Moose Milligan

I still don’t like him.

He didn’t tip that.

Suck it, J-Rod.

You should buy some Powerball tickets today.

It was a very nice catch. I'm not quite sure if it would have gone over the fence or hit off the top of the wall had he not caught it. The best thing about that was that it was opposite field power. I don't know if O'Hearn is as pull-happy as I initially expected him to be.

Yeah, he's everyone's favorite punching bag on here, but I'm a bit disappointed no one bumped this to give him props for the walkoff homer today. Went with the pitch that was on the outer 3rd and hit a bullet for the game winning dinger. Happy to see him have a moment of glory.

Two hits today, the last one I saw was a single that was absolutely scalded. And then he promptly got picked off. But the play to nail the runner at the plate was fantastic. Made a perfect throw towards the 3rd base side so Adley could get the tag down. https://www.mlb.com/orioles/video/yennier-cano-in-play-out-s-to-teoscar-hernandez

I don't find this to be a strange argument, not in the least. Mullins was our best offensive player when he went down with his injury, he was having a fantastic season. One could even argue that Mullins is an offensive force. No one can say the same about Mountcastle...as a matter of fact, Mountcastle was having his worst season in the majors. I've pointed it out before a few times (others have, too) but he's been on a decline year after year since he arrived in the majors. Slash lines, OPS+, all the stats point to a guy in decline. I don't want to hear how unlucky he's been, he's not unlucky when he's swinging and missing at sliders out of the zone and rarely taking a BB. So for Mullins to only have one hit in his rehab assignment is a blip on the radar. It shouldn't even be a blip, it shouldn't even register with anyone, anywhere. What mattered the most for Mullins on his rehab assignment was that he could run without pain and that he could do all the things he could typically do on a ballfield without aggravating anything. All that anyone had to care about in regards to Mullins' rehab effort was that he was comfortable on the field. Mountcastle shares those concerns, too. He needs to recover from vertigo. But he also was having a terrible season before he was sidelined and his 12 at bats in Norfolk are a continuation of that. In a season when a few people on here were calling for him to be optioned to Norfolk in the first place, it makes sense to be a bit more critical of him. You'd like to see him tear up AAA pitching. Yes, I know it's only 12 at bats and that's a small sample size but, IIRC, he's striking out at the same clip down there as he was up here. I hate to view it this way because it's a cold way of looking at things, but Mountcastle getting sidelined with vertigo might be a blessing in disguise for the Orioles AND for Mountcastle. For the Orioles, he's not on the roster and O'Hearn continues to rake in his place. For Mountcastle, it's a chance to do whatever he needs to do to get back to being a capable hitter, maybe even learning a little bit of plate discipline if that's possible for him.

Ohtani only has one of the RBIs. ...in 5 at bats. It's the 5th inning.

From what I've read and understand about vertigo, it would be next to impossible to play baseball with it, even with a slight case of it. I don't think he was hiding anything.

He's just not good.

Beat me to it.

McKenna!!!

Never said he’s max steroids Gagne, but I was bagging on another poster who anointed him as the best closer in the sport earlier today. He’s not.

Misses his spots consistently. Can’t hit a target.

Someone lock Frobby’s thread making privileges. Reverse lock today.

No. Bautista isn’t as good as we’d all like to believe. BeSt cLoSeR iN tEh sPoRt!!!!!1111

Lol

Home in time to see the meltdown.

Yoshida will have the edge with the pretty slash line if he keeps it up. Voters haven’t historically cared about Japanese imports winning the award. Then again, it a WAR race.

Good.

Beg to differ.

It’s a dumb thing for Elias to care about, unless he wants to see one of these guys win Rookie of the Year, which would be a dumb thing for him to care about. And if he wants to see one of these guys win ROTY, then they should break camp with the team after ST in order to have the most amount of playing time to win.

Who cares?
