I love Palmer but it’s a little sad to see him losing a step.  You can see him looking for the right word and being conscious of it.  He shouldn’t be embarrassed or frustrated, it’s part of getting older, but you can see the frustration. Still gives great insights and one of my favorite color guys of all time.

Wells needs to figure out how to mitigate the long ball. He can make this light-hitting team look like the '27 Yankees with meatballs over the heart of the plate.

That's part of being the WHIP leader.

Hard to look at the lineup today and believe that this is a true contender that needs to sell the farm to add a finishing piece. Still feels like we're waiting for reinforcements and ahead of schedule.

Stealing is fun when we make it....but real depressing when they catch us.  I am kind of like Weaver.....I dont like giving them the outs. 

Sure would have been nice to have a baserunner when Santander hit that single.

The key to being aggressive is also being smart and scouting the catcher's arm strength well in advance before even attempting to steal.

O's came in at 83% stealing this year... if you can keep that percentage up, it's helping the team overall.

Their catcher was in our system last year, so I would sure hope they have a report on him.

    • It sucks that we are going to take this to the wire it seems. Lord, please don't let these O's have an epic collapse.
    • It also didn’t help that Hicks casually jogged for the ball. Hicks didn’t have to go much further than Frazier did to get to it and didn’t even come close.
    • Guess you never watched Roberto Alomar. 
    • Westburg is still positive overall as a defender per statcast OAA, and it's really hard to draw conclusions from 1/7 of a season of defensive stats.  He sure looks pretty good there though, and this isn't the first time this year that Frazier's unclutch defense has cost us games.  He is unquestionably the weakest link on defense.
    • In a bullpen that has both the utterly unreliable Shintaro Fujinami and the very reliable (for giving up runs) Jorge Lopez, those are the guys you want to see gone?  Maybe Baumann, but Perez has been excellent since late May and Webb has an ERA just north of 3 (with a FIP just south of it to match) since joining the club.  Could just be me, but I’d much rather see the pothole come for one of the guys that are genuinely bad.
    • Is Rodriguez to the pen in the playoffs out of the question? As of right now he’s thrown about 150 innings. If I remember correctly did t Tampa do something similar with David Price?
    • I’m not disagreeing with what appears to be one of the main contentions here, which is that Westburg’s combination of offense and defense (and future potential) warrants him playing almost every day at this point.  But one of Urias, Mateo, and Frazier also has to play every day. There’s only two of Henderson and Westburg, and the rules seem to insist that we play three non-1B infielders at a time.  The announcers were speculating yesterday that Urias might be nicked up in some way, perhaps leading to the string of really bad, really uncharacteristic defensive mistakes he’s made over the last week or so. If that’s the case, then your only options at present are to play banged up Urias (who has been a big problem defensively) or to choose between Mateo and Frazier.  I’m actually fine with Mateo playing more, but the way folks rail against him ever starting against a RHP (and frankly, often even against LHPs), it sorta seems like Hyde is damned no matter which way he goes. I just don’t think it’s realistic to say that Frazier should never play, given the realities of the roster right now.
