Bet he doesn't do that again either. It's not like he's a dope.

Their P has suddenly stopped missing bats, which is what we want to see...

We might end up being able to reach Shields if we keep the score where it is.

That feels like a pretty big if right now, though.

Why is Adam Eaton on this team? Really?

If anyone can explain to me why we need a starting pitcher who can only last four innings at any given time, please do so.

Agree. I would rather have someone under 25 with potential to improve that can do that.

There's a good answer in the Orioles section....I agree 100% on it, although I hope the Eaton experience doesn't last long.

Because AM thinks his stuff is good enough to maybe do better than that. Maybe not a lot better than that, but somewhat better than that.

From what I saw today, his stuff is better than that. Looks to me like nobody taught him how to pitch. Maybe they're hoping RK can smarten him up just enough to give us 6 IP at 3 ER instead of 4 IP at 4 ER. For all his jams today, the diff between 4 runs down and a mutual shutout is that 1 measly pitch that Crawford turned into a triple. I wish he had been throwing to Zaun.

      5 losses in a row. Baltimore...we have a problem. Thread revisit...O's have no way to win the WS unless...

      Oh get real man. You said that they probably wouldn't even make the playoffs at a time when that was a nearly a statistical impossibility. You were right about nothing.

      I would think MLB would like to see offense spike, given the current state of things.  But also, I don't see why anyone wouldn't want the game played with a true strike zone. It will benefit hitters more than pitchers, but ultimately the net impact on offense would be less than you might think after the pitchers adjust and target certain parts of the zone where they are more likely to get calls (possibly the high strike, as umps tend to miss more often off the plate).

      I'd say there's zippy chance of Basallo being up here this year.  I mean, maybe for a September call up and a few games in Baltimore but that all depends on the pennant race, etc.  No chance Basallo is on the postseason roster unless something unforseen happens.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      Who did the Rangers bring up with there great pitching prospects?    The Astros won with a lot of low level international pitching guys they signed for very cheap.   The draft is such a crap shoot as is the international signing guys so you try to bring in as much talent as possible then figure out who you have.  Look at how many high draft picks never even touch the majors.  Do you think Elias thought Mayo was gonna be one of the best prospects in the game drafting him in the 4th round?   Do you think he knew Basillo was gonna turn out to be one of the best hitting prospects in the game yet other teams pretty much let him land in our lap by not going after him.  Every single team passed on Henderson, Westburg, Mayo(multiple times) so it isnt like these guys were sure things(not that anyone is).  If he knew Henderson was gonna be an MVP player, Westburg was gonna be an all star, Mayo one of the top power hitting prospects in baseball and all the other guys like rutschman, Cowser, Kjerstadt and Holliday were gonna succeed then maybe he would have looked more at pitching earlier but you don't know which players will succeed so lets blame him.  Druw Jones was the consesus top pick in the MLB draft going in and when we took Holliday everyone was kinda like what are they doing and so far it looks like we are the only one that knew what we were doing.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I think we should wait for the deadline.  We're a lock for a WC spot.  So why make a big trade unless it's for a Game 3 SP?  If it's a home game at OPACY then I want a LH SP.   The names that could be available are Snell, Montgomery, Quintana, Tyler Anderson, Reid Detmers, Manaea, and Kikuchi.   I know we've lost 5 in a row, but it's not that bad.  Look who we've lost to.
