Your kidding right?   You cant be serious.  Holy crap I thought I was too emotional.   

He's joking, using capital letters for comedic effect.

You are aware we are a team that last year won 83 games?  We are designed to win or lose on our drafted players.  The whole plan was to bring up prospects.  The fact we are twenty games over .500 is a surprise to everyone in baseball including Elias.  

The team will win or lose on our prospects.  That is just the facts. 

What prospects have contributed to winning this season?

I really don't see it with Gray-Rod. I'm not sure why he can't get it together. I think his mental is not very good. Such a difference in composure between him and Bradish. 

Bradish had an ERA over 7 his first 10 starts in the majors.  One has a year of experience the other has 7 starts.

I wish we still had Rougned Odor and Jordan Lyles instead of a bunch of useless prospects

What is Hicks OPS as an Oriole?

Who cares? Im Not talking about what he did in early June. I’m talking right now, when you and your other alter egos are crying about what Cowser is doing right now.

Henderson?

Hyde likes pinch hitting rookies. Doesn't make sense to me, they need real reps, not token at bats. Start them and then pinch hit with the vets as necessary.

We won 83 games after going 21-30 through May. I don't think it is a complete surprise. A bunch of us picked us to win 90+

This Vesia guy and his 6.17 ERA is going to neutralize our lineup because he throws with his left hand.

Yeah it was why I was so shocked.  But sarcasm and humor sometimes doesnt translate on a screen.  I did ask if you were kidding.  I kind of thought you had to be.

The obvious answer is Elly De La Cruz.

Ditto my Cowser remarks w respect to Westburg. Big fan but his bat is hurting the lineup that's trying to win a pennant.
