I thought the same thing on the ball that got past Holliday.  It’s really a bit amazing how damaging the loss of Mateo has been to the team defense.

Have to keep your glove down, it's raining.

Wait, did Rivera flip off the left field wall after that?

Looked like he did to something/somebody.

I'll bet he wouldn't be the first

Which part sounds like a celebration?  What posts?  Because I said LOL?  Genuinely curious.

Admitting the team sucks isn’t celebrating that the team sucks. 

I hope not or we're all having a party!

Orioles choke up a lead and are down once again. Clueless MASN director, "Let's send poor Brett Hollander down to do a Barc in the Park segment."

To be honest? At least the dogs are cute.

Hey at least this team had me caring about baseball into Sept…. That’s unusual for the Os. Time to shift into hockey gear!

And then Elias traded him away.

Question, if his name was Mike Jones and he had put up those numbers would you have promoted him?

 

I don’t know why you are pursuing this, but ok.

it was the last series of a historically miserable year, it was a chance for a very proud Boston Name to have a chance to play in front of the Boston people, so there was no reason not to promote Mike. It would’ve been a very nice moment in a season of very, very few nice moments.

Regarding your other question, though, I do think that Buck was probably the main guy in making the decision based on the fact that he had a huge hand in bringing Chris Tillman back and guaranteeing him $3 million even though he couldn’t throw anymore.

But as I said, I don’t know whether it was Dan or Buck who had the final say, and that was seven years ago, and both guys have been replaced, so all that remains are two splendid players who are working for somebody else.

As a fan I still find it annoying that both players went on to be stars for other teams when they could easily have been successful for us.

I thought so. I don't have the DVR anymore so I can't play it back.

Now Kremer shuts them down. Why couldn’t he do that last inning?

He has an .825 ops vs lefties.  

Enough with these meaningless stats. I watch the games, he doesn’t hit lefties.

The owner hasn't given up on this team

[Tony-OH]

Jackson Holliday with another "solid" can of corn.

[Spy Fox]

Nice bounce back inning by Kremer. Could have used those K’s with the bases loaded.
