Welcome sight to see Adam and Chris hitting with contact and getting on base. Best offense in baseball when 1-9 are in reasonable form. Also Strop came in for Chicago and gave up 3 runs without recording an out. What a beautiful day it is!

You can't trust Strop. He is a great tricky arm. If you are not trying to win anything. He's got times where he is awesome. But you can't trust him. He's not like and O'Day or Brach.

I like Pedro. Hope he bounces back to his previous dominance.

I'm just bitter about Arrieta and Hammel. Can you imagine our rotation with those two pitching like they are right now? Never would've happened like this if they stay (i know), but good on them (including Strop). Just sucks to see the talent pan out elsewhere.

Strop was a cussword around here near the end of his tenure. Good to see he hasn't become Zach Britton out of the pen after going over to the Cubs like Arrieta did.

    • Agree with most everything thats been said, but he needs to get going because when Mateo comes back its either Norby or Stowers back to Norfolk. By the look on his face last night he even thought it was bad luck or execution on that bunt attempt.
    • Thanks for your clarification. Yes if Orioles lose Bradish for the  year , that would be a massive blow to team .  He would be difficult to replace . Nonetheless, Elias & staff  need  plan for trade for pitching reinforcements up to the deadline 
    • That would finish his contract at what 33 years old. Interesting.
    • Another big night, going 3 for 4 with a HR and a double. That brings the wRC+ up to a cool 165 since the beginning of May.
    • Today in his first plate appearance he walked. The line drive he hit in his second plate appearance had an XBA of .660 and the line drive he hit in his third plate appearance had an XBA of .790. I don’t know whether he’ll get out of the current slump, but that’s terrible luck. I still think Mullins can be a valuable player. He’s had an XBA over .500 on a few other balls in games he has played recently that have been caught. They are already limiting his playing time. While Cowser can play CF, the idea that Hays can play CF has no real basis. His already poor jumps have gotten worse this year. His sprint speed is down to 26.9 ft/s. I’m fact, Santander currently covers more feet in the outfield because of his superior jumps. I get that he hit 2 home runs yesterday, so some people are back in on Hays, but playing him in CF is a terrible idea.
    • Oh, no.Perhaps I wasn't clear. Suarez has been solid and an "adequate " starter. I was just saying he cant be the dominant , elite pitcher Bradish is, as good as Suarez has been. I think if we lose Bradish it's going to be a struggle to win against the best teams..But Suarez belongs in the rotation for as long as he pitches well, and he HAS pitched well.
    • Roy , are you saying that if Suarez continues to be “adequate “ , they should take him out of the rotation ? what does Suarez has to do with Bradish ?   Please elaborate
