Let's beat up on this dysfunctional group.

Grayson Rodriguez vs Yu Darvish

Grayson seems to be drawing every team's ace.  The Orioles are seeing some good pitchers.

Yu is as globby as they come this year. Light him up. He can definitely be had.

You know who isnt. Bradish. A legit #2 at this point. Can be a#1 if he can back up what hes done this year going forward. Prob good we didnt trade him.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Hard to believe Darvish has been in the bigs for over a decade at this point. 

[jamesdean]

Darvish will get his strikeouts and tonight probably won't be any exception but with a 4.19 ERA, he can be hit.  Maybe go yard a few times, get an early lead and some breathing room for Grayson.  The kid just can't seem to get a game where anything's easy.

Yeah, I just saw that there are only 11 pitchers in baseball this year who've pitched 120+ innings win an ERA under 3.20, and Bradish is one of them (121.2 innings, 3.18 ERA).

Yea, I just checked.  He is 36.  Time goes by fast.

[Nigel Tufnel]

My in-depth analysis is that Grayson is better than Joe Saunders, so the O's will win.

Three Orioles remain from Manny Machado's last season with the Birds, first one to get all 3 gets a "like"

[DuffMan]

Hays
Mullins
and uh
Means?

Hays wasn't on the big league club in 2018 but he was around.  Partial credit so you get the like.  But there is one more

[Nigel Tufnel]

I think Santander was on the 2018 team.  Mullins definitely was, too, because I remember the controversy of Jones refusing the trade.  Machado was probably gone before Mullins joined the team, but I think he still counts.  The third probably was either Means or Hays... I say Hays.

[Mackus]

Givens? DFA but still technically an Oriole for now.

Hays didn't get recalled at all in '18 and Mullins and Means didn't debut until after the trade.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Technically 4 current Os put on the Os uniform during the 2018 season. Im pretty sure only 1 or 2 of them played with Manny.

[Nigel Tufnel]

If Brach is in the booth tonight, is he allowed to say that he was teammates with Manny?

[TwentyThirtyFive]

So Im thinking maybe Santander was the only one to play in a game with Manny. Unless Ced debuted in July. Pretty sure he didnt

Um, what are you doing saying his name? Didn't we just go over this? 

 

Suspend him, Stoner.

[DuffMan]

It was Santander,  I wasn't counting Givens because of the DFA.   

 

I apologize for my half assed, trivia question.  Should've been more specific.   Just kind of amazing to me at the turnover.  It makes sense I guess, 5 years is a reasonable amount of time and we've gone through a rebuild since then.  I guess I was just shocked at some of the names that were on that team.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Ahh, you beat me to it.

 

No, he isn't. And he's still within the 90 days standard new hire probationary period, so it'll be a very short lived broadcasting career for him if he goes there.
