July 31, 20223 yr Glad this series is over, just awful on both sides. But winning is better than the alternative.
July 31, 20223 yr Jordan Lyles is the scheduled starter for the O's on Tuesday. Edited July 31, 20223 yr by Dr Fear

August 1, 20223 yr After listening to some of the buzz yesterday, Seager sure went from possible leg amputation to being in the lineup in a hurry.
August 1, 20223 yr Since @VirginiaLonghorn will need someone to talk to for the next 3 days. Quote Baltimore Orioles lineup: 1. Cedric Mullins (L) CF 2. Adley Rutschman (S) C 3. Anthony Santander (S) DH 4. Ryan Mountcastle (R) 1B 5. Rougned Odor (L) 2B 6. Ramon Urias (R) 3B 7. Terrin Vavra (L) LF 8. Ryan McKenna (R) RF 9. Jorge Mateo (R) SS
August 1, 20223 yr Planning on catching a game when they’re in Htown next week. Kid wants to make sure Perez is on the bump.
August 1, 20223 yr ^ Good thing is we really can’t have a rainout between now & then, so he should open on the 9th.

August 2, 20223 yr I don't even care what the Rangers got to know it was a good trade. But... Bats: L / Throws: L Age: 22 Rule 5 Eligible: After 2022 Season Acquisition Method: Draft Scouting Report Antoine Kelly was a 2nd round selection (65th overall) in 2019 and signed with the Brewers for a just over $1 million. During the 2020 season he generated a lot of buzz as one of the breakout performers at the Brewers alternate training site, but in November of 2020 he had surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome. The recovery process for TOS is widely considered daunting (both physically and mentally), but Kelly has shown great strides since returning to the mound over the past calendar year. Kelly has a plus fastball that sits 94-96, but also touches 98 with some regularity. He has had bouts with control issues, but the consensus seems to be that he’s been sharper in 2022 despite a walk rate that’s still a bit high. Kelly also features a plus slider that was first refined in the aforementioned alternate training site, but was not seen publicly until his return from surgery. The slider has significant sweeping action and could project to be a plus-plus pitch as it develops further. He also has a changeup that’s a pretty clear third pitch at this point, but could become at least an average pitch with further refinement. Although he has continued to develop as a starter for the time being, it’s not difficult to envision Kelly’s repertoire excelling out of the bullpen. Kelly would need to be placed on the 40-man roster this offseason in order to be protected from the Rule 5 draft in December. This complicating factor could increase his likelihood to move to the bullpen, or even make him more expendable via trade in the eyes of the Brewers' brass. Kelly’s future role remains a bit of a wild card. With further tightening of his command and control he could be a future MLB starter, but questions about whether he can handle a starters workload over a full season need to be answered before that becomes a realistic expectation. Some signs point to a future in the bullpen being more likely, but he has the stuff to perform as a true high leverage reliever.

August 2, 20223 yr Nothing against Bush personally, I wish him well. His professional future prospects are probably automatically better as a result of the trade.
August 2, 20223 yr Guess they needed to keep Moore around to open games for Hearn lol. Watching the Mets on MLB Network and broadcast was saying how they wished they had added a left handed bullpen arm. I don't get it.
August 3, 20223 yr Real sad thing is our pen & offense will still suck too even if they did somehow miraculously fix the rotation.
