So … any chance Dusty sees a 7-2 lead, flexes his plan and DOESN’T bring in the closer he said was tired two days ago?
Watching with my son. “The only pitch Maldonado didn’t swing at was 83 down the middle.” “Yes, boy. That’s the Maldy special.”
It’s what I keep getting told by the “pitchers know better” and “sample size is too small” and “but the team was good last year” crowd. So, I’m...
If Chas doesn’t lead off the 9th, Dusty is even worse that I thought.
But in theory Maldonado was better with Brown and France, because in theory Dias was supposed to perform worse over time and in theory Maldonado...
Good thing Maldonado is there to help keep him calm and composed. If Diaz were catching this could have gone poorly.
Well, the last time he pitched the Astros were winning 7-3. So, I’m not sure the offense hitting will stop Dusty from running him into the ground.
“More wins this year” is absolutely correct and not the same as “the 14 game swing is rooted in Maldy” … an argument no one made, which is the...
here - I did it myself. Brown: 3.72 for Diaz, 4.98 for Maldy in equal innings France: basically equal in equal innings
I fully agree. Diaz coaxed a fantastic season from Brown. Go check the splits. While you are there, look at Diaz’s expected stats vs lefties and...
Stop setting up a strawman. No one is saying it is the only or even primary cause of the swing. That would be injuries. Last year is absolutely...
He literally just reported facts. If that deserves a suspension, it says a lot more about the Orioles front office than about him.
I am well aware of how many games they won last year, and that JV win the Cy Young. I’m not sure how that is relevant. The argument here is that...
Its a mystery they have never expounded upon, has never been directly endorsed by the smart people in the front office, doesn’t show up on the...
Pinch run for Maldy. I know it’s early, but it gets him out of there.
What a season this would be if France, McCormick and Diaz were “seasoned vets” when the season started. Or if they were just rewarded for their...
When you are the only one in color, that’s a good sign… [MEDIA]
I’m sure it is coincidence that the lineup that we all said was good is scoring runs - again. It never ceases to amaze me that whether the...

Clearly the Astros, who have won two World Series, and Dusty, who is paid millions and knows baseball, see something we morons can’t pick up on...
