade him before they stop using him as the closer.

He is nowhere near arbitration. Still has tons of upside. Makes no sense to trade him any time soon. Maybe I'm about four years.

Lol, it's easy to be a Stowers hater because he's clearly sucking right now. Your opinion changes when the wind changes directions. Stowers probably does need to go back down because it's in his head right now. He's having terrible PAs and that play in RF was inexcusable, but he's not a lazy player or a bad outfielder.

I'm not against pulling Cano to preserve him for tomorrow but I would've liked to see Coulombe for the L-L matchup. Not feeling great about Bautista having to cover an inning with 11 pitches under his belt.

Especially since Coulombe was warmed up earlier. I just don't get it. Hopefully Bautista can hold it here but I doubt this will be easy.

    • Friedman and Dombrowski set a high bar, and the Astros are post peak.    Atlanta probably doesn't want to hear much about the Orioles misfortune. The Orioles level of play has been in the toilet half a season but I still think the good version of themselves is the AL's best positioned team to outplay the NL's best even this year.     We'll see if Soto and Judge are more than a 1-year thing, but even so that club has vulnerabilities.
    • I agree it's unlikely but not completely far fetched. I don't think he is a lock to get more than $20M in AAV, so he could decide to take it and then hit FA if he has a good or even better year. His talent level is in a similar range as the players who have accepted: Joc Pederson, Jose Abreu, Wieters etc.
    • Sort of a funny game to have come directly after a discussion of the merits of bunting with 1st and 2nd with nobody out. Glad Bob Melvin and I don’t see eye to eye on that issue…didn’t work out in his favor today.
    • Let's be honest, Gunnar ain't finishing second either.
    • Yeah, I don't think the Orioles' struggles against NL teams is very meaningful, but I do think the NL is stronger this year.  All the NL division leaders have looked formidable and steady throughout the season.  But also the Padres and Mets have kicked their seasons into another gear and have really impressed over the past couple of months.  Compare them to the Wild Card teams in the AL, and they just appear more formidable on paper.   Also the DBacks are pretty much outhitting everyone right now -- though that's been offset by their not so effective pitching.  
    • For sure he is out of consideration as the MVP favorite to copy Cal.  Of course,  Cal didn't have an Aaron Judge to compete with.  The runner-up in MVP voting in 1983 was a guy named Eddie Murray.  Eddie had more HR, more RBI, a higher slugging and OPS than Cal, but Cal had a higher WAR and batting average (.318 to .303).  I wonder if Eddie is bitter about losing the MVP to Cal?  A case could be made for either one.
