I give Gibson a sincere golf clap on that outing. It wasn’t pretty or completely satisfactory, but it could have been far worse.

After that first inning, glad he got that far, but still I would like to see him going a full 6 innings more often.

How do GM's tell other GM's who they want to trade at deadline times?  Do they send a mass communication to all teams?  Or do they only approach teams that we might have identified as having a player we want?

Hard to go 6 innings when you throw 30+ in the 1st

Yeah he was getting into territory where sometimes managers pull you just because you have thrown too much in one inning.   I heard they dont like to let guys get 40 pitches in one inning and I think Gibson got 36 in the first alone.

It seems to me that the number of completely non competitive pitches being thrown across MLB has increased this year. Am I just nutty?—or are pitchers getting a less consistent grip on things—maybe in pursuit of a few more nasty pitches per at bat?

No idea but if they are the pitch clock might be part of the issue.

    • Not trying to be naive or contradictory, but are we sure that he's swinging at bad pitches?  
    • I tend to agree, I'm not convinced. Cowser had hand/nerve stuff and continued to play his game. Westburg broke his hand, came back, and looked good. Not sure why getting hit on the hand suddenly made Adley swing at trash out of the zone. 
    • I hate that Adley getting hit on the hand is the excuse why he kept playing and his season went down the crapper, yet Italian Breakfast gets hit on the hand, breaks his thumb and works his ass off to get back to his team in time for the playoffs.    I’m a 50% believer that Adley getting hit on the hand is the reason that he was so bad towards the end of the season, but it still doesn’t explain the drop in OBP. He’s getting down to Adam Jones levels of on base percentage.  His approach seems to be totally different than when he first came up. A hurt hand doesn’t have anything to do with that. 
    • I watched both the Elias and Hyde press conferences in full and they both get weird around the Adley question. You can feel the hesitation on saying it's not an injury, and the way they kind of squirm around the question. If we can point to the HBP then surely they can do and would have done MRIs if Adley still felt iffy after the x-ray. Unless he's truly hiding it. But it sure feels like all parties know about something and for some reason that makes no sense to me, they aren't divulging it. 
    • They might not even know. Initial x-rays were negative, it's possible that Adley thought he could just play through it and maybe it wasn't painful, just fatigued? Who knows. But unless Adley tells them (assuming they're not hiding it), nothing they can really do. Wonder if Adley just felt the All Star Break was coming up, so he'd just deal.  I think it's way too obvious of a data point to ignore, personally. 
    • One interesting thing is I think he homered later that game and it was his last for a while. 
    • Roster-wise and money-availability-wise, yes, the Orioles are the best fit of the 30 teams.  Location-wise and track-record-of-spending-wise, not so much.  I kind of think SF is the team. Posey just meddled in the terrible signing of Chapman, as former player GMs often do, and I could see him going hard after a big signing and overpaying like hell for him.
