Not good .. game is going south this inning

Swing the daggone bat … geez!! Stand there watching against this plus 6 ERA jerk

Odor played 3b last year for first time in his career and played 33 games there for the Yankees. It does get Vavra as another LH bat in the lineup and he is lefty compared to Urias (although a lefty who can’t hit very well lol)

If I am the teams coming to play us on this “difficult” schedule, I don’t want to be playing us. Every so often there are teams that are on a baseball Karma run .. things happen like routine flyballs hitting outfielders in the face for homers etc Other teams want nothing to do with us right now!

Terrin’s dad, Joe Vavra, was the long time hitting coach and bench coach with the Twins from 2005-2017. The Twins hitting performances and approach during that run were outstanding overall. Terrin’s knowledge of hitting has been built in lots of ways

If I blame anyone I blame Peter Angelos

Mike Mussina gave me many many many pleasurable games and moments! Outside of Jim Palmer, the best Os pitcher ever. I am glad he was there tonight!!

I do think expansion of the playoffs was a bad idea… but I will take it if we make it lol

If the team goes only 28-27 in remaining games that leads to 84-78.. which frankly now would be disappointing lol .. Smoke em!!

He heard you! Book it to the good guys!!

Is that three innings with runners left on second and third?

4 runners left at second and third in last two innings.. sigh

Looked like Ryan was told to take a pitch or two

Thanks very much ..he appears slower than that. i assume you are citing the Baseball Savant running tool metric? Really good stuff.. thanks! I love the OH!! https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/running_splits?type=percent&bats=&year=2022&position=3&team=&min=5

Not slow .. just not quick lol

Mountcastle may end up not being part of the next playoff team .. slow, big mediocre first base DH tyoes can be replaced

Well I am. I know that.

It is so interesting that 99 percent of the decision is not because he isn’t ready or that he is not better than what we currently have but instead it is the byzantine and inherently dumb rules of promotion, arbitration, roster size etc which is really what draws in the majority of fans… how well Elias can manage a slick delay off the 40 man to keep this clock from starting or ticking or something

Where are the ML free agents Elias is adding?

When you get Jim Palmer oooohing and laughing out loud as often as he has with Mateo, you have a good defensive player. Jim gauges against the best Oriole defensive SS ever, Mark Belanger

Mateo is going to be a star .. he is going to hit better and better .. He just brings an intensity to his game that says star quality stuff

As a psychiatrist I have seen multimillionaires who also suffer considerable torment from their mind and brain There is an old saying.. the only thing worse than not getting what we want is getting what we want.

Or maybe DL Hall finishes his innings this year in that slot, smokes it and the bullpen is better
