  1. He is probably pressing by now, because he has probably never been through a slump like this. If he doesn't break out of this slump soon, he will not have to worry about cutting his hair because it will start falling out.
  2. With the tying run at the plate in the 8th inning, it was the highest percentage move to bring in the hammer. Kelly is much more prone to give up a home run ball.
  3. Last spring you called it right when he hurt his knee at the beginning of spring training. You feared that it would be a lost season for him, and it was just that. A knee problem for a pitcher is significant. A pitcher needs healthy pins, especially a starting pitcher.
  4. Good to see Price back pitching like an ace.
  5. It is time for him to get some hits.
  6. Sir, that record has Enigma written all over it.
  7. Good point. It seems that the Oriole hitters are enjoying the warmer weather, and our fellas think it is still April.
  8. Betts didn't leave much room for improvement. What did you expect 35 HRs and 130 RBI and 30 SB each year?
  9. Well, if he wasn't built up as the next Yaz or Freddie Lynn people wouldn't be so disappointed.
  10. The kid went down like a sack of s*** in the bullpen.
  11. Remdawg:: What is becoming obvious is the absence of David Ortiz.
  12. I have just been playing devil's advocate. The same people who want to deem in game managing as insignificant are really struggling to make a case to keep field managers. I would like to point out that instilling and reinforcing fundamentals is an on-field in-game function. Anyone who has coached at any level knows that. It is a part and parcel of in-game management.
  13. I am not saying that we should seek another Kimbrel. I am just saying that he is a very rare performer. Even if you wanted to blow the budget, I am not sure that a Kimbrel would be available in 2019. He is that good.
  14. While Kimbrel may not be dominant Kimbrel in 2018, I don't think he can easily be replaced. This guy's career has been off the charts excellent.
  15. But my Gawd, the impending cliff!! Things could come crashing down in 2021. I don't think I can live through having a last place team. Oh.... wait ...I have lived through 3 of them in 4 years under the stewardship of Benny the Boob. I heard that he is the best Coffee Boy/Gopher the Blue jays have had. The coffee is always hot.
  16. Another bat is needed. Take heed DD. .
  17. After 2018, he may not be as dominant.
  18. Kendrick gave up 7 ER for Pawtucket tonight. He will contribute nothing to the big club.
  19. Excellent outing by Pomeranz and Kimbrel dominated once again. I wonder what Espinoza and Margot did today? LOL!
  20. We go against the O's tomorrow and Machado has been 0-18 and struck out 6 times in the last 2 nights. Hopefully, he stays cold. When he breaks out, he will break out in a big way.
  21. Japanese pitchers seem to follow a pattern of falling off a cliff after being dominant for a 2 or 3 years. Maybe it takes batters in the US longer to adjust to them and then they have a hard time of making counter adjustments after being dominant for an extended period. I don't know. There has not been any discussion or rumors of arm trouble with Tanaka in NY. None that I have heard or read.
