This is really awful. Still no one out.

We can’t give away games like this to struggling teams. We have the opportunity to pick up a game on the Yankees.

Independent League material.

Something has to be done with out pen. Right now it is a pack of pigs.

And the answer is a resounding NO.

At the latest.

I don't trust Brasier. He screams Independent League to me.

Can this bush leaguer lock down a 3 run save.

Big insurance run!

Maybe we can add Keuchel and use Eovaldi as a closer.

His ceiling is journeyman.

He will be out of the majors or be in a mop up role before the end of next season.

He faced 4 batters and got 1 out. The league may be catching up to Walden.

Walden is a nobody.

The Astros are missing their best 2 players -- Altuve and Springer and we still cannot beat them.

He might have caught the bug from JD. Good news that it is not his arm.

I thought the Red Sox should have sold high on Bradley a few years ago after he broke out of his horrendous year and a half slump. Now, he has been completely exposed as a guy who will always be a below average offensive player who will suffer through prolonged droughts. I disagree about Beni and Betts. I think that Beni could be more than adequate in CF and Betts would be excellent anywhere.

Per Jon Heyman Sources: #SFGiants are calling up Mike Yastrzemski, grandson of Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski. Mike Yastrzemski gets callup by Giants WWW.MLB.COM SAN FRANCISCO -- The Mac Williamson era appears to be over. The Giants designated Williamson for assignment for the second time this season and promoted outfielder Mike Yastrzemski from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday. Yastrzemski, the grandson of Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski, started in left field against the D-backs in The kid has been tearing up the Pacific Coast League, showing consistent power for the first time in his career. Congratulations, to the kid. He has had a long road to the majors. Grandpa must be thrilled.

Hembree can be good in short spurts, but that will not last. Marcus Walden is a nobody. I’d be happy if he could be a useful spare arm to be used in the 6th inning or in blowouts. Using him consistently in high leverage situations will not end well. The other 3 are just not high enough quality to be the top 3 BP guys. The BP lacks a dominant option.

Are we going to pummel this pig.

It wasn't until around the middle of May 2018 when Sale started hitting 99 consistently. He attributed the increase in velocity to an adjustment that he had made. Post adjustment he added 3-4 mph. I went to a game where he was hitting 100 mph starting from his first pitch. I remember wondering whether his frame could hold up throwing that hard. After the All Star game, he started having issues. I don't think he needs to throw 99-100 mph, nor do I think it would be very good for his durability.

If I was the owner of the Orioles, I would have made a huge stink with the city and the state about the incompetence of the government that put my customers in danger. You are right. That episode ruined the Orioles' business. Even when the Orioles were good, their fan base was not very dedicated, but Red Sox fans and Yankee fans would fill that place for 18-20 games each season. For several years, I tolerated the brutal traffic and went to Baltimore 1 or 2 times a year for a series. It was Fenway South. Once the riots happened, I thought it was just not worth it. I had heard horror stories of people who were in Baltimore when the riots happened. Baltimore had been a sketchy place before the riots, but the city had insulated the inner harbor area from danger. It was safe and nice for tourists and fans, but once the city officials let that safe space be breached, I wrote it off as did many many thousands of other fans. If you watch the Yankee games in Baltimore, the place is pretty empty. It had never been that way before.

The O's play Russian Roulette with all the chambers full.

Surely, you jest.
