Joey Ortiz with a homer tonight…sporting a 900 OPS. That would look good at 2nd.

This guy needs to have excellent baseball instincts with his skill set.

Awful way to lose. Pathetic.

Maybe bring in kimbrell to lock it down in the 8th and 9th.

Why did Hyde pull Cano?

These pitches to Mullins are right down broadway!

Did anyone think Cowser was going to OPS 1100 this year? He still has the highest OPS on the team.

This team looks finished again. Things are going south in a hurry.

Another good offensive showing for the Shorebirds today.

If there was a high % that Mayo would come up and crush it at the plate, I’d be all for it. However, the vast majority of really good prospects typically struggle for the first 1-2 months after their first call-up.

I think you have to get an elite guy unless we have an injury. When Grayson comes back, assuming the health of everyone (big if), you have kimbrell, cano, coulombe, akin, Webb, Suarez, and Irvin in the pen. If we are going to upgrade the bullpen, I would want a clear upgrade.

Not impressed with the hit tool so far. Hopefully he can start driving the ball more.

A second ago everyone was saying that Ellis didn’t upgrade the rotation enough and now some are saying there is no place for Grayson when he returns. So which is it?

4IP 1H 1BB 7Ks

His combined war is more than any reliever on the team. He has a FIP of 1.02.

Akin has been the best and most valuable reliever on the team thus far this year and it’s not particularly close.

Chace and Nunez were sharp again today.

Many pitchers have started out well so far this year in the system and Aberdeen has Creed, Etzel, and Vasquez all starting out hot. I would say Delmarva is our only affiliate where the position players are not performing.

Big game Baumann!!

I don’t understand why he didn’t come out after the first mound visit for an injury. Dumbfounding.

This ump has big $ on the A’s.

If you aren’t pinch hitting Heston there, then please send him back to Norfolk.

A’s don’t overuse their closer like Hyde

Hyde likes the win rule

These umps are so awful. It’s getting ridiculous.
