Orioles are in town. Battle of the birds, I guess? Sept 16-18.

It's going to be three games. Not nearly as nervewracking as it could have been a couple of weeks ago, but winning the series is still important.

I didn't see a thread, so I'm starting one quickly - sorry for the lack of information.

Discuss.

Lets score ten here, so we feel comfortable putting Kikuchi in?

I wanted that Vladdy ball down the line to be fair so we could see the exit velocity … and because it would have been a hit, too, of course.

Merryweather has five pitches so far - why are we warming up the pen?

This is the worst broadcast I've ever heard in my life at any level of sports.

Why are they talking about Odor/Bautista from like a decade ago and seemingly being unaware of the Bat Flip which led to the entire thing? Why are they now talking to a rookie on split screen who has played like 10 games?

One hell of an interview, too. Henderson plays hard, always makes an impact, gives 100%, is always playing 100% in order to make a hard impact, impacts hard at 100% into plays, and plays impacts 100% impacts plays.

The only reason they're giving Kukuchi so many chances to fail consistently time and time again --is because the price tag and commitment given to him.

IDK if it's incompetence, idiocy or politically motivated to keep sending Kikuchi out there..

I hate Kikuchi guy is the worst pitcher in baseball can't wait until he's no longer on this team

Randle McMurphy · Post #15 » by **Randle McMurphy** » Sat Sep 17, 2022 12:01 am

Hoping this is the last meaningful moment of a game that Kikuchi pitches in this season. Looks like he's about to cost another one.

Madvillainy2004 · Post #16 » by **Madvillainy2004** » Sat Sep 17, 2022 12:01 am

I hate watching Kikuchi pitch lmao

I would say it has more to do with the fact that their high minors depth is **** and they traded Castillo away for a backup utility player who they don't play. They literally have nobody to throw in these games of any kind of quality.

Just send him down already

Did I mention I hate Kikuchi what a waste of a roster spot

So I guess we're tanking for the #3 WC by letting the Orioles tee off of Kikuchi.
