He may or may not be, but he's at worst our 2nd best hitter. Having a down year for sure, but definitely our most proven offensive weapon. 1 game out dude. 1 freakin game and we traded him.

Maybe he doesn't have as much confidence in Chirinos. A finesse pitcher needs to have confidence that his catcher can get the close calls.

LMAO. Can't argue with that point.

Well we traded our best hitter who has now caught fire on his new team. And did this while in intense competition for a playoff spot. Only we would do that. Hey guys we are 1 game out. Ok, let's trade our best hitter.

Spenser Watkins is a finesse pitcher. He doesn't have the world's most electric stuff. He's a nibbler. He is the type of pitcher who relies on an elite defensive catcher to frame pitches and call a game. If you're a guy like Felix Bautista having the world's best catcher doesn't mean that much. Just aim for the plate and blow em away. I know it's a day game and we don't want to burn him out. But part of me wonders how that meltdown inning would have went if Adley was behind the plate.

Man I don't care if you put Jesus at Shortstop. I cannot accept .266OBP

Thing about Mateo is he's an athlete. Not really a ballplayer. A .266OBP from an everyday player. I refuse to accept that. I just cannot accept that in my lineup every day. I cannot do it.

I hate stolen base attempts. I like fat guys who get on base.

Probably the most frustrating inning of the year for me. Nobody really made any bad plays or bad pitches. It's just that nobody could make any great pitches or great plays. We needed an MLB play. Didn't get it.

I am having so much fun following the O's right now. We are kicking so much ass!!!

It's just the beginning. Look at this team dude. We are loaded with talent right now.

Same. I am having so much fun watching the Orioles. I cannot watch all the games, usually catch a few innings of night games because I have to go to sleep since I work 1st shift. But I watch all the day games. I can't stop thinking about the O's now.

I'm happy. I like the team. I love our fans. I hate the Yankees. I want to gather with other people who love the Orioles. We are winning. We are starting to kick ass.

Because I've been here for a few months and he's an unbelievably detached and passive aggressive poster. He seems so completely miserable. Always.

I disagree.
