If you look at our team in detail you would be hard pressed to figure out how we were playing so good for so long.   Finally it occurs that we really have been lucky quite a few times and we are actually not that good.  

We may be built to play good over the long haul but over any shoot stretch we are NOT built to win.  We have no aces.   We have bad middle inning relief.  We have limited power.   How we did as well as we did I can not tell you.  Except that we had two dominating relievers.....

Coloumbe has been really good this year but I’m confused as to why Cano is taken out.

I think Cano just looked off tonight and they wanted to keep him available in the upcoming games. He was yanking too many of his pitches to the left. Maybe he will be more on his game in the next couple days.

This team has the 3rd best record in the MLB. At what point will you not be miserable? 

We are fading fast. Can you not see that? Our problems are obvious and we have done nothing to correct them.

    • Played at an outdoor concert festival 100 ft from my house in 2015. As did Sir Mix-a-Lot.
    • I'm not trying to knock Grayson, just pointing out that I don't agree his presence in the rotation gives the Orioles the top 3 starters in baseball.  The Yankees are not the best either imo, just a comparison point.  The Phillies may be the best -- their top 4 are probably better than the O's top 3.  But mainly I was pointing out Bradish's arm being a concern.  If he becomes unavailable for awhile the O's suddenly look uncompetitive to the point that making the playoffs may not be a foregone conclusion.  That's why the O's could maybe use another starter.  If Bradish is not available for the postseason then we're probably as good as done.
    • You only really need your 3 best SPs in a 7-game series. So the Yankees have Cole and some other solid pitchers.  Gil has never thrown more than 100 innings in his career - including the minors - so you can safely count him out for the playoffs.  I'd take Grayson over every Yankee pitcher that will most likely be available in the playoffs except for Cole. And Cole, like Bradish, is coming off a significant injury which could easily knock him back out for the season. 
    • Hays has shown multiple times that he's not a good player when tolerating/dealing with injuries. 
    • I’m not sure if this is what you’re talking about, but the 2pm show on 105.7 did a Pham segment with an AI voiced Tommy Pham. I rarely listen to their show anymore, but this was maybe the worst thing I’ve listened to. It was frankly embarrassing.  The jist of the segment was they all wanted to trade for Pham. I get it, it’s radio, gotta get people to tune in. The two old guys are awful, but I feel bad for the younger producer getting dragged along.
    • Nice buy low candidate though I doubt even the Angels are dumb enough to trade him to the Orioles, unless it's some offer they can't refuse.  
    • Bradish feels like he could go on IL again and, while Grayson is good, I think you're overrating the still developing version of him.   I don't see how Burnes, Bradish and Grayson are the best in baseball when, just as one example, the Yankees are sporting Gil, Rodon and Stroman and probably will have Cole back soon.  Not to mention Cortes and Schmidt.
