We pitch Britton off a DL stint losing a game when we are 16-8 and have no need to rush him. Then why don't use O'Day for 7 days with an already short pen. Brilliant. 

Starting to really question whether the front office is on the right wavelength.

5.33 runs/game is good.

Or is that them scoring 16 runs?

They've averaged 3.06/gm. What do you think?

Can only go 5 days back I think. 

He was up wasn't he?

I hope I was joking.

For him to sit on the bench this long and still go on the DL....

Jim Hunter. Whitt Merrifield is a specialist at working long AB's. Merrifield has a 3.76 PPA.

It is always an uphill battle when your starter stinks.

It was an even bigger uphill battle for the Royals today than it was for the Orioles, who were down by a score of 5-0 when their starter left the game.

Bad defenders have to play deeper so they don't get burned over their heads so they can't get to bloops.

Hard on the pitching when you have three sub-par defenders out there in a ballpark that big.

We just miss them is my point. Just off the edge of the glove. 

We aren't built for that park, that is for sure.

Trumbo appears to have been a one-season (more like a half-season) mirage. Cruz wasn't a mirage.

He wasn't, but odds were good he was going to be.

I am much more annoyed with the Trumbo signing than the Cruz non-signing.

Yup - the Orioles are definitely built more for Camden Yards and less for Kauffman Stadium.

I know.

Was he up or not? Thought Hunter said he was.  I just don't get giving him at least one batter there.

We pitched fine on Friday.

I honestly don't know.  I didn't hear it.

This guy should be an easy out.

Whit is not a good baseball name.

Remember Fred Whitfield?
