Abreu is Spanish for Fujinami.

I don’t understand why we chose that option though. Like other than going cheap or thinking that we were the smartest guys in the room, what was the rationale?

Feels like we were still in tanking mindset with that move. Like that's totally the type of guy you'd take a shot on if the games don't matter and you think you can tweak some things and if it works out, great. And if not, oh well.

Frazier: good eye, good bat control, surprising power, good with RISP. I'll accept whatever the gods deal us here.

We don't know how long they were trying to get Webb.

I’m not talking about Webb not Fujinama. I’m speaking really good relievers who can be trusted in high leverage situations when our season is on the line.

[Moose Milligan]

Oh my God, Hays.  Just have a good, patient at bat.

The Tigers had legit chances to win the WS and refused to get anyone else to help or upgrade Valverde. It’s all they needed - makes no sense to me that the Os would decide to make the same decision.

They need to get McDermott or Povich up here and hope like hell they get something out of Means or Hall.

But they had Joba Chamberlain!

chasing on a low and outside slider, didn't see that coming.

[SilverRocket]

Dave Johnson used a lot of words to describe the purpose of a breaking ball

[O's84]

 Hanging breaking ball there that Hays just missed.  Story of the game up, same with O'Hearn with 2 runners on.

[LA2]

Mel put in the jinx on the Grand Salami by Hays.

[LA2]

Nice low FB on Westburg for 1st strike.

[MDK02]

Two terrible ABs. 

[Moose Milligan]

Of course.

[dtk9119]

Pathetic. Can't even score a couple runs.

You absolutely can not bring him in any kind of a higher leverage situation.

He just can’t handle it right now. He needs to be treated the same way you treated a guy like Akin
