Eric is killing it with these trades.

With so many unvaxed ppl keeling over it will be easier to push climat policy since they will be running low on stupid voters.

I need to check it out.

Great. Some of the millions of green jobs are about to start.

Ywah I thought they would be around 90 wins. I should have ignored 2020.

Then implement a cap and a floor on salaries. If not keep your yap shut.

I was thinking it had always been easy for him and he never had to work hard. But being cut and everyone talking about how his career is probably over knocked some sense into him and he is willing to work hard.

I figure May or June.

I did acknowledge that. I didnt even think he had that in him. In dc he couldnt even be responsible to not be stupid.

I have not fully changed my mind. He just made a showing I didnt expect was there. He has to keep running with it.

After last yr I thought he was a washout. He was playing mostly the 3s last night but he looked very competent. I was expecting Pitt not to have an heir to Ben. So far after last night I am having 2nd thoughts.

From wait florio. Orioles #1 prospect Adley Rutschmann (MLB'S #1 prospect for that matter) has played a combination of carcher, first base, and DH this season. Catcher is the most important position on a baseball team because the catcher not only hits but is responsible for managing the entire pitching staff on the field. Here is how the teams Rutschmann has played for this year (Bowie and Norfolk) have had their pitching perform in games Rutschmann catches vs games he has not caught.

gives up 4.2 runs per game Starters pitched 222.2 innings (4.1 innings per start average) Starters gave up 94 earned runs (3.80 ERA) Starters gave up 185 hits (7.4 hits per 9 innings pitched) Starters gave up 86 walks (3.5 walks per 9 innings pitched) Starters have a 1.22 WHIP Starters have 294 strikeouts (11.9 strikeouts per 9 innings pitched) Games Rutschmann does not catch 16-14 (.533 winning %) Team gives up 5.1 runs per game Starters pitched 131.2 Innings (4.2 innings per start average) Starters gave up 46 earned runs (3.14 ERA) Starters gave up 108 hits (7.4 hits per 9 innings pitched) Starters gave up 52 walks (3.6 walks per 9 innings pitched) Starters have 1.22 WHIP Starters have 154 strikeouts (10.5 strikeouts per 9 innings pitched) Starters have pretty similar stats in hits, walks, and WHIP in games Rutschmann starts vs games he does not. Starters strike out an extra batter and a half in games Rutschmann starts though. Couple that with the team giving up just about a whole run more in games he does not start at catcher (despite Starters ERA being slightly lower in games he does not start) and factor in that they have a much better winning % when he does catch compared to when he does not and it shows that Rutschmann has an ability to manage the whole staff well (including bullpen arms which is super important in minor leagues with every pitcher on extreme pitch counts) and the strikeout rates show he can get pitchers calls they need on close pitches with his pitch framing to bring in the strikeouts.

Better to see and know than to just have life tell you where you stand

Then dont write it up as an unforeseen bad move.

No they didnt. After 2012 he had his best yr. We had seen he was streaky to that point and 2012 was the aberration. Also that yr Wiet had not started breaking down. That was the yr to put but on the market and maximize value. I said just that here at the time. Also the O's bid against themselves to keep Davis. I am so glad Elias is running things now bc he seems to have a much firmer grasp on what talent is worth.

Agreed on that. Bring them up in May for the extra yr.

Then turn off the tv. This is what it will be.

I think the locking up period starts in 2 yrs. I think Means ( wish he had been traded before the doctoring the ball stuff came up), Trey, and Means all go to contenders this yr.

I think Mullins willbe on the trade block soon. Not sure an investment now is a good idea.

Be there by 530.

Every yr there is a pitcher that gets gets no ryn support and they take losses. Moose was that guy for a long time.

I still think close to 78 wins. I do think that CY should be tweaked to no be so HR friendly. I would rather see the team built for small ball.

Just dh mountcastle already. When mancini needs a day off at 1st mountcastle can fill in.
