Chuck Thompson was long ago, but I doubt that he'll ever be displaced in my memory as the best, with Miller a distant second because his work was long after my formative childhood years in Baltimore.

Now it makes sense why they brought up Lester gives them lefty bat to play at 3rd while Henderson gets some rest.  Then if he gets little worse we can IL him and Coloumbe come off leave.  

They brought him up before Gunnar's injury. Just fortuitous it worked out that way, it wasn't planned.

The question is what the hell happened against Cleveland? Worst series we've played this year given the quality of the opponent.

They punted the third game of the series.  The first game was close most of the way the Perez came in and let bunch of runs scored.  The second game we jumped out on them then let them claw their way back into it but just got the win.  The third game was the only really bad one and the offense still but up 8 runs.  The bullpen game was just a bad decision and then the pitchers made it worse by none of them doing their job.

Hyde said it was a lingering issue for a few days so he must have been having some discomfort during Guardians series they were worried about.

Maybe you'd like her followup effort, started after her partner died of leukemia?

 

I like that song better. I actually like a lot of downer feeling music, but the first song you posted was pushing it for me. I like Gillian Welch, for example, but some of her songs are just so incredibly stark and dark that it doesn’t take much for me to OD on her music.

The song was called ebb and flow.  That doesn't exactly have an upbeat vibe as a title.

Here is something more upbeat in tempo but darker thematically.

And yea, they did more than play in High School classrooms.

They are one of my go to bands when I want to listen to this style of music.

There were exactly six people at my high school who would have really dug this—they all sat together at the same lunch table.

      Orioles vs Tigers/KC (Wild Card series)

      No, as it appears to be a group think decision, where all have some input.  In the end it really doesn't matter if it's all Elias, Sigbot or Hyde or some combination of the 3, Hyde is the one who defends it to the media/fans, and he's the one who gets paid to take the critism/blame.  Either way, starting Slater is the move that WHOEVER make the decisions appears to love, so that's what I expect to see, even if it doesn't make sense based on this years performances.

      Baker optioned, Davidson called up

      By eddie83 · Posted

      I’m guessing he may be bulk reliever later in game. Have to see.

      You think Hyde alone makes the decision?

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      Gil has been terrible in his last 2 starts, he has  given up 10 earned runs in 11 innings

      It's a meaningless game so hard to read anything into it. It could also be more of an "opener" gambit so that Davidson can be brought in with favorable matchups. For a team that believes so strongly in matchups, I don't know why we don't use the opener more often, especially when it has been effective against us.

      Both are deserving. That’s not the point. How they construct the pen in ‘25 may be different. None of the guys you mentioned have been pen guys, although McDermott probably should be. Young and Rogers are more of a starter repertoire. Armbruster and others, like Tony said in another thread, should be pen arms. You need flexible and effective arms to move up and down, while they gain experience. We need some guys with some swing and miss stuff. Adding Bautista back into the back end moves everyone down a notch, but some of the guys we have now will likely have to move on for the purposes of flexibility. There is always some natural turnover, and for good reason.

      And?  If they were buying his career stats, then they were fooled by a bait and switch.  Yeah, career numbers are good, but they don't reflect the reality of this year.  .541 OPS against LHP.  Elias/Hyde has a tendency to bring in guys who might have had good career numbers, but who are not playing at that level in the current year, but then letting them play like they are performing at career levels.  Slaters numbers this year don't reflect that he should be getting starts versus LHP over Cowser, even with the struggles Cowser has had.  That said, I fully expect to see Slater starting as that's the move Hyde will love, and will then speak eloquently at how great Slater is hitting against LHP this year, even though that's clearly a lie.
