Wow, that's huge. What did we give up?


He's UFA next year. Hopefully not that much.

Can he pitch tomorrow!? LOL

No further details released yet, from what I've seen.

Robberse and Kloffenstein. It’s not nothing but not particularly a lot either for a RP having as good a year as Hicks in a buyer’s market.

I like this move, even if Hicks is a free agent at the end of the year. Hopefully, this front office can acquire another decent bat that can play Second Base or even RF, so I do not have to see a scrub like Cavan Biggio getting meaningful at bats like he did in today's game off the bench.

After being yelled at by Chappy after inning #1 of the first game,,, Schneider walked Ohtani like there was no tomorrow in this series. I really feel Chapman's invective and managerial strategy guided Schneider's Ohtani decisions the rest of the way. :lol:

1-for-12 with runners in scoring position aint going to cut it folks!

24th in the majors hitting with RISP. 27th in slugging with hitting with RISP. The problem is not the pitching. It's the hitting.

Batters need to start imagining there are no RISP and maybe they will get some hits.

I don't trust this offense to make up a 2 run deficit.

Where is Chapman to yell at Schneider about Mountcastle owning the Blue Jays franchise

We're going to be 9.5 games back of the Orioles by the end of this series.

Dare i say the next 7 games are going to be season deciding? We can very easily lose all 7 and be out of the playoffs by the end of the week given how we've played against Baltimore and Boston this year. Things need to change or season is over.

Orioles commentators are so damn annoying. They talk about their team like they've proven something already.
