White Sox and Cardinals have been in a delay in St Louis for over an hour... with the score 6-5 Chicago, with two outs in the bottom of the 10th and the bases loaded with two outs.

There's a good chance that when the game resumes, it will end on one batter, one way or another.  A hit likely scores 2 Cardinals and wins it, an out and the White Sox win.   Just a fairly small chance they get a walk or something to tie it and play further.

I can't imagine any fans, even the most dedicated, would wait out a delay like that knowing that it would fairly likely be just one batter when it does eventually resume.

You have his first name wrong.   It's CIonel.

Because he committed the cardinal sin of giving up a hit? I mean, these are major league hitters on the other team.   Watching every one panic and use terms like "bad CIonel" and "meltdown" becau

Just in time to see 3 straight outs after 2 on none out. Perfect Starr. AS needs to take a week off.

That’s just stupid.

      Maikol Hernandez: The classic example of Latin American Volatility

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      Most of these kids are still 17 or 18, and the ones who have made it to full season ball have only been there for a couple of months.  A bit early for them to have 'completely tanked', no?

      A. I didn't quote you, or anyone else, in my reply B. What are you talking about?  I'm agreeing with you (and the post from SG that preceded my original post) that Hernandez is a flame out, that he won't be the last, and that its not a big deal because we're at least in the market.   I don't get what the issue is or what I didn't 'get' from the thread.

      Choices: how many big long term contracts will the O’s be able to afford?

      As soon as Phillips started citing catchers ERA, he lost the argument.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      It’s, without question, that there will be more teams willing to trade in the offseason than the teams this year.  In the offseason, every team is on the table to trade. That’s not the case now. What history tells you is that pitching fetches more at the deadline…but a team like Seattle, for example, isn’t trading one of their starters for offense right now but they could deal one in the offseason, when they could replace them.

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

      By wildcard · Posted

      The O's have a bunch of players that potential need to be protected this off season.   Since there are not a lot of trades after the season before November 20th when the rosters are set for the Rule 5 draft, the time to think about trading players that don't make the 40 man roster in November is at the trade deadline. Here is the November 40 man roster as I see it right now. 1.  GRod 2. Irvin 3. Suarez 4.Kremer 5. Povich 6.McDermott 7. S. Johnson 8. Bradish 9. Wells - IL next season 10. Bautista 11. Kimbrel 12. Cano 13. Coulombe 14.  Perez 15. Akin 16. Tate 17.  Webb 18. Baker 19. Adley 20.  McCann  - Signed to a one year extension 21.  Hunt 22.  Mountcastle 23.  Holliday 24.  Gunnar 25.  Westburg 26.  Mayo 27.  Urias 28. Mateo 29. O' Hearn 30. Norby 31.  Cowser 32.  Kjerstad 33.  Stowers 34.   Mullins - To be traded but not before Nov 20th 35.  Hays - To be traded but not before Nov 20th 36.  McGough 37. Strowd  - Have heard he has the arm but has not done well at AAA yet 38. Tavera - Did well at AA. Bad start at AAA. 39.  Young 40. Cook 41. Daniel Johnson 42. Held Players not included on the 40 FA:  Burnes, Means, Santander Out of options and will not make the 26 man roster: Vespi, Zimmermann On the 40 man roster but probably will not be protected: Stoudt, Krook, Heasley Probably will not be protected:  Handley, Vavra, Banuelos, Maton, Haskin, Armbruester, Teheran, Corbin Martin, Luis Gonzalez, Charles, Bowens, Collin Burns, Rhodes, Brnovich, Pham, Ryan Watson, Ryan Long  Bottom line:   Things will change over the next 6 weeks but  if Elias trades Norby and two  pitchers such as Tavera, Held or Strowd  for a  high leverage reliever he will clear the way to protect everyone on my current protect list. Trading Hays and Mullins in December or January opens space for established pitchers on the winter.   If they want to open at bats for Mayo, O'Hearn may be traded this off season. Who do you see the O's protecting and how does that impact who  the O's trade at the deadline?
