Win–lose–lose 61-65 Time is beginning to run out on the O’s but what can you expect when you toss Ubaldo out there and your down 3 zip before you ate your 1st hot dog. O’s must go 26-11 to reach the probable 2nd wild card win number of 87. The O’s haven’t won 2 games in a row since August 7. Ubaldo allowed 5 runs in 5 innings, including 3 HRs. #hard to watch
I don’t care what anyone says—the Celtics stole Kyrie Irving from Cleveland for Isaiah Thomas. Kyrie is a proven champion. Jae Crowder to the Cavs helps a little but Kyrie is the real deal.
Floyd Mayweather was spotted eating a whopper in a Vegas mall. He must really be worried about Conor. No contest.
From ESPNinsider Joe Flacco is ranked as the 15th best QB currently in NFL.
The Ravens are first in defensive EPA and second in points allowed since Flacco joined them in 2008. They are 12th in points scored and 13th in Total QBR in that period, which lines up pretty closely with where Flacco ranks in this survey as a Super Bowl winner who has usually had an excellent defense on his side.
“I don’t know what to think on him,” a GM said. “I’ve never been impressed with the way he reads the field and the decisions he makes. He can throw the deep ball well. He is too inconsistent. He is certainly not a 1. He is either a 2 or a 3. I say 3.”
An offensive coordinator who conducted a study on the Ravens’ offense placed Flacco in the second tier, while saying the quarterback is sometimes criticized unfairly. (Aren’t they all?)
“He had a bad year [in 2016], but he is a function of who he has around him,” this coordinator said. “If the line is OK and they can run it a little bit, he can be a 2. But if they are going to put it on him just to throw, then they are going to struggle. He doesn’t process or read defenses very well, but he is physically gifted and he can throw the deep ball.”

That is 16 losses directly accountable to Buck leaving the starting pitcher in to long. That does not even count the O’s came back from a 5-9 run deficient. Buck has to go!
