Wow, Pat Sajek is here. Enjoying his retirement. Is he an Orioles fan? He's sitting next to Cal.

Yes, he has always been an Oriole fan.   Was he one of the minority owners in the Angelos group?   I'm not sure.

Of course I wouldn’t turn it down, but that doesn’t mean it’s not stupid.
Why not give them $10,000 to have an interview before or after the game instead of during the game while you’re supposed to be concentrating on the game, even if you’re in the dugout you’re supposed to be studying the pitches and the placement and all that happy Zen baseball stuff.

I'd be ok if they were miked and it's just them chatting with each other. But to have to think about questions is messed up. 

Among the long list of reasons these interviews depress me, is how unimaginative they are. Wow, we have the tech to mic up players in game. So let’s use it to ask the same stupid questions and get the same stupid answers. :bangwall:

You mean you didn't want to know who he plays video games with and who he would want to be stranded on a desert island with?

I don't recall seeing his name among the group. Mostly a bunch of Wall Street guys who are Rubenstein's partners, Grant, Cal, and Bloomberg.

    • The last column is IRS, which means “inherited runners scored”  Inherited runners would be IR and I am surprised that I didn’t see it anywhere in that column. This particular site has a different set of initials, IRS means inherited runners scored. I don’t think that can possibly be correct, because that would be a huge number.
    • LOL. 1.  I never said Basallo was an elite athlete. 2. I’ve said I’d like to see Basallo improve his plate discipline similar to what he showed 2nd half last year. 3. Basallo also needs to keep improving defensively. 4. I hope Basallo can improve over the 2nd half of the season. 5. I’d like to see Holliday cut down the strikeouts and get his average over .300 6.  I think he has a flaw in his mechanics which causes him to pull off the ball.  I hope he corrects it.   Where’s the problem?
    • Trust me, you missed nothing by missing the Coliseum.   Why “should” we have swept Seattle?   They’re leading their division, playing in their park.  I’m really happy to have taken 2 of 3.  Losing the 2-0 lead was disappointing but the offense just didn’t do much in that game and obviously the pen had a bad day.   More generally, I never “expect” a sweep of any opponent.   Sure, I hope for some sweeps, and we’ve had some.  But even a team like Oakland wins more than 1/3 of its games, and the odds basically never favor a sweep even when a really good team faces a really bad one.   Just win the game in front of us, that’s my plan.   
    • I'm going to somebody other than Akin.  Perez wasn't available since he pitched in back to back games. Same goes for Kimbrel.  I generally like Cano when he hasn't had a ton of rest which hurts sinkerballers, so he'd be a decent option.  In order of preference there: Webb Cano Let Baker finish it out Akin  Tate I reckon Hyde had that Showalter in him and was hoping to use Webb in the 9th. But I'm really opposed to just slotting guys into innings and more about putting them in based on effectiveness and situation. High leverage is really going against guys like Akin. 
    • BBref game logs, you can click and highlight by month or whatever stretch of starts that you want.
    • That works, though I'd really prefer it if we didn't trade within the division, if possible.  I'd rather our prospects helped other teams rather than rivals.
