We have six hits in the last 15 innings. I took more hits off my bong in the last inning.

I wish the ump would throw me out from watching the game.

No fire, no passion! Hyde needs to be ripping heaters in the dugout and yelling at umpires every night and getting thrown out of games all the time so we know his heart is really in this! Why, if every manager was like Earl Weaver and Billy Martin, we could just sit back and easily be able to tell whether or not they had passion and fire!

Blaaaaarrrggggh! Passion and fire would make Coby Mayo better at defense!

Angels lead Yankees 6-0 in the 2nd

The Yanks are getting their 5th start of the season from a starter not named Rondon, Cortes, Cole, Stroman, Gil or Schmidt.  110 of the 115 from there top starters and 3 of the 5 were in doubleheaders.  It is lot easier to play and manage when you know who is taking ball everyday.

Ok, so has literally every guy we picked up been bad so far? At some point you have to wonder how it's possible for this much to go wrong this season. We probably have lost a year of our contending window (which may be 3-5 more years with cheap talent) due to factors outside of our control. Bad injuries, guys regressing once we get them, and bad cold streaks by hitters.

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      By Frobby · Posted

      There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.

      I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again. He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota. I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.
