Karns and Young are two completely different pitchers.

Thank you.

You don't think I figured that into my assessment?

Also, a guy whose fastball is 83 mph helps with bat-speed. 

His FB was 88...

He sure losing some money this year as well.  He may not get the big contract now.

He'll get paid but not as one of the games upper tier guys.

OF course Boras does sometimes work magic.

A guy with a top speed of 88 mph speeds up a bat.

Pitch like you've got a lead.

It will be interesting to see how much playing time Caleb gets when Castillo returns. Joseph and Pena are both providing some serious offense.

Fine, but let's late a measurable approach to your conclusion:

Mancini and Hardy reached base in 1/8 PA yesterday. They achieved 1 base out of a possible 32. 

 

Do you think Kim/Flaherty would have done the same, better, or worse at the plate vs Karns?

Do you think they would've cost the O's any bases in the field?

I think Young speeds up a bat. I don't think Caleb's bat got quick.

Unbelievable...he cant command his pitches..with a 5 run lead he gives up a lead off walk..

This is Gausman's problems in 2017 in a nutshell.

now a hit...what is wrong with this guy?

I think he has a physical issue.  Maybe his shoulder tendonitis is acting up again.

I think Palmer answered your question. But wow, what an unimpressive start to the inning. He's lucky that a ground ball will get him out of trouble. He'll be lucky to make it through 5.

The last 10 days of results disagree with you.

Also, you didn't answer my questions. You get an F on the pop quiz.

So...

Does Welington Castillo have options?

He has over 5 years of service.
