  1. Also, greatly improves SOX run differential and pads team stats.
  2. Beauty and the Beast in baseball talk would be Camden Yards and the O's.
  3. From playing the O's and then facing the Yankems; from facing the worst pitching in MLB and then facing some of the best pitching. This will have to require a big adjustment by the SOX. Like going from batting practice to real game pitching.
  4. Just checked; Mountcastle is recovering from concussion symptoms he received on 8/6 due to a hard tag to the head.
  5. IMHO, both Mancini and Mullins are undervalued. Perhaps Means, also.
  6. Promising performance by a guy who hasn't seriously pitched in two years.
  7. Btw, Mountcastle must be injured or Covid watch. Anyone know why he hasn't been in the O's line-up these two games?
  8. They do have a promising player named Mountcastle. The 4th 'M.'
  9. If the season ended after today's game, Devers numbers would still be pretty decent.
  10. Billy Bob Thornton would be the perfect manager for the O's. He would just sit in the corner of the dugout with his whiskey in a Coke can and stay drunk.
  11. I was wrong about August 2019, which I've just posted.
  12. My bad; youtube screwed me up. The last time Sale threw over 100 mph was in June of 2019. 100.3 to be exact.
  13. As late as August, 2019 Sale was throwing many pitches at 100mph. In fact, Eck was in the booth when he threw 5 of them against the Yankems.
  14. Let's say the catcher calls for a curve and it hangs over the plate; is it the catcher's bad call? Can we please sometimes give blame to the pitcher? Also, when a pitcher misses the target by a foot, whose fault is that?
  15. The O's are 7th in fielding in MLB based on fielding percentage. This just magnifies how bad the O's pitching is. Btw, the SOX are 27th.
  16. I believe it was the pop band CAKE.
  17. Just remember, what happens playing the O's has little to do when playing an actual major league team.
  18. If Richards can finish the 9th, he'll earn his 1st save. He'll have pitched the final 3 innings which qualifies as a save.
  19. He and Devers are saving their bashes for the Yankems.
  20. I'm pretty sure the glove won't fit.
  21. Off the top of my head I can list 3 embarrassments to MLB: 1)Tampa's home field 2)The Orioles' franchise 3)The umpiring
  22. Prime piece of defense there by Devers.
