Show of hands, who had Gerrit Cole and Kyle Bradish with the same ERA on August 20th? I sure as hell didn't.

I knew he was extremely underrated but I didn't expect him to be quite this good. Still only our second-best pitcher behind 2.5 fWAR Gibson though.

Do you all think Vespi is a good pitcher?

Would be great to get 9 outs out of Vespi.

I'll have some of what you're smoking.

Mediocre.

If you are Gunnar and you smash a ball into the gap do you dog it to first and stay or do you hustle for a double?

You hustle and then slide off the bag....

He's probably pretty typical for the last guy in the bullpen for a major league team.

Mateo has hit the ball well today.

I thought Bradish was the O's best pitcher and could be a good #2 starter, so I thought it could happen.

I mean Gibson has thrown many more innings.  But in the end it comes back to this, who do you feel most confident on the a mound, Gibson or Bradish? You know the answer.

Grayson.

If Henderson gets a hit here, I believe it will be the first time he has gotten to .250 all year.

It was tongue-in-cheek. Just making a point about why pitching fWAR sucks.

Gunnar will bat this inning going for the cycle.

I know it doesn't work this way, but I'm at the point where I want to save some of these runs for next game.
