Is that the over/under?

[Tx Oriole]

He's made some pretty athletic plays in the field this season. It might have started as the lingering effects of an injury, but I think it's a combination of mechanical and mental issues at this point.

It could be. Maybe he gets down on himself when he strikes out or maybe he is

trying too hard. I sure wish he could work himself out of this funk he is in. sooner

the better.

Zach's career numbers.

I say we give him a shot!

He can play first for 8 then come in and pitch.

He has to feel the weight of the world on his shoulders right now. In 2012, when he replaced Markakis in RF, there were no expectations of him. This is different. He knows how much his performance is hurting the team.

As Lily Tomlin asked, "Why doesn't anyone ever try softer?" Seems like now would be a good time for that.

I'm sure his arm extends an extra foot or so.

Also, he's such a great, natural fielder.

OK then, I don't want Manny to feel like he lost his job due to injury.

How many of us thought that when he hit three in one game against the Pirates in May?

I think it with every base hit that he gets!

I was in right field that day in Pittsburgh watching them fly over me. I certainly did.
