This was a really crappy loss and the person who swayed it the most from a win to a loss was Buck Showalter.

 

Now let's move on and take 3 from the Red Sox.

Right, I don't think he'll go to a contender.  But I think that a 24 year old pitcher making low money who has shown potential in the past will not clear waivers.

Yea, I could see that.

 

Only reason I say he won't is because so many organizations have power arms they can try, so they may not waste time on a guy like Strop.

Every team literally has a Strop in their organization. Its actually the biggest reason while he'll probably clear.

I don't think he'll clear, but he's got a better shot at helping this team in August and September if they try to pass him through waivers than if they don't.

The thing is not only are there physical pitching issues with Strop but clearly he's completely fried mentally. 

 

 

I totally expect him to go to AAA and pitch well and then come up and get lit up again when the lights are bright. He's done.

Havent overreacted once today.

 

 

You guys need to hold this team to a higher standard. This manager to a higher standard.

 

I know dude.  Buck and DD have done nothing but stink up this franchise ever since they got here.

Game is over. Everyone go get a drink.... come back tomorrow. That is what the O's will do.

 

Can't get too high when you win, can't get too low when you lose.
