No, he's been throwing hard, just command is off and a lot of really hard hit balls. 

Totally--and like I said, defer to those actually watching. Just trying to understand the "hope he's not hurt" stuff. Just seems like a guy with electric stuff not having a truly dominant start.

I agree, sometimes he should catch.

Always like to see a 7-1 score. Reminds me of my first ML game: Phillies 7, Pirates 1 on August 31, 1957. Attendance was 5,141.

When I said he doesn't look comfortable, I meant his demeanor.

He's probably had that hat for 25 years and with the price of new hats being saved, he can sign Gunnar.

Reminds me of a line from some comedy or ad.

Damn your a true old timer.  Respect.  What was your most memorable game you saw live?

Hard to pick from among the 66 and 83 World Series clinchers, the Delmon Young win over Detroit in 2014, the Brooks statue game (well, not the game), last year's Sunday (September 17) win over the Rays in 11 innings, my first visit to Camden Yards in 1992, watching Mussina beat Toronto from the owner's seats (several rows in front of two Supreme Court justices).

I better stop or I'll think of more.

We were supposed to go the Jim Bunning perfect game on Father's Day 1964, but someone decided it was too hot.

I've heard Santander's name pronounced about 5 different ways. Anyone know the real correct pronunciation of his name? 

Sohn-tohn-Dare?

When he first came up it was San-Tan-Der. Then it was Sahn-Tahn-Dare

      Pick your 40 man roster (protect list) for Nov 20th.

      You’re right, he was not optioned in 2022, but he was first optioned September 8, 2021 by the Blue Jays. It’s in the extra rows of latest transactions on his player page: https://www.mlb.com/player/bryan-baker-641329 I use the Roster Resource page on Fangraphs, which shows he’s on his last option this year: https://www.fangraphs.com/roster-resource/depth-charts/orioles I initially didn’t check when he was first optioned, just assumed it was 2022, but turns out it was 2021. Regardless, he’ll be out of options next year.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      Any thoughts on who that “Verlander” like player could be? I would have said Alcantara but he doesn’t have a larger contract and he is hurt. I can’t identify that kind of player out there right now. None of the obvious selling teams have any really good pitchers. Maybe Berrios or Kikuchi if the Jays decide to sell? But Kikuchi isn’t expensive and is Berios really an ace? Sonny Gray? But the Cards are actually slightly over .500. I just can’t seem to find that kind of guy out there.

      I think the Yankees series is very simple. Try to have nobody on base when Judge and Soto come to the plate. Get to there bullpen early. A lot easier said than done.

      What does the Bradish injury really mean?

      By Safelykept · Posted

      and youre persona is to ask or give multiple questions and answers to the same narrative. No quality starts? How bout seven starts with a 1.91 ERA and a whip slightly above one. OK I get it everybody waiting for it blowup, but honestly all things being equal why would be matching Suarez against Suarez so youre criticism of our Saurez is not as good as stat wise the best pitcher in the game so far. And in addition a quality start is some stat from a generation age that nobody pays attention to. No doubt the phillies getting full value for the buck on Saurez (5 mil). were paying league min. I'll take it

      Urias and Santander are slower than Rutschman.  O'Hearn is actually faster than Hays and Mountcastle. At least according to statcast sprint speed which isn't an exact analog to base stealing ability. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/sprint_speed?min_season=2024&max_season=2024&position=&team=BAL&min=10

      Hopefully the O's took notes on the Red Sox exposing Trevino on Sunday night. Anyone not named McCann, Rutschman, and O'hearn - if you get on base, just run.

      I just read a take on his changeup that loved it - thought it might help him be a "reverse splits" kind of RH middle reliever. Right now the Orioles have a bunch of lefties though should Coulombe end up okay.
