2 balls clearly on the corner that the umpire missed in 1 AB.

[Philip]

I am at least pleased that the radio guys are complaining about sloppy play by the leftfielder. I was surprised to find that it is not Smith, but someone equally competent(Which can be taken both ways….) When you have a really bad pitcher you really need to have a good defense. On the other hand, it doesn’t really matter.

[Yossarian]

Something tells me Brooks isn't in the long-term roster/rotation plans in this Orioles re-build.

[Can_of_corn]

Looks like they aren't giving up on the #1 pick without a fight.

[Yossarian]

So where do you think Mancini's batting average ends up at the end of the year?  Will he continue to trend down to the .265 - .270 range?  Or back up to the .290's?

It's good to see some fight in the club and they're not just rolling over and conceding that pick.

[Yossarian]

Will Crush Davis get to that 10 home run plateau this year?  The juiced ball may just help him get there.

Smith is IL'd. It doesn't matter at all. And Brooks is not a great pitcher. Means says he will be back next week healthy.

Sure, he's a .270 guy. And that's pretty good for a powah hitter.

He is not even really in the short plans. He is what they have tonight.

He's been exceeding my expectations this year, so at this point I'm going to accept defeat and quit trying to project him (for this year at least).

Also, Peterson isn't really an outfielder is he? He is one of those Lichtenstein Army guys. Right?
