    The O's should celebrate. They are playing good ball. We continue to embarrass ourselves. Our starters flat out suck.

    When a business turns bad like this, there can be no sacred cows. The only part of the organization that has continued to do a good job is the marketing department.

    In the meant time, I am thinking that my rooting efforts should be shifted to the Yankees losing the division lead possibly causing them to miss the playoffs. IMO, there is more chance that this happens than the Red Sox making the playoffs.

    The FO needs to start searching for his replacement ASAP so the guy can hit the ground running.
  6. a700hitter
    No, he needs to help anchor a new staff.

    The signs were there in Spring Training as I exlained. He would lose focua and become unglued. The manager asked him if he wanted to continue as a starter, because he saw the signs. He was throwing Bard a lifeline, but the kid was too stupid to realize it. Bobby V was the last manager to name his starting rotation, and that had to center around his concerns over Bard, because Doubront had earned the spot with more than a week to go. He was walking 6 per 9 innings with a 6.57 ERA. The signs were there. I was witness to one of his meltdowns. Four cherry picked starts during the regular season mean nothing. They should have pulled the plug on the experiment the minute that Bailey went down. That was the excuse they needed to sell it to Bard, the press and the fans.

    He was a good late inning guy IMO. If he was back to that form, he'd be with the big club. He has been floundering in AAA. His ERA is 7.16 in 27.2 inn at Pawtucket and just tonight he walked 4 guys in 1/3 of an inning. He's most probably ruined.

    ^ This is really some pointless research. He imploded. They gave him sufficient chances to show progress. For every baby step he took forward, he took two giant steps backward. His career is in tatters. The guy is praying to get back to the majors as any sort of reliever. He'll never ask for the chance to start ever again.

    He's not Daniel Nava 2.0, because he can run and play stellar defense at several positions. Nava can do none of those things. Ciriaco actually has some major league tools. Shortstops don't have to hit as much as Outfielders, but he hits enough to play SS for us right now. The guy is a pretty good fielder. Iglesias isn't the most patient hitter either. He'll have his chance to win the job in March. Regardless, Ciriaco is a nice versatile utility type player.

    Yeah, he looked so great during Spring training that half way through Spring Training his manager had to ask him if he was up to being a starter, and Bard himself admitted to having trouble with the focus needed to be a starter. It was pretty obvious that he would lose focus in his new role and he had trouble finding the plate and regaining his composure. Yeah, let's drop the terrible starts and he was okay. Are you serious? I go to Spring Training. I was at one of the games where his wheels came off and he threw something like 10 balls in a row and walked something like 4 guys in the inning. He was not progressing during Spring Training. He had a 6.57 ERA in Spring Training and he walked 16 batters in 24 innings, and in his first outing he pitched 2 clean innings. That's almost 6 per 9 innings. That's a really bad sign.

    The good news tonight is that Melancon finally turned the corner.

    They deliberately worked around AGon and th 2 righties were helpless as babies agains that submarine pitcher.
  17. a700hitter
    He had a good outing if you diregard the two Home Runs and all those runs in the 5th inning on all those bitch hits and bad umpiring. Looking at it that way, he had a scoreless outing.
  18. a700hitter
    It's a Beckett start. We need to score 10 to have a chance. Melancon is joke. He is keeping him on the roster in some lame ass attempt to try to justify the trae to get him. Sometimes you just have to cut your losses.
  19. a700hitter
    The Red Sox were probably the last thing that was keeping him alive, and he couldn't take this s***. Maybe our whining f***s will start pointing fingers at each other over who killed Pesky.
  20. a700hitter
    SFF, Ciriaco has had no hype. When Spring Training started, no one knew his name. He completely outplayed Iglesias in Spring Training and he continued to to so for 3 months in AAA. He earned the promotion. Iglesias is the guy who has been hyped. This isn't the first time this season that someone has posted about how he was finally starting to hit. We're waiting.
  21. a700hitter
    2 HRs surrendered by Beckett. Probably 1 more to go.

    I am just glad that we are not playing the Mets this weekend.

    Bard's game was falling apart in Spring Training.
  25. a700hitter
    Guy is slow. That foul ball was catchable.
