4 singles and a HR.

CD not even Warning Track power. Medium deep power...

I don't think Villar at SS is realistic, I think they would rather have a legitimate defensive shortstop with as bad as the pitching staff will be. Whether that is Richie Martin or someone else remains to be seen.

Iglesias is on the market again, albeit at increased rates next season.

One of my FAVORITE chefs!

Those look good. If I ate one of those I’d be making a lot of old man noises.

I think the recent improvement in Martin's hitting makes it more likely that the Orioles use him for most or all of 2020 as the full-time SS at Norfolk next year to see whether he has the potential to become a ML hitter, and to work on his consistency on defense. (It would be great to see J.J. Hardy put his luthier career on hold for a little while to work with these infielders in ST next year.)

Meanwhile, get a slick-fielding/no-hit guy to hold down SS next year, with Villar seeing some time there if he returns.

Givens looking strong! Someone wolf-whistled at the last pitch.

I'm starting to think we just might win this one.

[O's84]

Winning the last 2 games of the series for a 4 game split.  Against the Rays, not too shabby.
