Tony-OH

Right now he's not catching up to anything hard so I can see what he's cheating and guessing at this point. Right now he's in shock mode. He's getting into an embarrassing historically bad start to a major league career. It's sad to see. He's just not ready. There is no redeeming fact to his offensive game right now. I was saying give him to May 1st, but he might set a futility record if they do that.

C'mon now. He's hit a few balls hard at people for sure, but he has a .127 xWOBA, a 86.6 EV, and a .092 XBA. He's been just bad, not unlucky.

He was really good at going oppo in the minors too. Seems like he's trying to pull everything and is now guessing at the plate.

I'd walk Perez right now in any situation with two outs besides the bases loaded.

Hmm, interesting since in theory they should come from the same system.

Nice pick by Holliday there. That was an a plus OAA play.

Well, the TV strike zone is not the real zone. So actually, the umpire was apparently right.

Frickin' umpire to just cost us at least one run there.

Big league hitters don't guess on 3-2. They see ball, hit ball.

Somebody needs to go put a red tag on Holliday's locker. Bring up Norby for a bit.

Man, just terrible. Tells me he's a guess hitter to watch that on 3-2. Was thinking slider got a center-center fastball that he watched. Sorry, but he's not ready for the big leagues.

Man Holliday pulls off everything.

Strange bullpen management. Why let Lugo face Cowser and then bring in the lefty to face Westburg?

Sit curveball Cowser!

One swing away from that though.

Mounty having a nice two-way game!

I can't believe Renfroe didn't get that. He catches everything hit by us.

Bradish was sent to Norfolk to continue his rehab.

Damn, nice job by Irvin. He's pitched really well. Hopefully he can get through 6 and maybe into the 7th. Not feeling great about the bullpen right not at all.

Oy, not liking this. Irvin starting to give up hard contact and now Bobby Witt.

Holliday slowed up for some reason. He should have been sprinting to 1B. He slowed up and was slow to cover. Piss poor by him.

I was thought Michael Young was a good comp for Westburg and still do. Westburg may never hit for the average that Young did, but he may have a bit more home run power.

Just terrible. Only Rutschman did something good. Holliday is like having a pitcher in your lineup and Gunnar had a bad PA.

Ugh, if Adley doesn't get this run in this situation is going to cost the Orioles.

He lined out to 2B though it would be a 4-3 if Frazier was in normal positioning.
