He's throwing 100. That has to at least count for something (Not with command though apparently)

He didn't let the ball travel

It was actually more about the types of pitches off the plate in the AB, ones that he seems to swing at all the time

Westburg will be there with him

Hardy har har

I'm feeling rested.

I was going to ask the same thing about Mountcastle's AB

I'm gonna have a T-Shirt made. "Sports Guy was right"

Mateo 2022 is back

wow... gutsy take

Hey you blokes! Did you miss me?

Definitely not Paul Bako or Lew Ford

You got that half right. He looks like he's reverted to a mid 600 OPS player

This just isn't a playoff team lineup

Peak Mussina was awesome. Especially during the steroids era

He gambled. And lost

I don't remember an O's backup catcher who I thought could really hit the ball hard. Unfortunately, McCann's numbers don't show the production.

Come on ... let's see some magic

They haven't gotten the ball out of the infield... yet

Man... this lineup would look great with Frazier traded and Westburg or Ortiz at 2B

This season is about winning and getting to the playoffs. Gunnar isn't helping the offense reach that goal. Today he struck out with the bases loaded, the last 2 pitches were 92 mph fastballs right down the middle. If he can't hit those pitches, something might need to be done to get him straightened out. Maybe platoon him with Urias at 3B? Maybe bring up Westburg to take ABs against lefties?

I just want to win games. And IMO ditching 1 catcher and adding Westburg increases the likelihood of winning games. There will be plenty of opportunities for Westburg to play if he produces.

Probably not, but those chances are likely improved if Westburg is promoted to share time with Gunnar in the lineup. Maybe by giving up on the carry 3 catchers nonsense.

There to face the lefty. Great job

I don't know... I've seen a lot of ugly overmatched swings lately. Hope I'm wrong.
