So Pomeranz is pretty washed up, right?

No, for pitching poorly, he is in his prime.

Orange and Black vs Orange and Black

Wonder who wins.

Halloween has come five months early.

Lose 2 of 3 to the worst team in the NL. Check

Losing to the worst team in the AL, after posting a 5-0 lead. Check

No one has answered my question above, what difference does it make?

 

[msgkings322]

At least Yaz is getting hot.

Exactly. Find some youngsters, wins and losses do not matter.

SP gives up twice as many runs as outs recorded.

It doesn’t get more SF

In a really, really, really Sarcastic Mood.... What team even expects to have anymore than a 50-50 chance of winning a game where that team scores 5 runs in the top of first inning.

“Fan” is not short for “level-headed person who follows the team logically”

It makes a difference in the 2020 draft!

Then pitch Pomeranz every 4th game!

"Sir, I have some good news and some bad news!"
"Give me the bad news first."
"Our team is already down 5-0 in the 1st inning."
"Yikes, our team looks bad this year too. What could be the good news?"
"They are playing the Giants tonight, sir."
"That is good! By the sound of the score, our team hasn't batted yet."

Then pitch Pomeranz every 4th game!

They are trying to save him for the stretch run.

I wonder which defensive alignment is better?
LF - Austin, 1b - Belt, 3b - Sandoval; or
LF - Belt, 1b - Sandoval, 3b - Longoria

Offensively, I definitely prefer the former but which is the better for defensive purposes?

 

[LHG]

Hard fought game but the Orioles came up short. We now sit a mere 4.5 games back for that 1st pick in 2020. Its going to be a wild "pennant" race this summer.

Worst run differential in baseball. (updated 5/31)

Baltimore -108

Detroit -90

Giants -89

Miami -86

We're moving up/down!

 

[Stokes1931]

DFA Pomeranz yesterday. He's pitched 39 innings in 10 starts (3.9/start) with an ERA of 8.08. He's given up 11 homers in 39 innings. That is HORRIBLE.

 

[calsnowskier]

When was the last time 2 descendants of HOFers played on the same team in the same game?

I feel like Belt is actually pretty solid in LF
