Is Rickard really a better pick versus left handers than just playing one of the other guys?

>>75957152
he's okay

>>75957152
He throws a lot of offspeed stuff so the orioles are gonna struggle since nobody on this fucking team hits anything but fastballs and hanging sliders

>>75957258
We just got to get to their bullpen.
Their new new new closer had a few good frames last week so it's time to fall apart

If trey wants to start hitting dingers again I wouldn't be opposed

I'm a big fan of this 2bh

I think the o's like that centrefield wall

So, what happened to that guy who posted those fucked-up image-melded pictures of Ausmus's face along with the fake Deepak Chopra quotes?

Catchers are OP desu

World Series back on famalam

Ouch

Rip

There are 3 outs in an inning

Joey Rickard was two of them

>Orioles SP gifted a huge lead early
F

of course lol

This is what happens when Miley pitches without Joseph behind the plate.

>>75958301
I like Miley but he has no plan b for when he can't work down and away

>Boyd already sharted all over the bed so this doesn't matter

Fucking faggot

>>75958328

He's a good pitcher, but he absolutely lives on the corners and if he doesn't have a good pitch framer he'll either walk everyone or get clobbered.

It'll be nice once we go to robot umps.

>>75958331
Fantasy padding though

Thanks JD

Betcha the batters go 123 with at least 1 strikeout now

Will Manny ever hit above .300 again?

Now that cuckhoop has throughly pissed me off I guess it's time for the Os to blow another lead

>>75959410

How does anyone watch basketball in the first place? It's the most dull sport this side of soccer.

>tfw Rickard is playing instead of Kim or Smith.

>>75959449
I tried to get into basketball but the regular season (and half the playoffs) just doesn't matter at all

>>75959449
Gambling mostly

And I take any opportunity to root against Boston success. Got to say, not working.

>>75959481
It was a lefthanded starter, neither is allowed to as much as look at one

Which is stupid because Rickard can't hit anybody

>>75959518

I feel bad for Kim. He's a solid leadoff guy who's blocked because Smith is on a ridiculous hot streak.

>>75959551
Kim's annoying because he's too good to throw away but not good enough to be traded for anything.

So we're just stuck with a guy who isn't getting playing time

Offense pls, 2 runs isn't enough for Brach

>>75959785

At some point we need to bundle a bunch of our surplus corner outfielders and trade for a starter, or a short stop.

detroit has a comfy infield

>dat path from the mound to the plate

>>75960846
I don't think so. Pregame talks said he was available, he's probably slated to be the closer if it's needed. Might even see him pitch the bottom frame

This is honestly pretty funny

TAKE A FUCKING PITCH YOU PIECE OF TRASH

O's were supposed to have one of the best pens in the league. WTF happened. Brach is a disaster. Archer is AAA shit.

Noone can pitch anymore.

5 straight 1 run games. 4 of them we lost. About to make it 5.

At least Chris Davis might have to pitch.

Then jonesy hit a 3r HR over the monster off whoever the position player was that was pitching for the sox.

>>75963948

This might be the way to go. Feel bad about it, but his glove isn't what it was and even then it'd be hard to justify the utter black hole in the lineup that he represents.

Can Mancini play third?

Kinda want them to blow this too

>>75963963

At the very least, three batters will reach this inning.

>>75963971
Can Mancini play third?

hardest laugh I've had today. Technically Davis could but I wouldn't put him either. Looking at the pitching situation you have to go all in on defense, so Flaherty would be my pick for 3rd after moving Manny over
