Bobby Bust needs to hit another GIDP.

Grayson tomorrow? C'mon.

I can't believe this game is top of the 6th already.

Grienke is out of the game, WTF????????

A double play, of course.

Greinke is easily going 9 at this rate. This is unbelievable.

Last night we were on here bemoaning how they were flailing away at Yarbrough's offerings through the first time through the lineup. And the ambush started on the 2nd time through. Doesn't seem to be the case with Greinke tonight so far.

Nope, got one more tomorrow afternoon! Must be a good steakhouse they want to get to. Good news is that Gibson is highly efficient tonight, too. Until Italian Breakfast goes deep.

Hey Kevin, we heard you the first 50 times about the length of the Santander at bat last night.

We're not even trying to work the count against Grienke. I mean, we're attacking him because he's around the plate but he's gonna cruise at this point if we don't ease up a bit and try to work the count.

Stowers hit and a Stowers assist at home plate. The collective OH:

Who says this franchise doesn’t spend money?

Gunnar has himself a new Topps card as part of their living set: https://www.topps.com/cards-collectibles/online-brands/living-settm/topps-mlbr-living-setr-card-620-gunnar-henderson.html Looks like a pissed off biker, IMO.

Nothing wrong with that. It's not Cream, but it's not terrible.

I think we pick a lot of stuff apart here but I also think this place is pretty intelligent about doing so. I'd imagine the Orioles Facebook groups to be like "WE NEED TO GIVE JUDGE 400 MILLION"

Yeah, I'm taking it too far because it's the only real value he's bringing to the team right now. I just don't think he should be sent down at the end of the day. Had he not been at the .361 OBP and more around the .300 mark, I'd be more inclined to agree that he needs to be sent down.

Negative WAR due to the defense. I don't think bringing up negative WAR is the flex you think it is when looking at offense only.

This is funny, you're saying I'm illogical and then you're telling me that if you want Gunnar's walks replaced to give his replacement the take sign. I know you're being sarcastic but you still haven't offered a good solution. By my count, Gunnar and Urias have been starters in the same lineup in 16 of the 29 games played. There have been 3 additional games where Urias was inserted into the lineup later in the game (and not replacing Gunnar, IIRC). So that's 16 games they've been in the starting lineup together, 19 where they've been in the same lineup. That's not taking into account the few games that Urias missed with his concussion. If not for injury, they could have been in the lineup as starters more often. Seeing as how they've been in the lineup often enough together, replacing Urias for Henderson still isn't a 1:1 replacement of OBP. So, try again.

...Mateo's already in the lineup every day. He's not replacing Gunnar's OBP if Gunnar gets sent down. Gunnar only has 8 more plate appearances than Urias, so Urias is already in the lineup on a semi-regular basis. Urias isn't replacing Gunnar's OBP if he's already in the lineup practically as often as Gunnar is. Try again. Send Gunnar down, who's replacing a .361 OBP and the guy who's 3rd in the AL in walks?

Who's going to replace a .361 OBP? Don't say Westburg or Ortiz, they're not proven.

No. First of all, Kelenic got his swing in check along with his approach and started seeing a sports psychologist this past offseason. Kelenic's success has nothing to do with being sent back to the minors. https://theathletic.com/4443635/2023/04/26/mariners-mets-jarred-kelenic-adjustments/ Gunnar shouldn't be sent down. Quite frankly, his walks are too valuable to create a void in the lineup because he isn't hitting. It'll be hard to replace a .361 OBP which is 5th on the team between Adley, Mateo, Cedric and Urias. He's proven everything he can at the minor league level. He's gotta figure it out now. Even if he's struggling, walks don't slump. They keep the inning going, they keep him valuable and they keep getting him on base so others can drive him in. I'm fairly confident that he'll start to hit eventually, the only thing that gives me pause is the fact that he's not great against breaking balls. But that can change, too.

I'll settle for 13-12, even 12-13 over the next 25.

20 year old pre-juicing A-Rod did in 96 with a 1.045. That was the year he hit .358 with 36 homers and finished second to Juan Gonzalez in the MVP voting cause 144 RBI. EDIT: whoops, misunderstood what you wrote.

Oh no, I thought he was going to have a great start to his season cause he was hot at the WBC and that was gonna carry over.
