  1. With that being said, maybe both will start next season. I just feel that Whitlock has too much good stuff to be a reliever.
  2. Regarding the Houck-Whitlock discussion of which one should start next year and which one should relieve, I would go with Whitlock as the starter because he has command of more pitches than Houck. And one of Whitlock's pitches is an excellent change-up.
  3. MLB's league office is afraid of the umpires' union. Those f'ing chUMPS will go on strike at the drop of a hat. Btw, the league office should do something about the O's franchise; the O's have been terrible for a long time w/o any attempt at improvement.
  4. The Yankems didn't let him go w/o a reason. His history has been that he turns into a pumpkin later into the season.
  5. Wouldn't it be great to have a job where you can f*** up on a regular basis and not get fired? Welcome to the world of MLB umpires. Even clowns in a circus have to answer to someone.
  6. Unexpectedly, the SOX aren't exactly rakin' Akin. JD=3 BO's=1
  7. O's pitching is actually elite; they just caught the SOX when the SOX offense is hot.
  8. Akin' for a breakin'.
  9. I doubt Cora will be platooning Bobby Dee for a while.
  10. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly in baseball talk would be The SOX, teams under .500, and the O's.
  11. Beauty and the Beast in baseball talk would be the Rays and Tropicana Mausoleum.
  12. Also, greatly improves SOX run differential and pads team stats.
  13. Beauty and the Beast in baseball talk would be Camden Yards and the O's.
  14. 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.
  15. Just checked; Mountcastle is recovering from concussion symptoms he received on 8/6 due to a hard tag to the head.
  16. IMHO, both Mancini and Mullins are undervalued. Perhaps Means, also.
  17. Promising performance by a guy who hasn't seriously pitched in two years.
  18. Btw, Mountcastle must be injured or Covid watch. Anyone know why he hasn't been in the O's line-up these two games?
  19. They do have a promising player named Mountcastle. The 4th 'M.'
  20. If the season ended after today's game, Devers numbers would still be pretty decent.
  21. 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.
  22. I was wrong about August 2019, which I've just posted.
  23. My bad; youtube screwed me up. The last time Sale threw over 100 mph was in June of 2019. 100.3 to be exact.
