Despite what Buck and Dan might like to say Kim has done better against fastballs this season.

Even the ones with premium velocity.

Schoop's the man against junk.

Pearce has actually been very good against fastballs this season, even better than Kim. So I don't have a problem letting him hit. But there's no excuse for not pinch-hitting Kim for Wieters in that situation. None.

The Orioles got what they needed, 2 of 3 with Bundy and Gausman pulling through. Did not have high expectations for this game.

Pineda sporting a near 6 era, I thought our offense would do some damage. I was wrong, offense looks bad the past two games and now we're on the road where they're even worse.

True, but part of it is that Buck is a Pearce guy. I don't have a problem with that, but Pearce killed us today.

I'll give Pearce a break cause he single handedly won us the 3rd game of the last series vs Yankees.

      Mayo coming back from injury could have his debut in Baltimore delayed.

      Wasn't a huge fan of his swing for that last out today but coming in to pinch hit with 2 outs isn't easy.

      Interpreting Malike's comment that way is theoretically possible, but I didn't take it that way--didn't feel that shade was being thrown on me at all. But thanks for the concern.

      People are being a bit ridiculous with the holier than thou takes criticizing a little humor. I am not saying what happened couldn’t cause a significant concussion, but it would be a bit of a fluke if it did. Mullins barely hit him with the bat and he had a helmet on. The fact that it was in the back of the head did make him more vulnerable, but this wasn’t the type of thing you see and think he was lucky to be alive.  Guys have probably hit their heads harder on the top of the dugout or on the fence making catches.  And note this comes from someone whose son has suffered severe concussions and who is well aware of the dangers associated with them. In short, people need to lighten up a bit on guys like Roy.  It was a little gallows humor.

      Yeah, you read that wrong. LA2 is one of my favorite posters here and he knows it. No harm, no foul. If you aren't familiar with the game threads, it doesn't matter what the team is doing, people complain about it and people did make that same joke in the game thread long before Roy said it here. Game thread in summary - when the O's are not doing well, it's insufferable, when they are doing well, it's mildly less insufferable. There, that wasn't hard. I'd appreciate it if you didn't assume I'm throwing shade at people. I'll leave that up to you to do, you're really good at it.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      Wasn't Westburg a 2nd round draft pick?  It's a little early to judge last year's draft.
