[O's84]

I just realized that Baumann has been on 5 different teams this year.

Yes Rutchman and O’Hearn are coming up.

For all the hyper-analytics haters in the group, please understand that no one who is a slave to analytics would ever have had Suarez face Carpenter three times. 

So…good news!

[LGOrioles]

Carpenter has a 175 wRC+ against RHP's and an 18 wRC+ against LHP's. But yeah let's bring in Akin 2 batters later.

Why do we measure spin rate in revolutions per minute when the pitch is in the air less than a second?  Why don't we give the distance from home plate to first base in miles?

Profound question.

We can't put him in the WC series rotation. Have him available for the pen and then we can start him in the ALDS if we make it. 

Hopefully GrayRod will be ready to start in the ALDS in that event.  

If you need a fourth starter before GrayRod is ready, maybe piggyback Suarez and Povich?  Give them each one time through the order and tell them to focus on their best 2 pitches.

Kremer got rocked in the playoffs last time. Insanity is doing the same thing twice and expecting a different result.

Everybody got rocked last year. Dean's been pitching well recently. Nothing insane about it.

[Billy F-Face3]

Yay! Adley got a hit! A double!!

[Roy Firestone]

Move the runner over.

Do you have more faith in Kremer or Suarez at this point?

 

If Rodriguez gets a pre-playoffs tune-up then we still need a 4th guy.

[TopGunnar]

Softest double of the year. We’ll take it tho Ad

[Yossarian]

3B way off the line for a right-handed batter, want he?
