    It was absolutely the correct move given the info they had at the moment, but it really ended up fucking over Detroit, which I thought was awesome.

    The only team I enjoy seeing fucked over is Pittsburgh.  There’s no denying the greatness of Sidney Crosby … but, he’s a sniveling pussy.

    Last night was high comedy --  Philly pulled their goalie in a tie game (even though they had just been eliminated literally seconds earlier, coaches didn't know) and immediately gave up an empty netter to lose and put the Caps in the playoffs.  

    The Flyers’ only playoff chance going into the game was a W in regulation.  I think it was the correct move considering ~3 minutes remained in a tie game.  Like you noted, they weren’t aware they had been eliminated just seconds before.

    Any chatter about sending Holliday back down? 1/22 was not expected by me ha. 

    Don’t see that happening.  The O’s have been breaking in kids for the past 3 seasons (Rutschman, Henderson, Westburg, Cowser) and even further if you go back to Hays, Mullins, and Mountcastle.  Holliday will come around just as they have.

    If you’re interested, here’s a pretty thorough look at Holliday’s ABs leading up to that first hit.  He’s being pitched to which is no surprise considering he’s hitting right in front of Gunnar.

    Was Pierce unable to find a pitching coach willing to come to Texas and work as an assistant under him, or did he just, outta the blue, decide that he could do a better job himself?  Did one lead to the other?  Seems like the dumbest decision ever, but…I’m no coach.

    Don’t underestimate the depth of pitching knowledge required to throw BP to a ML team …

    Who?

     

    There’s a reason Tyler Wells will be back in the bullpen as soon as Bradish or Means gets back, or Elias trades for another starter.  Wells is wild in the strike zone and that makes for some majestic bombs … 🤬

    Not much of a MLB guy but the O’s have caught my attention this year. In NB everyone hypes up Westburg and Holliday is fun. I’ll hop on the bandwagon if y’all have room. 

    Sure thing … welcome aboard!  It’ll be fun to watch them learn and continue to improve.
