Went 1-2 with a walk in Saturday’s game.

7:20 first pitch

MLB.tv just started broadcasting

The AAA coaches Called him Westy when talking to reporters.

Excited to see him play. And I do expect him to play.

That was a pretty ugly play. On one of the replays you can see the first base coach screaming like a mad man for Mateo to come back. Mateo didn’t seem to even look back to first for several seconds. Not a good look.

Hicks said in an interview that the major adjustment was staying more upright.

They played Odor and he wasn’t making that much money. I think the front office is an odd mix of a hyper analytical approach but they also seem to value “veteronisity”. I think they see value in Frazier. It is an extremely odd approach IMO.

Is that you Stevie?

He's in a slump because he's bored? Frankly, that is ridiculous.

He’s been shockingly good. So fun to see these pickups play well.

I apologize for misinterpreting your post. To me it sounded like you were making light of his IL reason because you used quotes but even more so because you said it was probably performance related because ESPN showed his stats when they reported the IL move. Again, it read to me like you were making light of his mental health. I responded because I thought you probably didn’t know about his kid’s health and some of Lopez’s challenges. I’ve reread your post and it does read as an innocent report. I’ll be more diligent.

You joked about his mental health. Read what you wrote.

Hey man I love to joke, but Lopez’s kid has had a ton of very serious health issues. You never know the hard stuff people are going through. I don’t think we should joke about his mental health. Not tying to be judgy, just little kid health stuff is a bummer.

I just want to say that the lack of recognition for this amazing joke has really hurt my feelings. And on the ultimate dad joke day too.

Hall has groan issues.

Oakland sucks and the stadium super sucks. I think it’s fine if the Philadelphia-Kansas City-Oakland Athletics move yet again.

It feels like they are desperate to help Hall and are throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks.

Bold prediction: Player who is not on the 40 man roster can’t be promoted to the majors. I jest, I jest.

World Series Victory. I’ve already warned my wife that we need to put WS tickets and travel in our fall budget.

He literally happened to be in the club house on the taxi squad. They didn't decide to IL Mountcastle until a few hours or even less before game time.

The Orioles may feel that Westburg is the better player too...and that's why they are not shuffling him back and forth to Norfolk and are not going to promote him until there are plenty of and steady at bats for Westburg. Just a hypothesis, but it could be correct.

And at least McCann is contributing defensively. I've been very impressed with his pitch framing, etc. He's a good catcher.

More info please.

Tate and Givens are starting rehab assignments this week, but I’m assuming it will take them a while to be ready to pitch at the ML level.
