So do a lot of teams.

Was probably a bowling injury.

Great you say that and he fouls off a fastball!

Sure would have been nice if Gunnar had been up that inning.

Kevin Brown would be proud of that pop culture reference.

I'm not going to bet but I think they've got a solo HR in them.

GMO Beefsteak is redundant.

Tomato tomato.

I'm not normally one to suggest it but I wonder if the team is panicking a bit? Been some not smart baseball the last few days.

Could just send him to the minors and have him come back elite.

I know getting demoted would do wonders for my confidence.

Veteranoisity.

Would be kinda funny if 1-1 and 1-2 that draft end up being DH's .

1- The poster I was responding to was talking about it helping him. If they had said that for the good of the team he needs to be replaced... 2- AAA is a wasteland of pitching and the automated strike zone makes it a poor substitute for the majors. 3- Gunnar and Adley stayed in the majors and made their adjustments there. Elly De La Cruz didn't get sent down and learned to hit in the majors, Bobby Witt JR has gone from an OPS+ of 102-117-142. Machado learned to hit in the majors. I'd wager more high pedigree guys learn in the majors instead of having an epiphany when they are sent down.

Not sure how you read that out of what they said.

How is batting against minor league pitching going to help?

It's going to irritate some folks here when he makes the All-Star game.

I'm right there with you.

Is he even the first guy in the rotation that would be replaced?

I think he was pretty much playing every day while Mountcastle was in the IL.

You didn't answer my question.

Maybe we can get a sac fly later.

He's got 53 RBI batting leadoff. More at bats > fewer at bats. Out of all the Oriole hitters who do you want to have the most at bats?

Spoiler: Not good.
