Wednesday, June 5: Orioles at Toronto

[Chavez Ravine]

Managing decisions aside, at some point later in the year we will need Kimbrel to beat the best dude the other team has to throw against us in a big situation. I am not too happy about the prospects.

That was about as dominant a half inning as you’ll see.  Tip of the cap to Yimi. 

Yimi is a free agent after this year, and he's making $6 million this year.   If the Jays fall out of it, I wonder if they'll make him available???

LOL.   We are on a pace to win 100+ games.   But it "feels like Elias is going to punt"????

You know better than to take anything he says seriously.

That's why Elias needs to trade for high leverage bullpen arm. I don't want rely on what version of Kimbrel decides to show up that night.

Would you retire if someone wanted to give you 13M?

No!! I was sarcastic about a loss.

This may have saved Schneider's job.

The May 13 win in Baltimore, Schneider got demonstrative in his postgame interview how it was a big win for May 13th.

I feel like Atkins with this group early went to the "fire the manager" move, and Schneider still yet isn't to two full seasons.

Elias is punting on 2024?  Can I nominate this for the dumbest post in the Game thread?

Nomination received!

Do we?   We had scored 3+ runs in 13 games in a row until tonight.

This is the first time in two weeks we only got 2.

Tonight was a rarity.   We are the highest scoring team in all of baseball this year.   Ahead of the Yankees.

 

True except that during that same period we've lost ground.

How about trade for Chad Green?

Yimi was worth -0.1 WAR last year. Maybe he has changed the repertoire and this is who he is now, but I wouldn't want to give up a lot for him.

Yes. And it wins, too.

And he stunk against the O's last year too. 

There's a warehouse analyst or three whose current job is mostly devoted to identifying which of this year's Yimi Garcias are the most likely to keep it going through October.

It beats the one that Tony deleted?
