No. I really don’t see it that way. 

Think of how much higher his trade value will be in the off-season if he throws a perfect game!

Can you pitch a position player if up 8?

[SteveA]

So much for scoring every inning

Yeah we were that awful team so recently I actually am taking no extra joy by smashing them into the ground.  Its a real sad sight now with them going to move to Las Vegas and losing a 100 games a year.  But so happy the Orioles are past that stage. 

At least it's not the NFL, where you can be selling out games and have incredible fan support and they'll move the team anyway.

[Gurgi]

I was watching an in depth review of the Orioles and how they are winning.  They said that the Orioles are not really elite at anything at all except for perhaps late inning relief pitching.   Only Bradish was above a major league average starter.  Our defense was middle of the pack.  Our hitting was middle of the pack.  Our starters were slightly below middle of the pack.   We were getting slightly above average production out of every position except SS.  SS we were very low on because of Mateo.

They really couldnt figure out how we were doing it.

There goes perfect game, no-hitter, and scoring in every inning. I will take the W.

Moving teams is the American sports equivalent of relegation in soccer (everywhere but the US). But at least in relegation, the fans do not lose their team. The American system is horrible.

Too many pitches was my concern. 
 

He is the Game 1 starter.

Our hitting is better than middle of the pack. Some truth to what you are saying though.

I don’t think he was alluding to that…I think it was more along the lines of winning the games and winning the division, injuries, etc. 

But not being able to enjoy a perfect game bid in a playoff race is pretty silly.

Bradish losing concentration here a little.
