I volunteer 🤚

Letting the Orioles skate their way into a split and then getting swept by the AA-led Braves is my own personal 9/11.

So if it looks like we are going to lose today I trust that everyone will be extra kind to me.

Thanks.

[G-Snarls]

They said Fluharty is being used as an opener on Sportsnet this morning

[Terminator]

The good news is that this is hopefully the last day of the year where the roster is a complete mess due to injuries.

Pitching:

• Cease will be able to take his next turn through the rotation. Huge.
• Scherzer should also be able to take his next turn through the rotation. Need the innings.
• Nance will be back next week too. He's been dealing this year.
• Bieber should be back later this month. This is pretty big addition as Steamer thinks he's a 3 WAR talent.
• Yimi could be back later this month but I'm not confident.

Hitting:

• Kirk will be back next week which is massive. I see some people downplaying this because Val has been good but Kirk is our best player and it has ripple effects throughout the lineup.
• Barger will also be back. Our corner OFers have been good so this one has less of an impact. 

[Terminator]

If Cease, Scherzer and Nance are in fact back next week it will be interesting to see what they do.

My guess:

• Seabold is DFA'd and he'll elect FA.
• Juenger optioned.
• Macko optioned.
• Yariel survives bc if he's DFA'd again he can elect FA and we are on the hook for his contract. Though at 6.5 AAV for two more years after this one, they could just bite the bullet now and keep Macko.

Our problem is mainly due to offense struggles, so I don't know having Kirk and Barger return would fix our batters underperforming.

Are you aware that Kirk and Barger are NOT pitchers?  /sarc

Idk all these bullpen days have been a disaster and Kirk is a major improvement over Val who is a major improvement over Hineyman

Barger probably less of an impact but I would like to see them work him into the infield some more

[DownSouthBlueJay]

JS never learns we might get shut out today.Lukes should be leading off.Who cares if the pitcher is a lefty

I'm not talking about pitching though. Our pitching has been fine despite injuries, but our offense on the other hand, a lot of healthy players are not performing.

Gimenz, Springer and Vladdy combined about $80M of payroll and only have 1.5 fWAR all together.

[neverbeenhere]

Just like yesterday 2 on on one out

Vlad so useless, 1 pitch out

[DownSouthBlueJay]

Ofc vlad swings at the 1st pitch.At least it wasnt a ground ball

[Landry_25]

And the usual okamoto K

[DownSouthBlueJay]

I swear its the same bs every game lol

[neverbeenhere]

garbage line up

[G-Snarls]

Failure

[Rynodb1]

Ugh. 

[Rynodb1]

2 on. 1 out. 

Nothing. Again. 

Deflating. 

[Buster]

1 for 6 with RISP and it's only 2 innings in.

And that's "1" was an infield hit so it didn't score the run. 

Dagnabbit.

No one can save this team. Including this game, there are 100 games left for the season. With 29/33 record so far, they have to go 61/39 to win 90 game, no one can do that.

[G-Snarls]

Finally!

[hanton]

a Big Mac special
