What a big difference it makes to have a lead off hitter who can get on base regularly. I think that's where we miss BRob the most. Patterson has done well for a short term replacement. Lots of quickness there whoo

Only 18 more needed to match what MCab has put up...

29 GMs are kicking themselves right now...

Here you are with this again. What proof do you have that he was on the market last offseason?

Unless you mean the trade that brought him and Dontrelle "DFA by the Diamondbacks" Willis.

Wait it can't be the latter because I am sure the Marlins would not be kicking themselves.

I'm sure the Marlins would rather have MCab than what they got back. But then again they wouldn't want to pay him.

Crap. Corey out at 3rd on a grounder. I'm not watching on TV so I didn't see the play... was it a bad decison on his part to try and advance or what?

He was running on contact, but the ball didn't go through. He got caught in a rundown and then extended it to at least get the batter, Tejada, to replace him at second.

(I hope I said that right?)

Ah I see, I was wondering how GameCast had Miggy on 2nd. Thank you very much.

    • Goes right back to Ted Williams. Get a good pitch to hit and drive it.
    • There was an attempt to debunk this article in the other O'Hearn thread where it's the OP, but in it O'Hearn explains that his efforts to change launch angle and severely limit when he swings underlie the improved performance since coming to the Orioles.  
    • I'm thinking that Suarez can be that extra high leverage arm the O's need.  Someone who can take some of the closing pressure off Kimbrel.  No, Hyde, the closer doesn't have to get every save.  I hate when Hyde uses every high leverage arm in a single game then the next game you just have the B squad. 
    • Would have been nice for his campaign if he had been allowed to go 8 or even go for the shutout. 
    • He looked much more pull happy when he was up, with bigger leg lift. In the minors he seem to handle pitches away much better, taking them to left and left center.
    • I've got to think that as long as we keep winning we trade for some bullpen help.  Kimbrel is fine and it's good that he's a vet that figure stuff out in between outings, but he's 35 and can't be relied on for nearly the same workload as we leaned on Felix for.
    • Ever since the discussions of Bradish and Means going on the IL and getting a late start to their seasons, I have felt that Irvin would stick as a starter.  He is more suited to be in the rotation than he is to be a relief pitcher. And this past 4 weeks he is showing why.  He can give you 180-190 innings this season if you keep putting confidence in him.  It would be nice to have 2 decent lefties in our rotation with 1 RHP sandwiched in between them. But truth be told I don't think John Means can last more than 2 months before some type of ailment nags his body.
