Hahaha..

Somebody take the crack pipe away from Mike.

That's all I can picture from today's trade deadline. A bunch of middle aged guys in the warehouse passing the dutchie and laughing about "Bet you wouldn't do this- I dare ya! Hahahaha!"

I think Slater takes Hays role. They may try to pass Pache through waivers.

[Birdland in NC]

Glad that we got rid of Norby and Stowers for their sake.  Glad we kept Mullins and MountCastle. I don’t think we got enough pitching to really make a difference though.   Kind of a bummer 

[Birds08]

I’m just worried we’re going to demote Heston

[Sports Guy]

I don’t get this move at all. Not sure the fit.

[SilverRocket]

The other moves I get. This one I don't. Wonder how the roster is going to shake out.

I can see that happening and would much rather that than send down Kjerstad.

Chances Pache passes through waivers though, dunno.

They still need to send down Kjerstad. They have Eloy too.

Okay, for a day or two until Vavra goes back down that's fine.

In the end, who here care if Pache is even on the team?  For that matter, I'd be fine if Slater wasn't, and except for his glove, if Urias was elsewhere.

You think they will carry 6 outfielders without a backup infielder?

Man, Idunno.  It just kills me to think Kjerstad won't be on the team despite his recent struggles.

Got to give it to the Orioles, go get the guy batting .185 to make the guy you just traded for batting .240 look amazing!

Don’t forget Pache

They could DFA Slater…..i just don’t know why they just acquired him.

Jackson Holliday is getting called up and it has to be for Vavra's spot.
