Fuji is Japanese. 

McCann is fluent in Japanese.

Or more likely, Fuji knows some English.  Perhaps not enough to be comfortable doing an interview in English with a camera shoved in his face, but knows enough to be about to communicate with his catcher.  Same applies to many of the Hispanic members of our team.

This could very well be true. There is a humongous sized gap between him and all of our other relievers. None of them are really any good (mediocre at best).

Not sure if you intentionally omitted him or not, but I think Yennier is good. He has a 1.78 ERA in as many innings as Felix has pitched. Obviously he started the year off really hot, but he's a rookie and hitting a wall should be expected. The graphic they showed on the broadcast today showing how much he has switched up his pitches recently tells me he's adjusting back.

It’d get my vote

Yes, even better than yesterday--love to see that it's some players who are either just back from the IL or Norfolk or in the doghouse (Mateo, Mullins, Fujinami, Vespi) and Hyde's questionable but successful moves that won the game, rather than the typical Mountain shut-down.

Yea I notice on a lot of post game interviews the Spanish speaking fellas only need the translator for the responses.

    • It would be foolish to discount Burnes value to this team. He needs to be brought back unless the cost becomes absurd.
    • Bradish likely misses most of 2025
    • I do get tired of his post game press conferences where he praises the other team's pitching profusely. He definitely isn't fiery, that's for sure. But having said that, he likely isn't getting fired. But, his seat is getting pretty warm and if we don't take the next step in the playoffs next year, he's likely gone.  As much as some of his in game decisions drive me crazy, he isn't the one taking the feeble at bats. The three pitching coaches ( I think they call one guy the offensively coordinator or something) need to go. 
    • One thing I noticed and don’t care for is…….” We have Bautista coming back so we don’t need to sign All-star FA closer “  and “ since we have Elfin coming back we dont need resign Burnes “ and “ we have Bradish returning from injury so why we need another FA starter ? “  My point is that we can’t count on Bautista , Bradish , Wells , Means & others to return and pick up where they left off .  I advocate Elias to strike hard and fast during upcoming Free Agency season .  
    • Hey man, It breaks my heart that the O’s destroyed our season of hope. Hyde’s got to go. Watching those post-game excuses and lack of fire is not good for inspiration - club house or fans!. Pathetic. Call out stuff, not play victim. Apparently every team had amazing pitching! (Eye roll). A re-set is going to happen. A few more guys getting experience, a few guys going away, and revamping that horrible bullpen. Easy moves: let Santander walk, don’t waste money on LT contracts for SP - even Burnes, get Alex Bregman! , get more speed!   
    • Division is going to be tough next year.  Rays have reloaded, Red Sox have a new core in place and will likely supplement with a big Fa splash or two, and the Yankees will continue to be the Yankees. Ultimately O’s success or lack thereof will rest on the improvement of their young positional talent, but seems like we need to add some kind of weapon vs left handed pitching.  And will need to either replace or resign Burnes, not something easy to do without significant financial investment.
