[DTC]

And the Orioles have earned their first sweep of the year

Woody needs to be gone. Why not bat Garcia for Miller. Instead he has Garcia on deck to hit for Leody, who had 2 hits in the game.

Woody must have liked the matchup up better (R vs L) but Garcia is known to be clutch. I would have gone with Garcia just because of that.

So, you do not believe in signing top bullpen pieces in the offseason either?

Our roster has some fodder that we can rid ourselves of if the right free agent is signed.

I just think they aren’t ready to release as much will be needed. Might reconsider if we can move some players Definitely need a closer s Ms a relief pitcher presence late innings

 

[Kelleyman]

Listened to moist gsme. The question WS about pinch hitting and the thought was the politics around pinch hitting a rookie for a vet is not normally done.
Culbertson from what I know had a good AB but if is the mentality that is disturbing

And yes let’s let Leody take all his ABs

 

[saddles]

Well the bullpen hasn't been the issue until recently

My comments have been mainly about a closer and maybe a top notch set up man. Our closer had a good 6 week stretch between late April and the end of May. That part of the pen needs to be fixed.

 

[saddles]

Alexy pitched 3 innings in relief without giving up a single walk. Now, that's a miracle.

Well, if they trade for a closer they would be moving several guys in trade. Either way, they would be getting rid of players. I would rather get rid of the guys who could be released and not missed much than the ones a trade would cost us.

It won't get any easier against the Twins. After that we get 6 of 10 against the A's, so we could have a slightly winning record over the next 13 games. Maybe go 7-6.

I don't trust this team to beat anyone right now

I don't trust this team to beat anyone right now

Well the manager sucks and half billion dollar's worth of infielders are batting .230......just seems someone else, could get more out of this bunch. Hopefully when we expect to contend this leadership isn't around

 

[saddles]

I wonder of the front office is close to changing their mind about needing to show support for this team at the trade deadline?

2022 MLB Draft - Top 600 Prospects — Prospects Live

This Top 500 really reinforces a few things we’ve always believed: Druw Jones is a cut above the rest. College hitters are good. Really good. And deep. The high school pitching in this class has the potential to be one of the stronger groups in recent memory. Termarr Johnson, Druw Jones, Jackson Hol

Coming in at #88 is Ivan Melendez.

Assuming we've ever known where they were to begin with

the last few games Garcia's head seemed to be somewhere else to me.

Melendez at the MLB level had a few homers recently

 

[Kelleyman]

I am totally uninterested in moderate upgrades at the break. Just gives manage excuse not to play guys needing experience the rest of the way.
Still floored he benched Leody a few games about a week ago

Everyone gets an off day to recoup. Interested who starts this Friday.

 

[Kelleyman]

Looks like Otto did well after shaky start
Think they might have needed Allard but ended up not. This is one good sign for current pitching staff. Maybe Otto is back to full strength

 

[DT LUNA]

If Woody is here next year, then you will know how serious the FO is taking contention.
