I know Tate hasn't been great but he can get 3 outs without the threat of 5 runs coming across, right?

Hollidya needs to do a case study on the adjustments Bregman made when he came up. I feel like their initial struggles are similar, even if it's LH vs RH

Damn. Like that he made good contact on a two strike pitch at least.

Oh nice catch, didnt know that. So then, a definitive stroke of gemious.

We're going to look back and it was a stroke of genius to have Kjerstad on the team for the playoff push (and not Cowser) and allows another year of control for Cowser. Well unless he gets ROY or 2nd I guess then it's a moot point lol.

I guess you just have to ride it out with Holliday but man its tough.

Cowser might be my favorite young Oriole. And that's a tough thing to say given all the studs we got now.

They have really F'd us with these reviews. They have been close sure but I think more than reasonable to overturn. There's been what like 4 of these in the past week?

I said Gunnar, but I also think a Burnes extension is basically a dead end road.

I think he stays in to start until Wells/Means are back and will replace whoever is stinking in the pen if necessary at that point.

We lead the AL in slugging, which tells me we are probably getting pitches to hit (and we are hitting them).

Varland has challenged Gunnar and Adley in the zone.

Funny we were just talking about Mullins speed lol

Wish Holliday could get the first hit out of the way if he's going to be sent back down.

Completely out of sorts this series. Bizzare.

We are 6-0 in Burnes/GRod starts and 2-5 in all others.

I may be overly bullish with what I said, but what I meant was I think our lineup will be elite to the point a "defense/speed only" CF is probably OK if it came to it.

Even if Bradfield only reaches his "floor" that may be a 3 WAR player on defense and base stealing alone. He needs to float a OBP of like 320 at least.

By the end of the year I doubt Gunnar is leading off.

Use this site, I just had to figure this out myself. I had to convert my photo, so you may need to use cloudconvert too. Actually, this type of thing would be a good pin topic. My steps were to email the photo to myself, convert the photo to the appropriate file type (JPG?), and then create the URL in the IM.GE site.

If Mullins is breaking down, it'd be a relief if Cowser can be a bridge CF to (likely) Bradfield in a couple years.

If I could figure out how to post a picture from my phone on here, Hays had quite the interesting reaction int he dugout to Cowser's second HR last night.

For the first time I can remember of this new era, I have confidence 1-9 will have competitive at bats. Not everyone is hitting great now obviously, but good/great hitters can still be productive in "slumps".

So we gained zero extra years and likely no effect on the ROY race, and could have easily gained an extra win if he is playing form the start and not Kemp/Urias?
