Is Mountcastle serious right now? That's a catchable ball and you make a horrible throw. This is a joke.

This homeplate ump is killing us. Missed the first pitch strike to Marwin.

Beyond pathetic for that ball to drop.

I think he pitched well. End of the day, though, he might be best served as a middle innings, swing man/long man. I liked what I saw.

Well, he oddly isn't starting tonight... I don't like it. https://twitter.com/masnRoch/status/1379184734857748485?s=20

No Santander... wut? https://twitter.com/masnRoch/status/1379184734857748485/photo/1

I could listen to Palmer teach a calculus class. Just love his calm voice.

Agreed. I wanted to hear what Palmer had to say, not Scott.

100%.

And his command was amazing. Even the balls he threw were "good balls" - just missing off the plate on the fastball, or just missing down on the changeup. Pitches I expected the Red Sox to chase and they didn't. Easily the best start we have ever seen from him.

Agreed, though he did get 14 whiffs today. Really special performance by Means.

FACTS. I missed Palmer in the booth. Just imagine how great it would have been if it was Palmer and Thorne.

What a joy to watch Means today. The command was superb. Let's hope Harvey can keep the scoreless innings streak alive.

NOO. I was hoping it was an April Fool's joke. Appears that it was not.

Rougned Odor is one.

If you cannot understand that the reward outweighs the risk in terms of vaccinating players, not only for the Orioles but for everyone, I don't know what to tell ya.

THIS.

LOL. I am not, but I am a fan of the British being Santander fans.

so.... playing with it is? Do you think he has a better chance of healing by playing with the strained oblique or sitting out with it? P.S. I know/assume you're just being silly.

Agreed. .750 OPS in 2018, .722 OPS in 2019, so not great, but very likely better than what we currently have. According to BBRef, he was worth 1.8 dWar in 2018, but at 0 in 2019 and -0.4 last year.

I mean, we do need a second baseman, and he's probably better than Valaika and Urias. He also punched Jose Bautista in the face which was awesome. What do ya'll think?

starting again at 2B today, FWIW... https://twitter.com/masnRoch/status/1376529043445678085?s=20

Helps Mullins' chances of being in there on Opening Day.

*thread.

Also it's coinciding with the Jimenez injury which I know is discussed in another threat.
