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.

    • Am I crazy for thinking Burnes isn't going to sniff Cole's deal?  I'm thinking like 7/260-280.  I don't think he's going to sniff Cole's deal.  For starters i dont think hes as good a pitcher as Cole was at the time of his signing.  Also, the Yankees aren't going to be in the bidding so that leaves the Mets, Giants, Nats, Orioles as teams that can afford him.  The Sox could too, but they're on the fringe of contention and might opt to develop more with the Yankees and Orioles solidly ahead of them in division.  Only the Mets from that list really seem like teams that would go over 300m for a pitcher, but they will be pressed for money because of the luxury tax.
    • Agree a strong RHP bullpen arm that misses bats would be good to add. Looking at Spotrac I don’t see who it would be. Dominguez could certainly be someone that could fill this role. 
    • Definitely leave the flag up. 
    • It looks like I misread your post as being about last offseason instead of the 2017-2018 offseason.  My mistake, but does that in any way affect my overall point - you know the part that I made explicit and you left out of your response - that all the old, reflexive Angelosian nonsense no longer automatically applies? I'm unclear on what you're driving at, especially if I have to go back to the 2017-2018 offseason when Peter Angelos might still have been giving input on running the team.  I think it's a stretch to try to draw parallels to those days, or even the John Angelos years, to David Rubenstein potential as an owner.
    • Irsay stealing the Colts in a midnight sneak away is in my top five depressing B-More moments, as well as the dreaded We Are Family Pirates in the ‘79 series. Otherwise, it’s a good bad list.
    • I forgot the name of the movie, but Jimmy Fallon was playing a BoSox superfan (tough role for an NY kid) and it was during the era of the ‘curse’ (right at the end of it actually) — a kid he was coaching asked, “What have the Red Sox ever done for you?” His character didn’t have an answer. But it made me think. The movie was out during the 14-years of losing seasons. I asked myself the same question about whether a lifetime of fandom was worth it. For me, outside of my family - 15 generations or more on the Eastern Shore - the O’s are also part of my DNA.  Win, lose, lose horribly, lose ugly, bad ownership, they just can’t shake me. All that said, I totally understand the frustration. It will take me a little longer to heal from this ugly exit to 2024.
