    Based on your opinion. What's changed about Sam? I've seen some of you say "his arm is toast" and such. He's throwing with the same velocity as he was last year, 2 years ago and 3 years ago. IMO his problem is his control is nowhere close to what it was prior to this year. Too many of his pitches are staying in the hitting zone. His walks are about the same, his K's are down a bit...it's his hits allowed that have skyrocketed.

    You guys may very well be right and that his days as an effective pitcher are done. But too many times have I seen a player have ONE poor year and come right back to where they were before.

    It's just unusual. The Steeler, Pirate, and Penguin stars are all worshiped in their house, but for some reason they don't think he is of good character. Beats me. And LF, don't worry about my wife's family, that are a little strange. They're Yinzers to the max and I dread going there, lol.

    Frazier of late is looking tired and not driving or being as clutch as he was before...

    Hi-C up as the tying run.

    Or not. 2 solid defensive plays by the O's that inning.

    Based on the fact that he throws 88 (on a good day) with nothing on it. We've all got our favorites (I'm a Ludwick man myself) but enough with the excuses and the rationalizations. This team is what it is because our favorites haven't gotten the job done. Changes have to be made and the bull pen is the perfect place to start.

    We're still bad, but a fun game until the same old bullpen did the same old thing.
