D.J Stewart should not be in AAA still. He's a low ceiling guy (which we knew when he was drafted), but he's major league ready.

I like him! Even after he regresses, he's still an above average hitter I think. Not a good defender so he's basically a 2nd division starter, but he's still a Major Leaguer that we got for nothing.

Rutschman is a Top 25 prospect in baseball right now, who just happens to not be a professional yet. I'd be very disappointed if they don't take him.

Treinen was never an Oriole, was he? Are you thinking of Josh Hader?

Wilkerson looked alright in centerfield tonight. Nothing particularly difficult but he was moving well from what I could see. Is it just me or are the Orioles having more communication problems in the outfield than other teams? Feels like I've seen a lot of near collisions this year, though I don't think it's hurt them at all yet.

Anonymous quote. Could have been Davis talking about himself.

Some good starts! DJ Stewart and GrayRod in particular are impressive. I wanted Stewart in Baltimore this year but we can't complain about Dwight Smith Jr. being given a chance so far. But if you're almost never going to take a walk (like Mountcastle or Jonesy or Salvador Perez), you'd better hit close to .300 or at least provide defensive value. And Mountcastle isn't going to be a plus defender. I'll go on record as saying I'm not a believer at all in Adam Hall even with his start.

Fantastic performance by Means tonight. Really impressive. Sat Diaz down right after that staredown, too.

Choi would write his name 최지만, which uses the Korean (Hangul) alphabet. Most Koreans could write their names using the Chinese Characters also, but they almost never do.

I think there's a grace period when the league starts. A team that wins the WS doesn't get first pick just because they start 0-2. The Orioles are still first for the first few weeks. Not sure when that ends.

Orioles have first dibs on him and I'm interested. Not a good catcher, but he can be a super-utility guy. See if he can figure out how to hit here. He was a Top 25 prospect at one point I believe.

Weak contact by Nunez and Ruiz leads to 3 runs. Remember that in the future when someone mashes one right into an out.

Just going by Fangraphs's Qualified pitchers standard. I think it's 1 IP/G

Of all the qualified pitchers right now, John Means has the highest Swinging Strike % in the major leagues. He's earned a spot on the team when Cobb comes back, in my opinion. I'd send Yacabonis down. The walk to Gardner was bad, but it was a really impressive at bat by Gardner.
