The Silver Lining Report: Game 33/162 (O's lose 7-0)

[interloper]

• Yefry Ramirez: The sole reliever used after Strailey's early exit. He saves the bullpen by going 4.2 IP with 5 Ks. So much for my idea about optioning Yefry for Williams. It seems the team will need more than one long reliever for the foreseeable future.
   
• Dwight Smith Jr.: On a night where the O's only got 5 hits, he notched 2 of them, a bloop and an infield single, bringing his average up to .299 in the process. 
   
• Errors: 0 - much tighter defense than recent games.
   
• Stevie Wilkerson: Actually had a really nice throw to the plate from CF and just barely missed getting the outfield assist. 

That's, uh... that's it!

Davis - 0 K's (whilst ten other O's whiffed) and average remains above the "Davis Line".  

Question:  Can a golden sombrero be an indicator of injury and we get to see a true OF up here for a bit?  

Oops - he says , "No!" emphatically but he did that last year with the knee .....

 "Trey Mancini struck out in all four at-bats last night and is 0-for-8 with seven strikeouts since being hit on his right index finger in the first inning of Saturday’s game in Minnesota.

It was the first four-strikeout game of Mancini’s career. Three of them came against Tyler Glasnow.

“He was absolutely disgusting,” Mancini said. “You have to tip your cap. It’s frustrating. Dude threw a good game. He did a great job executing his pitches. It’s tough. His breaking ball, especially, looks like his fastball to the hands, so you try not to give up on it, but he spotted it well and he was really good out there.”

What about the finger?

“Totally fine,” he said. “It has nothing to do with the finger. Just bad timing for the first golden sombrero. Is that what it’s called? Yeah, just not good timing, but I’m physically fine.”
