Orioles dodged a bullet. Even FIP will be over 4 after this one.

Cease is down 1.2 on fastball. Well everyone but Kelly Santos Lopez.

Only Cease and Robert injuries could add to the misery...

the physicist?

Hahn better hope some of the legit offers don't leak out... Will be 1/2 game behind the Rockies for 3rd pick after tonight if the score holds up.

LoL at minor league thread having more action.

21:$11M, 22:$13M, 23:$14M, 24:$15M club option ($15M buyout) 2024 option is guaranteed with trade if club declines 2024 option, $15M buyout is paid in 10 annual installments of $1.5M, 2024-33 "You can't spend $1 in FA if you've already spent $2 on Benintendi and Hendriks"

Subtract June is just as logical.

Let's talk one year from now when they have a Bottom 2-3 MLB offense. KW at least always believed the offenses should be high scoring if they were going to be a third or fourth place team. We're going to be bad and boring.

Much higher risk with a pitcher with a previous TJ and 1.2 mph velocity drop this year. Obviously he has been the most durable Sox starter ... along with Giolito. Until he isn't.

They better get at least one above average starting catcher out of those two acquisitions...

Except his July stats were trending upwards again. And more walks...better defense. It was his June that stunk.

Remember he was traded not so long ago for 5-6 players....

They’re getting closer and closer to the Major League plot…minus the Douglas DC 9 getting buffeted by a lightning storm. Billy Hamilton can play Willie Mayes Hayes.

Remember when Vaughn took Chapman out to CF in NY? He did that once or twice?

At least Cronin is consistent…one ER per outing.

And Steele’s now leading the majors in ERA after an appealed scoring decision. Otoh, Stroman 30 ER’s in his last 7 starts…in 30 IP. He’ll be able to join White Sox now the TLR boycott is no longer in effect.

Mario or Hector?

The money will be spent…somewhere.

The Rangers are still zombies after having lost their 11th in a row to SD over the weekend lol…

Scholtens

The same time of the year Hahn kicks Grandal to the curb…will probably keep him on the roster to avoid embarrassment for both Yasmani and himself.

Tomorrow’s starters are Cease and Dunning… Perfect.
