Why was he running?

Too bad we don't have a left fielder with more power to bat cleanup. Dwight Smith, Jr. must just be the best available option in the organization.
If only there was a guy in his mid 20s that could hit and plays leftfield stashed in Bowie

Or Akin for the love of God!

You could always get rid of the DH to shorten the games.

Just looked at the mlb.com Gameday preview. Says Snell isn't built up. Probably only go 3 or 4 inning. Which is good.
It’s what I was counting on

Hope tonight's game is more competitive than last night's.
Hess, Philips, Lakins. The back end of that pitching roster has many options to choose from.

Good grief

Also, the guidelines state that players can’t leave the dugout to fight/skirmish/whatever. Any discipline there, or nah?
I would hope anyone who leaves the dugout is suspended

I can’t agree. I watched that game live and watched all the pitches leading up to both the pitch to Bregman and the Correa strikeout. I’m not convinced that he was throwing at them. Kelly throws hard and is wild. He had plenty of opportunities to plunk an Astro if that was his intention.
The Astros have a target for cheating. Now if anyone comes inside they’ll get an equivalent to a 20+ game suspension?
I’m against using beanballs as revenge, it shouldn’t be part of the game. But I also don’t like umps and the discipline folks try to interpret intent. That’s when you get Gausman ejected for throwing a breaking ball.
I love that he gave them crap, but Kelly was all over the place. Did the guys that throw at Machado on purpose get 8 games?

They would have the extra year today, see Pearson, Nate.
I’m trying not to think about Nate Pearson

As a Wojo apologist, I think he'll be average. Tonight, I can see 3 or 4 clean innings and then the proverbial "wheels fall off" inning in the fourth or fifth.
I’m with you, he doesn’t totally suck but he would be making regular appearances on a good team.

I would activate Means and wait the couple of days to get the extra year on Mountcastle.

Davis not in the lineup. Smith at DH, Nunez at first.
Would rather see Davis than Smith, to be honest. Davis will have plenty of opportunities to be out of the lineup when Mountcastle is up.
I would rather two better players were on the roster

No Carter Baumler?
I assume he wasn't officially signed until a few days ago and that is why he isn't on the list.

I believe Elias has said that Lowther and Zimmerman are going to be added sometime too.

Just saw this from Roch.

For reference, here is fangraphs: https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board/2020-in-season-prospect-list/summary?sort=-1,1&type=0&team=bal&pg=0&filter=&pos=
The top 5 guys on this list would have been #1 on their O's list two years ago!

So the Yanks win 12-6?
No, because then the Orioles get to the soft underbelly of the Yankees which is...
Oh, wait.

Cole was announced.
So was Happ. So I assume Wojo on Wed, But will it be Cobb then Means or Means then Cobb?

Second inning at 1B. Not bad.
