[Svechhammer]

Season’s over. Flyer is contagious.

Irritable Bowel eXtreme

Sounds fitting for the team right now

 

[Rebels57]

Dombrowski really not gonna do anything else after he botched last years trade deadline?

 

[Rebels57]

Sweet. Cant wait to watch him destroy the Phillies again in our 4 game series out in Arizona.

 

[PDX Flyer]

Any thoughts on Trevor Rogers? Sounds like the O’s just got him and gave up two quality prospects.

The O's have an embarrassment of riches in their system and can afford to give up prospects to help their chances this season.

 

[wankstifier]

Think they should move Holliday for a SP

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

No Cole tonight. Late scratch due to "general fatigue."

Please don't embarrass us again, assholes.

Cole's replacement from AAA has a 6.11 ERA there and 18 HR allowed.

So shutout incoming?

 

[Rebels57]

Dombrowski really had us fooled, huh?

How many higher lineup/staff caliber players are truly available this deadline? Seems like every fanbase of contending teams are kind of annoyed with their team’s front office right now.

How many fanbases were told by the GM that they were not making any big offseason moves after a devastating NLCS collapse because they wanted to save their chips for the deadline?

Yeah it was the two White Sox guys who don't sound like they are moving. Tanner Scott just went for four prospects. Not a buyer's market.

SD has a nasty bullpen now btw.

His velocity has dipped and he doesn't really miss bats anymore. Won't be pitching in Miami's park anymore either. Baltimore is smart though.

 

[GKJ]

The Estevez trade looks great right now though given what was given up

 

[Halladay]

I'd like another middle reliever but don't expect it to happen.

What are the odds Chicago trades those guys at a later date for less than what was probably being offered this deadline? It sounds like they’re not really being realistic with potential returns.

I see some people criticizing Baltimore for not being aggressive this deadline again. But what is out there that could noticeably change their current position? It seems like shoring up their pitching depth is the best move(s) they could do.

 

[FLYguy3911]

When did Mark Leiter Jr. get this good?

 

[Rebels57]

Padres going all in while Dombrowski kicks up his boat shoes and does nothing.

I'll be honest, I had no idea who Tanner Banks was 3 minutes ago.

 

[Rebels57]

Phillies gonna wait to claim dudes off waivers when other teams drop out

Wait, what? Phils traded Dominguez a few days ago and now Soto to the O's over the last few days?

O's now have 3 members of the 2023 Phillies bullpen. They already had Kimbrel.

Looking at the Phillies 2023 bullpen and saying "yea. Lets get a bunch of those guys!" Sure is a strategy...

 

[GKJ]

 

[Rebels57]

So they replaced Pache with Hays, Dominguez with Estevez, and Soto with Banks. We also lost one of of our top 10 prospects in Klassen along the way.

Dave is a Wild Man! Plan the parade.
