It doesn't change my opinion - Seattle is a more pitcher-friendly park the OPCY; Miranda got more outs on fly balls than grounders.

Did you have any opinions about that performance?<br />I want to stress that I have no current qualms about the trade, although Miley is a 7 million dollar gamble and he seems to have a lot in common with Gallardo, the 22 million dollar gamble.<br />The question was asked,"why not just let Miranda start for us?"<br />I'm curious why that was never tried? Miranda got two innings with the big club and that was it.<br />Does Dan LIKE spending pots of money on hopefully-average pitchers?Pipnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-21066544651736554022016-08-05T13:32:32.534-04:002016-08-05T13:32:32.534-04:00And the altitude at OP@CY is that much higher than...And the altitude at OP@CY is that much higher than Norfolk? Ummmm....<br />I listened to the game and wasn't that impressed but... give him time. Even Urbaldo threw a pretty nice game last time he was out there, only to be sabotaged by the bullpen. It' going to be an interesting fall.<br />tim in san josethe musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817585929019348681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-26322021076649443392016-08-05T09:41:35.757-04:002016-08-05T09:41:35.757-04:00Also, I know that the Arrieta/Strop trade is alway...Also, I know that the Arrieta/Strop trade is always going to be the bellweather of O's bad trades but neither pitcher was worthy of keeping at the time and both were terrible. The only real question is whether they were screwed up by the O's or they screwed themselves up. If it was by the O's then they were never going to be anything and the O's did themselves and the pitchers a favor by letting go. If they did it to themselves then someone would have needed a crystal ball to know. I'd have rather gotten something better than Feldman but the trade was reasonable at the time. And so is the Miranda trade. They put Miley up against the team he fares the worst against in his first start. There will be better starts.Rogernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-4671865930033162802016-08-05T09:37:28.325-04:002016-08-05T09:37:28.325-04:00I agree on Miranda but don't tell Palmer about...I agree on Miranda but don't tell Palmer about your opinion of high leg kicks.Rogernoreply@blogger.com
