Holliday should have dove there

I want to screen cap this and make it my avatar

Crawford is definitely dealing

This guy ain't no junkballer

Because they're not far enough to the left or the right?

Watch it again. I just don't think Mullins gets to the ball

It wasn't his play to call him off.

Honestly, didn't look like maximum effort there

Crawford is actually really nasty so far.

He sucks. Send him back down.

Has any ML team ever had 3 former #1 prospects in the lineup at the same time?

IMO... Tony Kemp gets a full share and a ring.

Ummm... in Norfolk?

Work days drag every day for an old dude like me.

Never ever ever ever will I understand the overall value of the Kemp signing.

Jeff Passan at ESPN has an article on all of the current injuries MLB pitchers are experiencing. Bradish and Means aren't mentioned but they certainly could be lumped in to the topic. Passan seems to focus on the pitch clock, but also discusses the games obsession with velocity and spin rates.

@Can_of_cornbrings much more to the board than your complaint about a layout format.

See... now that's the key for me. Urias and Mateo and Kemp... I wouldn't think twice about releasing them or trading them for any lottery ticket. But the decision with Hays and Mullins is much more complicated.

The owner isn't going to tell Elias how to manage the roster, nor is he going to tell Hyde how to manage games. Kemp should be an easy decision, perhaps Urias could be too. That gets the O's an infielder or two. But what would you suggest they do with Mullins (560 OPS) and Hays (249 OPS)? They're not injured... are you going to option them to free up space for Stowers or Kjerstad? Or release them?

Ya... I agree. Gunnar made a fantastic play and a poor throw. It happens

I'd rather the team get "on track" than "untracked". It's an unfortunate combination of all the things mentioned so far. It's only 8 games, but there should be recognition from Elias that these things have to be addressed.

But see... even though you started with a question about offensive options, you turned it around into a bullpen failure. A bullpen can only do so much when the offense totally mucks up the game.

Complaining about the bullpen usage in a game where the lineup continues to underperform is the height of shortsightedness

You probably have a higher OPS too

I don't think he hesitated. I just think he has the reaction time of a glacier
