What did Kjerstad say to the ump?

I say again, we should play Stowers every day, against all pitchers. Lets see if he can hit. Now is the time. But it will cost Mullins and Hays some playing time. I think we already know what they can do.

Today we would have been shutout by good pitching. Until Stowers bopped a 3 run HR. 439 ft.

Any word on Stowers wrist injury?

He was the best fielding first baseman ever at catching the short hop throw. He won 3 Gold Gloves. He had a very smooth uppercut type swing that crushed the ball. He did not seem to swing as hard and fast as we see now days with most of our hitters. Heavier bat?

That one bad pitch was the very first pitch after talking with our pitching coach on the mound. What did he say?

Well how about that? Hyde finally got the idea to bat Gunnar 4th. I guess we wont be doing that again.

How many pitchers in their MLB first outing ever, went 100 pitches?

Povich is thinking we caught those balls down in the minors.

2 blooper hits in a row. WTF?

One bad pitch. What did the pitching coach say?

This^

Suarez has a very high pitch count. 43 pitches 2 innings.

Well they know to run on his arm every chance.

Lots of times Suarez really misses the box. Is he doing that on purpose?

Can't believe Stowers gets a start. This must be their best pitcher. Oh it is.

It would be nice to see what Stowers can do. So far he is hitting better than anyone for batting average. Let's keep him on the bench, right?

Can't wait to see what Norby does.

I must be getting senile because I remember Brady batting cleanup before.

Does anyone else remember the year Brady Anderson hit 50 HR, Davey Johnson started batting him 4th instead of leadoff.

6 leadoff homer's of course no one is on base. But the bottom of the lineup, everyone is struggling to bat above the Mendoza line except Mateo. Why not Westburg, Adley, then Gunnar?

Mateo is going through concussion protocol.

Let's Go O's.

Stowers has gotten a hit in every game he had an AB except one. And that game he went 0 for 1, May 18.

There's more to it than that. Every time Stowers gets a hit he is benched the next day.
