  1. John Smoltz? Sorry, couldn't help myself.
  2. Still a lot better odds than winning the Mega Millions lottery.
  3. POM has pitched 343 innings in his last two full seasons. Prior to that he never pitched over 102 in a season. If POM fails in his next start, I believe DD should put him on the DL for the remainder of the season. Hopefully, he will be back at full strength in 2019.
  4. Eovaldi is only 28. This may turn out to be a steal for the SOX.
  5. I agree. Crawford was a perfect example in reverse. He excelled in small market Tampa and failed miserably here. It actually happens more often than one might think.
  6. For those posters who say they hate Kelly, I'd recommend saving that hate for people who really have a negative effect on your real life.
  7. The O's have to drop the color orange from their uniforms. No color in the prism has taken more abuse in recent years.
  8. An 88 mph fastball? and hanging curves are the things that nightmares are made of.
  9. No one ever said the game was fair. Even the foul poles are misnamed.
  10. Never count the O's out. They've perfected losing.
  11. That's one important thing I've noticed about JBJ; he always hustles, always.
  12. O's still have a shot at losing this one.
  13. Kelly has a rubber arm, unfortunately he also has a rubber head. IOW, it's not a physical problem with Kelly, it's a head issue. Not sure how a pitching coach w/o a degree in psychiatry can deal with that.
  14. He has a nice level swing and keeps his bat in the hitting zone longer than most hitters.
  15. Just looked this up. After this season the O's still have 4 years left on their contract with Davis with 92 million remaining. I doubt the Dodgers will bail them out.
  16. Also, on the positive side, I feel that SWI has again proven he is a viable back-up for Leon.
  17. The only good news about this game, and I had to think long and hard, is that Kimbrel will get the night off. That is all.
  18. Wasn't it just a few years ago that the Yankems had one of the fewest prospects in baseball?
  19. And Tanaka is pitching an 8 inning shutout. I guess thats more than enough s*** news.
  20. He was worth a lot in June. Now? Not so much.
  21. Cora continues to be one batter too late. He seems to have made it an art form.
  22. Having POM and Kelly in the same game is not a winning formula. Btw, does that qualify as understatement of the year?
