When will Voth be demoted. When will Mateo be replaced? When will Mountcastle lose playing time? When will Westburg and Cowser be called up. 
 

im losing hope with this team. 

That’s hilarious.

The Orioles earned every ounce of that loss. 

Why cant we just bring the kids up?   The guys we have are just average to below replacement.  What is the harm of bringing up Westburg or Cowser?  And Mateo.  We know what he is now.  He isnt a big league hitter.  He has no patience or disipline.  So what he is fast.  Use him as a pinch runner/super utility.  He is not a starting everyday guy.  He just cant do it for a full season.   And Mountcastle is so one dimensional.  He sucks in the field.  Cant scoop a ball in the dirt and wont walk and swings at everything even if it is a foot high.  

Mountcastle has minor league options.  Shock his butt with a trip back to Norfolk.  Make him work on pitch recongnition and defense.

Why even use Bautista if you were going to Voth in extras lmao

Because you are playing with house money at that point. You don’t deserve to win but you start off the 10th with a guy on second. The only way you get there is if Voth doesn’t walk you off in the 9th.

Melanie... so much good to take away from this game!!!

Melanie is trash.  I just mute her.....and Palmer is old and bumbling now sorry to say.  Last four years or so Palmer has lost quite a lot.

Maybe I got the wrong guy.  I saw one guy with awesome stikeouts low walks and an ERA in the 2's.  

Stats look good, but he's a junkballer that I think would struggle against major leaguers.

By the way, and this is not for you but to all, last night was an earned loss, but it was also an earned win by the Brewers.

In 162 game schedule, sometimes you are just going to get outplayed.

This team is resilient. They'll bounce back.

    • A question precedes #2: when will the left field wall be fixed?  I think I remember Elias saying they probably went too far, which is quite literally true.  No reason they can't fix it quickly.  I had no problem with them moving it back but it is pretty absurd where it is.
    • On #3, I would guess that Elias is very wary about going longer than 3 years for a starting pitcher (maybe four years if pitcher is younger and AAV is favorable).  I think Mike and Sig believe the history of long-term SP deals isn’t favorable and the wrong deal could derail a mid-market team with dead money.  I’m not sure they are wrong (e.g., Patrick Corbin, Strasberg).   I don’t think ownership cares directly; I would guess they just give Elias an annual baseball ops budget and forecast and he can choose how he manages against that.   Not in play Gerrit Cole Corbin Burnes Max Fried Blake Snell Jack Flaherty    Possible free agent targets Yusei Kikuchi Nathan Eovaldi Nick Pivetta Sean Manaea Luis Severino Alex Cobb Max Scherzer Justin Verlander Jose Quintana Frankie Montas Spencer Turnbull Andrew Heaney Matthew Boyd   Possible trade targets Garret Crotchet Sandy Alcantera Jesus Luzardo Eduardo Cabrera Reid Detmers Emerson Hancock Jordan Montgomery Lance McCullers Jr.
    • Is Webb anything special.  I would rather replace Webb with Norfolk shuttle guy.
    • Our SS is Gunnar, our CF in this scenario would be Cowser, and C is Adley. Hopefully none of those guys are in contention for being the team's worst hitter next season. We don't need a power bat in LF - we need to add a good contact bat, that can use all fields and run.
    • Kemp was part of it but bringing back 2 UTIL IF is blocking your best prospect when your manager covets veteranosity. If they aren’t resigned then Holliday gets a longer leash. 
    • LF is a bit of a waste of a spot for #9 hitter.  Its not a premium defensive position so you shoudl be able to get a decent bat who can also play there.  If you're worst hitter isn't an SS, C or CF, either you're contending for a WS , or something isn't quite right.  And this team isn't quite WS contenders just yet.
    • A lot could change between now and then, but right now he's the 4th starter. I like Povich more than most around here and think he can be a solid 4th starter. He may have been command days, but he doesn't get hit hard.  The cool new Baseball Savant chart shows his fastball and curve and have above average movement and is why his slightly below average velocity (.9 MPH below MLB avg for LHP) plays up a bit.
