This is why I think Fuji pitches himself off this roster. He's not good in high leverage or super low leverage.

I agree..

Fortunately for Fuji the WS were desperate to lose that game.

[Aristotelian]

Wow, that is absolutely inexcusable. Send that guy back to the minors. I don't think I've ever seen a game end that way

For the second straight year, we match our previous year's win total in the month of August.

It's going to be REALLY tough to do it 3 years in a row.

If we go .500 the rest of the way (15-15), we will match our best record in the last 42 years.

Chicago, help us win tomorrow!!

Ticket prices will probably be raised next year because the cost of fireworks this year has gone well beyond what was budgeted.

[Gurgi]

We might win 100 games.   And I think only five. Oriole teams have won 100 games.  69,70,71,79,80

Imagine if this team wins 100?  What an unreal year we are having.

Cowser did nothing when he came up to MLB and he hasn't been good since he got sent back down.  Fangraphs and a couple others have been critical of him for awhile now.  Not saying he won't figure it out but it's silly to think he's a lock for taking over for Anthony Santander to start next season.

Cowser did nothing so we should just write off his career.  This is why Elias makes these decisions and not any of us here at the Hangout.  Thank God!  I like Santander but these guys are going to try to get max back from him.  If they can’t I guess they will wait.

I just love Tony and Q in interviews.

Yeah! This team is so likable that even the translator is part of the crew. Special season no matter what happens the rest of the way.

He's done so many.  It's like once a week now!

It's a shame Kremer didn't get the win.

How has Cowser “not been good” since going back to Norfolk? That’s just not even true, if you have given up on him because of what he showed in the majors, just say that.

I never came close to suggesting we should write off Cowser's career -- what I did say, clearly, is that he should not be a lock to start for Santander at the beginning of next season.  If anything Elias has been biased in favor of veterans -- especially the ones who are key to their current ways of winning.
