Normally, if you win 2 out of 3 every series, you will be more than fine. The trouble in this case is that your competition has been winning 4 out of 5.

I really thought after TB lost McClanahan and Franco they'd pack it in.. instead the opposite has happened.

Reminder that Chicago wanted Jackson Holliday for Dylan Cease.

Because if he can get through the 4th and 5th scoreless that saves the bullpen a little bit. I get that overall this has been a disaster of a start for him but it's not hard to figure out why he'

When Adam Frazier singled home the 4th run, the Orioles had a win probability of 85%. Win Probability didn't know Gibson and Voth were going to be the two pitchers holding that 4-0 lead. lol 

Gibson has become quite frustrating. He had a 6.10 ERA over his last 12 starts and that obviously went up after today.

I wouldn’t expect them to pack it in.  I would have thought they hadn’t played this well but they are beating bad teams as the Orioles have.  Lets see what September brings.  They have a tougher schedule at least on paper.

I refuse to complain after winning 2 of 3 once again, but I wasn't watching this one and would be frustrated after they took a 4-0 lead in the first and you start thinking another laugher. Then, Gibson gives it right back up. That's not why he was acquired. 

Veteran pitchers are not supposed to just get creamed after being given a 4-run lead. One of the problems with Gibson is when he's bad, he's real bad. the good news is tends to get on a string of decent outings after a real bad one so hopefully he'll be better the next time out. 

But yeah, this was a stinker.

Gibson is way to inconsistent to start in playoffs

Barring a miracle bottom of the 9th, we will finish August at 18-9.

If Tampa wins tonight, they will finish August 17-8, pretty much the same as us.
If Tampa loses tonight, they will finish August 16-9. a game worse than us.

They have swept one series in the entire month so far (Colorado).   A win tonight would give them a 2nd (a 2 game series vs Miami).
We have already swept two 3 game series this month (Mets and A's).

Not sure where this perception is coming from that they are playing way better than us.   It's been pretty darn even.   We were a LITTLE better than them early in the month and they have been a LITTLE better than us the last week or week and a half.

      As I said....so many of you guys are basing what you see with JH based on social media hype.  He has been very good as a young player.  I agree.   I don't see elite elite elite.   You are being fooled if you do.  And I promise you that if JH did not have the last name HOLLIDAY?  In other words not his dads last name but lets say the last name of Jackson Blow?   He would not be as hyped.   Social media these days means a lot.  I will equate this to Bronny James who just was drafted in the NBAs 2nd round and given a guaranteed contract despite never doing much of....anything.  In fact he averaged 4 points as a Frosh at USC lol.  Give me a break.   Again...stop thinking of JH as this amazing super duper prospect and look at real life.  What have you seen him do that is so amazing compared to MIller?  Miller is amazing.  Can help us win now and the next 2 years. JH?  Is not going to help this year and probably next next as well.

      So you’re saying he’s elite for his age?   Going to be an elite ML player?  Right now he’s got issues and he’s not an elite AAA player.   I suspect he’s going to turn it around at some point but he’s got a ways to go.

      One of the highest rated YOUNGEST, CHEAPEST, and controllable pitchers in MLB (in other words he is performing at the highest level).........compared to a guy who has never performed at the highest level and in fact was one of the worst players ever in his brief time here. Miller can help us win a WS NOW.  Next year.  And the year after. What is JH going to do during that time?

      No he actually thinks that’s good value.  It’s clear he just doesn’t understand.

      i think that is satire lol a RP and a fringe starter for the undisputed top prospect in the game.

      I really don't think you would get much more than what I proposed.   Don't look at 'potential'.  Look at current situations and what can you do for me now.  I could be wrong but..... Mason Miller is posting Andrew Miller type numbers (in other words elite elite elite) while being way younger, way cheaper than him, and more controllable that Andrew Miller and.... JH has been injured this year and been terrible with the Os and just OK this year with AAA. I see this as a pretty even trade.
