7 game win streak has the O's right back in it. Can we get a SP please? Maybe Miguel can be brought back. He is simply more dependable than any starting pitcher not named Bundy or Gausman. I really have no need to see Tillman or Ubaldo making another start as they give the team NO chance to win.

We NEED pitching of any formidable kind!

I'd love to hear Bucks rational for leaving Hellickson in so long.

I bet it'll have something to do with either trying to rest the bullpen or that he trusted in his stuff enough that he could've gotten those outs.

Yea its very annoying when the offense puts up 8 runs and you still lose. It must crush them.

BAL: SS J.J. Hardy will be activated from 60-Day DL on Friday September 1st, according to David Hall of the Virginian-Pilot; C Chance Sisco and 1B/OF Pedro Alvarez will have contracts purchased from minors; OF Joey Rickard will be recalled from minors on Friday September 1st.

I hope they actually play Chance. Alvarez can fill in for either Trumbo or Davis when they slump.

Shocked now pitchers are coming up. Who knows we'll probably be Mike Wright back.

The Rangers have struck a deal to add righty Miguel Gonzalez from the White Sox, as Eduardo Encina of the Baltimore Sun first reported (Twitter link). Per the report, the Orioles were also attempting to bring back the veteran starter, but weren’t willing to meet the asking price. Infielder Ti’Quan Forbes will go to Chicago in return. The Rangers have designated righty Anthony Bass to open a roster spot.

Which reminds me, I'm sort of surprised we didn't get any waiver wire deals done (that I can remember offhand) by the deadline. This is usually the type of thing Dan lives for.

"The Orioles announced that they’ve designated right-handers Tyler Wilson and Logan Verrett for assignment on Friday. That pair of DFAs will open enough room on the 40-man roster to formally select the contracts of catcher Chance Sisco, first baseman Pedro Alvarez and right-hander Richard Rodriguez — all of whom are being brought to the Majors as September call-ups. Baltimore has also recalled outfielder Joey Rickard and right-hander Jimmy Yacabonis from Triple-A Norfolk."

Not a great weekend. Lost 2 out of 4 from a last place team and then gave up a ton of runs to the yanks. If they want to make the playoffs they'll have to beat some of these good teams.

At least since the bulk of the remaining games are against the AL East and we seem to do fairly well against the division, we still will have a shot. No shame in splitting with Toronto.

The Orioles announced that they’ve promoted outfield prospect Austin Hays to the Majors and designated left-hander Jayson Aquino to clear space on the 40-man roster. Hays will be making his Major League debut the first time he enters a game for the O’s.

hays is another boom boom with speed . mullins , steward has made great strides plus with have the keys boy that is also a boom boom . mountcastle is playing well at 3 rd base and also a good hitter but took him awhile at aa to get going . I say wells starter in 18 give me someone that has control over 140 innings this year . almost a 100 innings with out giving up a walk . Santander is a hitter so we should have money to spend on contracts for manny and schoop . pitching is to high we have bundy and gausman . wells a lhp look at all the money gone after this year tilly , waldo , and smiley (can't stand his pic ) . buck start wright with a quick hook castro or shit Zach . we have some good boys pitching at aa .

I feel like JJ would be a great fielding coach. Maybe they can make him a offer after this year to be a assistant coach.

"The Orioles announced that they’ve activated shortstop J.J. Hardy from the 60-day disabled list. To clear space on the 40-man roster, the club designated left-hander Andrew Faulkner for assignment."

So we run the risk of losing a pitcher with a 2.79 era to let Hardy sit on the bench for the next month. Makes sense. :mad2:
