So does everyone else. What do you think every Rewards Program is? Your selling your data.

Mountcastle wasn't wearing Voth's uniform.

Why not just ask for one of the ones he's already had made? He's got crates of 'em.

Those Sweepers don't look like competitive pitches right now.

Youngest Yankee ever to hit one.

Build character for relievers to come in with men on base.

Hey you guys got your fly ball with a guy in scoring position!

Oh it's a hot one.

When Elias took over I was hopeful the O's would follow suit. It's a logical move to make.

By design. The strategy is called using an opener.

I was expecting some Santana from you.

But they aren't.

I do not get the appeal of a sac fly. Why would you not ask for a hit instead? I'll take a big dong please!

Messing with WC.

Yes but the O's have Holt!

Not all starting innings are low leverage and not all bullpen innings are high leverage. For instance we've seen the bullpen cough up runs in low leverage situations (the O's are ahead by multiple runs).

It might not be evolution, I would think that the mix would vary with the opposition.

Have them suit up as the third catcher.

I don't know what all the stats stand for but hey the O's are in first so I like this stat! https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=3&season=2023&month=0&season1=2023&ind=0&team=0,ts&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=2023-01-01&enddate=2023-12-31&sort=11,d Look at the Cubs.

Almost, the missus demanded it be a steel air guitar sections, which makes sense since you'll be sitting down.

You know how to whistle don’t ya, Steve? Just put your lips together and blow.
