Hersh Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Considering Manny has loads of fun here and the O's are going to be able to surround him with talent to win, it really is going to come down to if he wants to take the most money he can get or if he values what he has with the O's.

As long as the deal he gets from the O's isn't a joke. In other words, he's not going to agree to a substantially less contract to remain an Oriole.

Spaceman Spiff Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop. Hate to be a pessimist but the rotation still isn't that good. Bundy has been great, Gausman has been good but the rest just can't get it done, IMO. Manny is playing out of his mind. Was bummed that I missed the performance last night, was out running errands and missed it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between Tillman, Ubaldo, and Miley, 2 out of the 3 are gonna get shelled every week. And one of 'em is likely Tillman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Well, let it ride. I mean, we've made it this far and a WC spot is ripe for the taking, it might as well be us. I feel like I'm a bit of a DD apologist but the Beckham move was brilliant. He rightfully gets a bad rap for some things but he's kept us over .500 for years now. I know we all remember 1998-2011 so I'm thankful for the teams he's put on the field, warts and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was fine with Beckham cuz I didnt wanna see Hardy anymore. So kudos to DD for finding a viable alternative. But DD had no idea Beckham would be hitting at a .400 clip. Cant give him THAT much credit. lol I think the frustration with DD comes from not wanting to get too comfortable just being over .500. It's cool to want more. Being better than .500 isnt the goal.

KingGibbs Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 So who gets the retaliatory hit to the backside today? I go with 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I'm not getting sucked back in, even though I'm enjoying the winning streak. My mind is the same now as a couple of weeks ago. I want them to finish over .500 and if they make it, great, If they don't, well, that's what I was expecting. Glad the Beckham move worked out. I was done with Hardy last year. He's too old and too injured. Had a decent bat, but with age and injuries, he's just a decent glove now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinFanInMinn Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 And here we go with Ubaldo. At least he got through two innings without giving up any runs. That's an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM72 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Can't even get through 3 innings. Jimenez is useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinFanInMinn Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 2 2/3 innings. 4 runs on 6 hits with 2 more still on base. Nice line... Final line, 6 runs on 6 hits through 2 2/3 innings. Just put a pitching machine out there next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOSKINS_08 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Well with Ubaldo pitching you almost knew the streak would end. Hopefully we can shut them down the rest of the game and the offense can win it for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 A 5.13 ERA as an Oriole and he made it through the entirety of his contract. Amazing. Sucks when you cant or choose to not to eat a horrible deal, like Boston did with Sandoval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinFanInMinn Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 And we're tied again. Go offense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 ****ing ****, I totally forgot that the game was an afternoon game today. I always do this. Anyway, looks like the bats are digging us out of a hole here. Welcome to the 30 homer club, Jonathan Schoop. I have a feeling that this will be the first of quite a few 30 homer seasons for him.

Well I do love Hardy, but it's obvious that he's pretty much done. I don't think DD knew he'd hit this well, but I think DD saw a guy that was a high draft pick who might have been a late bloomer and just needed a change of scenery. DD is frustrating at times but I think he's made the best of what's been available to him. We don't have a stacked farm system to deal from....we haven't had much to look forward to in that department until recently. We don't play in the international market, I'm not sure if that's his fault or PA's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOSKINS_08 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Castro needs to start the next turn around for Ubaldo. Or start him for Tillman. Those 2 have been so bad that I'm willing to deal with Miley to get those 2 out of the rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
