A lot of our roster looks like skid row. 

I saw Skid Row. Opened for Aerosmith? Ted Nugent? Opened for someone...

Thing that concerns me with some of these guys is their at bats aren’t even competitive. Not like it’s some bad luck. Can’t even hit center cut fastballs. 

[scOtt]

Jesus! That scared me.

Guessing it wasn't Tori Amos who he opened for. 

Sebastian Bach has an incredible metal voice. Some of their harder stuff was really good. That's a heck of an opener for an even better band in Aerosmith.

Well to be fair, he’s has a lot of Bad BABIP Luck. His very first AB of the season was a wham that got ran down At the wall. He’s has several good whacks right at guys.

He has been a bit unlucky, but his 85.9 exit velocity is not good all. He's had some bad calls against him, but again, maybe he should try not getting behind 0-2 every at bat?

I honestly would believe some of them were caught off-guard by the meatballs.

No. Never saw Tori.

The 2020 Orioles: a baseball team or a group of friends fighting off ghosts with baseball bats?

Yeah. It’s everything with him. 

Had some bad luck early in year and now like you said is falling behind all the time and expanding zone. 

Sad thing is compared to Mullins, Stewart and a handful of others he looks like Mike Trout.

I love her cover of Eminem's 97' Bonnie & Clyde.

So here’s a question:

at 3-0 you KNOW the guy is going to give you a FB down the middle because he knows you’re going to take.

what better time to bunt for a hit? Send the runner,  and bunt. I hate sacrifices, but Mullins is fast and unless it’s a horrible bunt, he’d probably beat it out.

What, only really 3 poor starts out of 11 games?

I still think Hays is going to be a good players, he's just starting off in a bad funk. I don't think Mullins is a major league hitter and Stewart is 4th/5th outfield guy.
