The strike zone is about as wide as the basepaths.

Flaherty is a mental midget. Body language always sucks.

Who said this?  After a season of Robinson Chirinos hitting like a pitcher while being one of the worst defensive catchers in the league, I was perfectly happy acquiring O'Hearn.

I'm sorry but what does O'Hearn have to do with Chirinos? Totally different set of functions on the team.

I'm not going to look it up but I'll owe you a few rounds if the majority of responses were not either negative, befuddlement, or disinterest--and they were based on a very clear record of O'Hearn not having done well at all with the Royals the previous four seasons (OPS+'s all between 69 and 73).  I think I was one of the few--if not the only poster--to point out that there was some hope in the fact that he seemed like a phenom his first season.

I didn't have a problem with O'Hearn. I also didn't think that he would be an above-average player this year and I didn't think the O's would be leading the division at any point this year. Glad I was wrong about the last 2 things.

      Getting to hear Jason Benetti, Carlos Pena and Kirk Gibson some of the afternoon was a treat. It was new to me earlier this year Gibson is still broadcasting almost a decade after his Parkinson's diagnosis...good for him. Benetti dumping the White Sox for the Tigers gives me some Miller to San Francisco vibes...he is excellent. Baseball as entertainment - it is wonderful that Carlos Pena, literally the player pushed aside so Scott Hatteberg could play offense more efficiently, has become a strong SABR-oriented analyst.

      I don't think the rookies get to pick what the wear.  I 100% am sure the vets are picking these outfits.

      How "fired up" are you with this Yankee series?

      I’d be shocked if the O’s do better than 2-4, and I’m half expecting them to go 1-5.

      I watched the inning where the Tigers scored their 2 runs.  Our friend Meadows had two check swings that easily could have been called strikes, but instead he walked to load the bases.  Carpenter popped out but then Perez had an insane at-bat where he fouled off a ton of pitches, wasn't fooled by anything, and then delivered a bases loaded double which proved to be the difference. Our guys would likely have whiffed on just about every pitch in those at-bats, but their guys have a crazy amount of confidence right now and it has served them very well.   I do think they have a good chance of winning out and ending with 88 just based on who they play, which means we have to go 3-3 this week or we are out of the 4 spot.  Hopefully their luck will finally run out against us (assuming we can win enough to get in), but if it doesn't, I would love to see them knock out the Yankees.

      If they played baseball another month maybe. Elias has been pretty much no comment on anything other than time is not on his. His last Lat issues had him control problems ( I Believe ) when he first came back. I'm just happy to have the others back.

      6 games left, they haven’t won more than one game in a series since the beginning of the month (against the White Sox for context). I see no reason to think they’ll do any better than 2-4 for remainder of the season.    Plus, i said it “feels” like. It’s an emotional response, not an analytical one. I’m going off the premise that they’ve been an absolute mess for quite a while and a playoff spot seems like a weird place to be for a team that’s played .400 ball since the All Star Break.  They could sweep the rest of the season, who knows? Just saying it feels bleak.
