So how we feeling guys? Like this was inexorable? A year too late? We'll have to travel through bitter waters before we reach the sweet, for sure. The worst part will be when we seem to make a couple of strides, only to fall back again. Who knows if that'll be in two years... or three. I...
This was the kind of acquisition I'd been expecting. Minor league guy with some major league experience. I had no illusions about us acquiring a guy who was gonna bump either Miley or UJ out of the starting rotation, unless it was some unforeseen big trade.
I pencil it in as a Despaigne-type...
Haven't kept up with what the Indians are doing regarding their 1b situation. Are they pitting Napoli and Encarnacion against each other, with the hopes that Trumbo is still 'out there' as another bargaining chip?
The Rockies... if they still have interest in him, who are they moving to make...
Probably the lone Orioles representative here. Anyways... we've got Chris Sale and Mat Latos on the dock next. While the White Sox are a nice story, I'd love a series win, if not an outright sweep.
And Latos is an interesting player to follow. During the offseason I wanted the O's to take a...
^That's awesome. Had a feeling before the season started that Trumbo would have a positive effect on this team.
Score 1 for DD for getting one over on Mariner's GM DiPoto, who traded the guy twice. (Once as Seattle's GM and once before as the Angel's GM)
That's a good question. McFarland has been capable. Is Worley on the hot seat? I can't see optioning Givens. Wilson is showing the promise we've all hoped for.
Really, there's no obvious candidate to send down. And Buck has said he's rolling the dice having a thinner bench than usual...
Given recent comments by Zach about former pitching coach Rick Adair, I couldn't help but pass along a couple of pieces from a phone conversation Roch Kubatko relayed last October from Adair concerning Arrieta:
“Sometimes, a different voice helps,” he said. “Jake had been in the organization...
So what do you guys think?
Sunday Nolan made a gaffe but he had his hits. Is it to be expected? Or even tolerated? If the O's stand-pat at the tradeline (which feels like will be the case) can you see giving Nolan any extended time in the batting order, regardless of whether the starting...
Tough to say.. Caleb's been great for our pitching corps. And Steve did the magnanimous thing in being DFA'd and electing to come right back to the O's. They're both pretty awesome in my book. I'll say Caleb. A lot of things could've gone south when Wieters went down, but the pitchers...

Having seen Hammel in the O's rotation personally, he might be overlooked by peeps because of Samardzija, but Jason can be a workhorse and, at times, pretty solid. This is huge for the A's and pisses me right the fuck off, lol.
