The slider is a BP pitch this afternoon. This is on the catcher.

Flaherty is the definition of mediocre.

Hadn't heard this one before.   So I had to check it out.

We've scored in the first inning 35 times this year (which, by the way, isn't too good.  That HAS been a season long issue).

In those 35 times, counting today, the opponent has scored in the next half inning 10 times.

Is 10 out of 35 really that bad????    I don't think so.   How many innings in a game does a team typically score?   Somewhere between 3 and 4 on average?   So it seems to me that we are pretty average in that regard, maybe even a little better than average.

But we certainly don't have a problem in this area, like your "MUST" seems to imply.  10 times out of 35 isn't bad.

Part off my whining and venting is exaggerating...so how about "we often' give back runs...will that work?

Carroll is impressive.  He doesn't look like a ballplayer, but that kid can play.  That was easy power on that homerun.

Flaherty is a mental midget. Body language always sucks.

He's dead average.  Much faster than old man Frazier or Santander.

MLB average, yes. But I think the question was in relation to the rest of the Orioles.

Flaherty has what, five pitches? Just don't throw any more sliders.

This telecast seems abnormally obsessed with fans in the stands today.

And he's clearly faster than a number of other Orioles.

I'm not sure how anyone can watch Adley and Frazier run and think Adley is slower.

I would appreciate never having to see Flaherty pitch in an O’s uniform again.

Mediocre would be fine.  Is he mediocre?  I'm not sure he is.

Hey, that Elias' big trading deadline deal!  Don't go saying bad things about him.
