Saturday Sept. 9th, O's @ Boston

Think people are overreacting a bit to Cano though. Bautista has given up 3 runs in an inning before. I will say I think Hyde has to remember to get him work. When he comes in after 4 days off, he has struggled

Flaherty needs to go to the pen. He's been awful.

I guess could try him there.   But I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t get dropped.

Yeah, he's been a really bad pickup by Elias. It's really amazing how good this team has played with such bad trade deadline work by Elias. Flaherty has been quite the embarrassment and while Elias didn't give up for him, the fact that Verlander, Scherzer and Montgomery have all been good could come back to bit Elias come playoff time.

We'll just have to see.

One consolation: The Boston fans must have went nuclear.

I think your math is wrong. 

It is. It's 2.55 hits an inning. I blame it that ninth inning.

Yep, this is a one in a hundred years team. Seriously.

I have a feeling that if we would have seen what was being asked of the Orioles to trade for Montgomery, no one here would have done it.   As for Scherzer and Verlander, I imagine they were available for a more reasonable price and Elias might live to regret not trading for Verlander.  I am not convinced about Scherzer.   I think Fuji was a good pickup though and Webb has been really good until they pitched him into the ground.  It also appears Hall is of help and Means might help too.  But agree, one of those 3 mentioned would be nice.
