I know it’s popular to shit on the Angels organization for that but it’s really on him at the point. He had every opportunity to go somewhere else a couple times but probably enjoyed the low expectations, early vacations, and LA wimminzs. Won’t fault him for that last point doe.

Crow Armstrong is not good and I'm happy with the 6 weeks of Javy Baez over him, sorry to tell you and gaskill
Even if Pete stays a bust the move saved the Cubs from giving Baez 150 million to have a .600 OPs for 6 years. Win win either way for me.

I think he's a case of a guy who would bounce back or not have fallen off in the right city.

The Orioles have given up 8 runs in their last 7 games.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.

The Orioles are stacked. Best team in the league and they are the only team in MLB with a tougher strength of schedule so far than the Mets, and still more studs waiting in AAA. Impressive rebuild.

I wish the Mariners could hit like the Orioles, but the pitching has been top notch. 6 series wins in a row 👏.

Phillies currently have the best record in baseball (technically leading Baltimore by .5 games).

I wasn't expecting this and I don't expect this to continue; especially with Turner out for 6 weeks.

That said, not too bad so far.

Yamamoto with 8 strong last night. I remember when KUB thought I should be worried about his spring training performance. Cute.

He's good but he's going to get his tits waxed when it counts. We both know it.

The Orioles need a closer. Kimbrel has already cost them 3 games and is lucky it isn't more. They're 24-12 DESPITE him.

I knew the second he signed what Baltimore was getting.

He's well past his best days.

You can always root for the Rangers. Better yet, root for the Royals.

I am shocked he is still in the MKB.
