Half this board was pissed and confused about this pickup, too, don’t forget. 

Fortunately it was the half that has a short memory and is never wrong about anything.

Elias should be trading for a bullpen arm when trade season heats up in addition to a starting pitcher.

Make sure he trades one of our only SP prospects for a one inning relief pitcher who walks at the end of the season.  I want more of that crap please.

I thought he was losing it when we let him go.

Megan Newman says Gunnar is in a sophomore slump?  Dont she know he is a rookie?  Clueless lady.

Melanie and the MASN broadcast missing another Star Wars reference with Mike Elias wearing a black hoodie. "Darth Elias."

Out of rep. Nice one!

The Yankees groundskeeper looks like a young Buck Showalter doppelganger LOL

Well it had to end sometime. But damn an inning like that against the Yankees is freaking sweet. 

Especially in the Bronx.

Givens weight is listed at 250 lbs right now and I didn't believe it until seeing him pitch with the Orioles this season. He's gotten chunkier.

It seems to limit how much he can do his characteristic momentum-building twist before throwing.

One of my biggest criticisms of Hyde is that he doesn't let guys who are converted starters like Voth and Baumann go a 2nd inning a lot of times even when they have a good first inning, and ends up over-using other guys in the pen.

I'm beginning to think what Hyde is doing is trying to condition every member of the bullpen to being available almost everyday--thus, the sub-2-inning slices (except Cano as long as his magic lasts).

I wish we could have a backup catcher who can hit well above the Mendoza line, as well as be solid defensively.

McCann is fine as back-up C.
