Exhibit A for why McKenna was not claimed when he was DFA'ed. I think even as limited as Tony is defensively, he would have likely made that play.

exactly. Don't need automatic outs.

Terrible play by Cowser. Mateo could have probably hit an inside the park HR in the time it took Langeliers(sp?) to score from 1st.

At least Akin is on

He's safe but he never touch the plate!

Thank God we had elite defensive OF McKenna in RF to make that play.

ball game

Need a shutdown from Kimbrel

Ok eventually Adley will connect on one of those swings where he falls to a knee. 1 handed HR. Good eye, walk.

Using my DirtyBird decoder ring, Red is for blood, like you're bleeding plus it's 2nd place to blue. This pitcher must be terrible.

I try to block it out of my memory.

Yeah I don't think anyone expects him to keep up anywhere near this pace. He did have a high OBP throughout the minors and even walked quite a bit last year when he couldn't buy a hit during his call up. I think eventually 3rd might be a good spot for him.

Yeah, I can understand batting Cowser at the bottom of the lineup at the beginning of the year, but I think he's proved he can hit MLB pitching. I would bat him no lower than 5th.

They cook good in an air fryer too.

Nevin auto corrected to Never. I hope that means Never again on the O's.

Tell me your offense sucks w/o telling me your offense sucks. Tyler Never leading off and playing 1B.

I'm keeping Suarez in the mlb rotation over Irvin. Means shouldn't go back in the rotation until he show he can get ML hitters out. I would rather see him in the bullpen than the rotation

Was that before or after the O's signed him? Did he go on the IL for the sunburn injury?

Disappointed that Jackson couldn't stick in his 1st exposure to the majors. He seemed to be making more contact the last few games. Obviously still striking out way too much. The O's got that 7th year of control and no one can say his time was manipulated. Will be interesting to see how long it takes for him to start hitting in Norfolk again.

Maybe Hays will play 2b too. Can never have too many 2b men.

Does taxi squad time count as ML service time? I assume he gets ML salary while on taxi squad.

I hope you're joking but I'm afraid not. Why not teach Jim to catch too?

Not if Means starts one of the games. No series is an easy sweep. Look what happened the last game Gray Rod started.

Gee, I hope not. Do we have the relievers to cover 8 2/3. He hasn't looked against AAA competition. That doesn't bode well for pitching against ML hitters.

Akin is too valuable to go to AAA. .maybe Baumann is DFAed or more likely Means is not ready to return and continues on IL.
