Becoming a thme against the elite guys. Miller and Holmes made them look like Children. Those are the guys in the playoffs...

There's a reason they are in the playoffs. Dominant relievers are just that.

You mean like Santander did and popped up?

You know how it does.  If they swing at the first pitch and something bad happens it was a mistake.  If they don't swing at the first pitch and something bad happens it was a mistake.

So far this season he hasn't changed my mind about risking a QO.

Likely he has an off season.  Maybe 18 hr.  65 rbi.  Looses lots of playing time to Kjerstad or someone like him and leaves in the off season.

I’m glad Yohan is a really positive guy, Kevin. Great story, tell it again. 

Kevin still struggles to know when it's story time or not.

Miller and Holmes are some of the best closers/relief pitchers in the sport. If our postseason hopes comes down to having to beat them with any regularity I would say a bunch of stuff has gone wrong before that. 

You are not going to make a living beating guys like that.

Basically if they get out it was a mistake. lol

    • People are being a bit ridiculous with the holier than thou takes criticizing a little humor. I am not saying what happened couldn’t cause a significant concussion, but it would be a bit of a fluke if it did. Mullins barely hit him with the bat and he had a helmet on. The fact that it was in the back of the head did make him more vulnerable, but this wasn’t the type of thing you see and think he was lucky to be alive.  Guys have probably hit their heads harder on the top of the dugout or on the fence making catches.  And note this comes from someone whose son has suffered severe concussions and who is well aware of the dangers associated with them. In short, people need to lighten up a bit on guys like Roy.  It was a little gallows humor. 
    • Yeah, you read that wrong. LA2 is one of my favorite posters here and he knows it. No harm, no foul. If you aren't familiar with the game threads, it doesn't matter what the team is doing, people complain about it and people did make that same joke in the game thread long before Roy said it here. Game thread in summary - when the O's are not doing well, it's insufferable, when they are doing well, it's mildly less insufferable. There, that wasn't hard. I'd appreciate it if you didn't assume I'm throwing shade at people. I'll leave that up to you to do, you're really good at it.
    • Comp a. Like Gunnar, and beavers…
    • Wasn't Westburg a 2nd round draft pick?  It's a little early to judge last year's draft.
    • Before Elias.  They generally haven’t missed on a 1st round or 1st round comp pick with the position players.   I trust they’ll make a good decision at #22 and #32.   Their track record in rounds 2-4, particularly on college position players and specifically the last three drafts is suspect.   
    • Anyone want to guess what it would take to get Crochet from the White Sox?  We could send SG over to ask politely and remind them of what they missed out on Ortiz.  I'm sure that wouldn't stir up a hornet's nest.
