Wakefield was an awesome human being. Brain cancer sucks. RIP

I tend to think of the Os as having poor starting pitching, but Bradish is very impressive. Means is good (is he post-season eligible?), and even Gibson looks ok.

Bradish looks crazy good. Very irritating that on top of all the blue chippers the Orioles are also getting great performances out of nobodies.
...Hey, Valdez is looking pretty good on defense lately. From what I've seen at least. I'm pretty okay with Urias/Valdez at 2B next season.

No motivation to comment on the game after finding out the tragic news.
Thanks all for the mostly fun, often spirited exchanges in a difficult, disappointing season. We'd have quite a blast sitting in a pub watching a game together. Doing it here isn't a bad substitute!

Their discussion about Story solidifying the infield defense has a corollary: Kiké's play at SS was like a pollutant that leached into every other position. It made Devers worse. All those errant and unpredictable throws undoubtedly made Casas worse and are probably one reason for his surprisingly poor defensive ratings. As bad as Kiké's defensive numbers were, they probably understate the negative effects he had on the overall team defense.

From what I've seen at least. I'm pretty okay with Urias/Valdez at 2B next season. The only issue with Valdez/Urias is you're carrying two people for 2B and not getting a backup SS out of it
There are ways to work around that though

Devers straight to the bench after the official scorer changed his mind and gave him RBI #100

Not much interest in this game and Hibachi dinner plans tonight.
Take the time to say, been a pleasure to share the season with you all in the game thread. Through the good, and mostly bad. LOL
Will be here for the next years run, for sure. Will check in over the off season, but the game thread is my favored place to commune with the Sox Prospect community and never take it for granted.
To better day ahead !!

Fellas, for the time being there is an unexpected reason to keep watching this one.

I feel for Dalbec. He’s not even close to putting a ball in play

Dalbec 27 strikeouts in 52 PA's this year
Can't imagine we're gonna carry him on the 40 this offseason

Houck is going all Devern Hansack on us today. Last game of the season, against the O's, all that's missing is the rain.

Orioles pulled a lefty about to face Houck for the third time
Trying to deny a division rival their rightful draft position!

Man, they’ve gotten some nice performances from pitchers of late. It’d be great if that was a sign of things to come.

It has been a while since he smiled like that !! Like to see it. I'm not much of a stats guy so I don't post much but after all the dugie hate it got me looking last night at his game ab's since he got hurt... 17 games as of last night he was bad. So I looked at the 17 games prior to the hamstring injury and they were very good. When ya look why all the hate? Sorry I can't figure out how to get the page to show just those games before and after the last injury.
