  1. Don’t have a good feeling with Velazquez here.
  2. Yes. Overall, 10-7 (for a club well under .500), ERA 3.48 and a WHIP under 1.000. He's a good pitcher.
  3. The Sox or the Twins?
  4. Saw something this morning about Phillips being hit in the hand with a pitch: https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/red-soxs-brandon-phillips-potential-hand-injury-at-triple-a/
  5. Right. That hit was absolutely pounded.
  6. He’s only had 3 blown saves all year; that was the 2nd with Sale as the starter (the other was against the Royals in April). The previous one was against the Yankees in May (Porcello was the starter) and that was also a 4 out attempt.
  7. Especially since he’s something like 6-10 against Rodney.
  8. Pretty sure he does. I think the no RBI provision onlly kicks in on a force DP or a reverse force DP (think 1st baseman steps on the bag and then throws to second with the 2nd out being on a tag).
  9. I doubt it, given the normal Oriole crowds and figuring a lot of no-shows due to weather, they probably paid more to the people manning the concessions than they made. I prefer to think it was Showalter being an ass.
  10. I agree, given the timing and forecast, it never should have begun.
  11. What else would you expect from Showalter? Guarantee that had it been any other opponent, the game never would have started.
  12. Pure chance. I was looking something up about Yaz on YouTube awhile back and came across this video:
  13. Little known fact: The last ball Yaz hit over then fence did not count when the game was rained out before it became official.
  14. You'd have to ask the Orioles that question.
  15. I'd rather they get wiped out than risk somebody getting hurt on that wet turf. And there was virtually no way Price was going to come back out, which would have meant 8 innings of pen with Johnson going tomorrow (which should mean 3-4 more innings for the pen.
  16. That's what Sutcliffe said on ESPN. Obviously they took a look at the radar and the field and decided it would not be possible to resume. And once the line-up cards are exchanged, the game is in the hands of the umpires.
  17. Pitch counts make so much more sense than innings. You can throw 40 pitches in 1 inning or that could be 3-4 innings work.
  18. The ESPN broadcast said they would wait until 1030 and take a look at the situation; if it looks like there’s a chance of starting up again, even if it’s at midnight, they will.
  19. Eovaldi also has that Yankee stench that seemingly so difficult to wash off.
  20. Then I would be a little concerned about the 11 homers Eovaldi has allowed in only 57 innings this year. Seriously folks, he’s here to fill the 4-5 slot in the rotation. A .500 record is fine from that spot. It also tells me they are not counting on Wright bring back any time soon (if at all) and that ERod is a lot more hurt than they are letting on.
  21. I didn’t see much of the first 4 innings, so I need to ask. Every pitcher hangs a breaking ball or two (sometimes they get away with it) but was the curve decent overall? You can’t dismiss the homers but was there something positive to take, even if it was just a couple of innings? Were the balls put in play ropes or just routine outs?
  22. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains.
  23. In this slop I'm not casting aspersions on any body trying to get a grip on any hit ball.
