Were there any strange noises (beating of a garbage container) during those 14 pitches?  

Meh, cheating to some degree is inherent in the game itself. I know you're joking, but how are the Yankees and Red Sox less culpable than the Astros? Cell phone use to tip pitches is more subtle, I guess.

How can you not love O'Hearn?  I hope he gets that all-star spot.

2 games up on the Yankees. Keep grinding boys, just like last year walking Tampa down. Don't look back.

Love that dude.  I hope he's around for awhile.  Steady presence in the lineup, great guy.  Truly thankful for the opportunity here and he's made the most of it.

Are they joking?

You still got folks butthurt over the whole thing. 

Cheating has been part of the game since day one.

Just the classic case of MLB getting all upset and making an example out of group to try and pretend they fixed everything.

Right, and for all that they "fixed" what happened to the Astros players? Not even one player suspended. Just Hinch and Luhnow, but no players. Why? Because they had no evidence. The players corroborated the league's suspicions based on immunity for any wrongdoing. So, they cooperated and then punished the franchise by taking away a first round pick? (two years in a row?). Fine. But don't exclude the big market teams from the same justice. New York (where are the league offices again?), Boston and Los Angeles were all cheating on different levels using various techniques. 

Some fans like to point fingers, maybe that helps.

To be clear, I thought the earlier post was just a joke. So, not looking for a fight. It just strikes me as strange.

      Skubal trade..Kjerstad, Mountcastle, McDermott and Bradfield?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I will ask you the same thing that I asked him (and he did not answer) - What team could/would give them a package (that he suggests) that gives the Tigers a prospect comparable to Mayo plus Kjerstad plus more prospects? Dylan Cease was moved for nowhere near that. I agree that it might require a Mayo/Basallo level prospect as in one. But I don’t see starting pitchers in 2024 commanding that kind of trade value (that was suggested) given the injury risks/probabilities.

      Trade Proposal: Fedde & Kopech for Norby & Beavers

      By Rustbelt · Posted

      Fedde versus Suarez Fedde versus Kremer? Who would you pick for the #3 starter?   What is a 1/2 of season of success really worth?

      Do we let Povich make his next start against the NYY?

      Ultimately it does make sense since he threw 43 pitches to throw him Thursday vs Cubs and then send him down.    It would push Suarez to 6 days rest and keep Grayson on 5. Then just have to see who they start Tuesday to see who goes Sunday. They could get cute and have a pen game as well. Hate to say it but one advantage of Burnes pitching Sunday is he can’t pitch in ASG.

      I’d probably want to isolate Fedde in a trade and make it less complicated. Norby and McDermott seems fair for him.  I believe Fedde has 2.5 season left. So that’s 3 playoffs. Similar to what Bud Norris had when we traded for him.

      Trade Proposal: Fedde & Kopech for Norby & Beavers

      By Warehouse · Posted

      For me, it’s an easy yes and I’d probably go for the enhanced package to add Brebbia for a couple DSL players (excepting Jordan Sanchez, Adriander Meija, Elvin Garcia, Keeler Morfe, and Esteban Meija). - Fedde is probably similar to Kremer or maybe a slight notch below, but better than Suarez and Irvin I think.  He improves the 4 spot in the rotation this year and next year with the extra year of control.  If he gives us a 4.15 ERA over this year and next, that may not be sexy but it is valuable. - Kopech “stuff” modeling metrics are off the charts - he is 5th out 157 qualified relievers.  He has a 3.39 SIERA. He’s controlled through next year. Perhaps, most importantly, he can be optioned this year. - Brebbia has a a 2.75 SIERA, 3.14 FIP, and 3.19 xFIP. His Stuff+ is 105.  He makes our bullpen better. - All three will benefit from better defense with the Orioles. - I’m not super high on Norby or Beavers.  I’m not sure what Norby’s carrying took is. Theoretically, it’s his hit tool but he is striking out 29% of the time. He is also not a particularly patient hitter.  He has middling exit velocities and most of his AAA home runs wouldn’t be home runs at Camden Yards. His defense has been known to be a weakness.  Beavers is far from a sure thing to stick in the MLB at all, much less become an average regular or better. I’m not sure the White Sox make this deal but I would (particularly if it transacted now and we got an extra month).

      No better alternatives.    Keep evaluating him until we get another starter.  If he gets annihilated again, send him down regardless.
