Bobby Dee

 

We are family!

[Tedballgame]

Don't give up on Bobby D!!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I doubt Cora will be platooning Bobby Dee for a while.

[moonslav59]

This is fun.

 

Who cares, if it's a AAA team?

 

The O's are part of every AL team's success.

[moonslav59]

Even many of our outs were scorchers.

[moonslav59]

Let's see if Martin Perez can begin to start a discussion about the possibility of us even talking about him possibly taking a more important role in the bottom of the pen.

The Baltimore Orioles are the one team in MLB that don't know how to pitch to Bobby Dalbec, LOL. Edited August 15, 2021 by Fan_since_Boggs

Bobby Dee up to .726, now.

 

The fact that he can go from .655 to .726 in just 3 games shows how small his sample size is.

 

His career numbers are now:

.775 OPS (.300 OBP/.475 SLG)

 

.239 22 68 (21 2B+3B) in 420 PAs

 

Projected to 650 PAs:

 

.239 34 107

 

Posters wanted him demoted, myself included, recently.

 

Posters even wanted him DFA'd.

 

Rinse & repeat.

LOL.

 

Before today, however, Bobby Dee's OPS vs BAL was .723, which was actually lower than his 2021 OPS of .726.

Twins up on the Rays 7-0 after 3.

 

Yanks-White Sox tied 3-3 in the 5th.

[moonslav59]

MIN 9 TBR 0 (6th inning)

 

OAK 5 TEX 3 (7th)

 

NYY 3 CWS 3 (7th)

 

LAA 2 HOU 0 (2nd)

 

TOR 0 SEA 0 (1st)

 

[moonslav59]

 

Rays lose 12-0. Could they be showing signs of cracking? While only being 2 and 2 in their last 4 games, they did lose the two by 12 runs each.

 

Yanks just got tied by an Abreu HR with 2 outs in the 9th.

 

A's win 8-3.

 

HOU up 3-2 in the 5th.

 

TOR down 2-1 to SEA in the 2nd.

Not too hard to legit look better than all our starters, depending on the game.

 

Actually, since we are looking at a sample of 1 game this season for Sale, it's worth noting in their last starts the other four Sox starters went--

 

ERod, 5.1 innings, 2 ER's vs. the tough Rays

Eovaldi, 7 innings 1 ER vs. the tough Rays

Houck, 5 innings, 3 ER's vs. the tough Rays

Pivetta, 6 innings, 1 ER vs. the lousy Orioles

 

So Sale's 5 innings, 2 ER's today vs. the lousy Orioles is only better than Houck's outing vs. the Rays. Last night Richard in relief held the Orioles scoreless for 3 innings.

 

So right now I'm encouraged by the starters, nervous about the bullpen, delighted (for now) with the hitting, and OK with the defense and baserunning.

 

If the starters are indeed back on the beam, especially with a good start by Sale today, then just maybe Bloom was right not to denude the farm system and/or spend big for good starter.

Hats off to MVP 78 for two straight wins even though the poor Orioles are in a 10 game losing streak.

[moonslav59]

The White Sox left bases loaded with 1 out in the bottom of the 12th to lose to the Yanks by 2.

I didn’t do anything.
