I may be too busy at work to update the Oriole lineup when it comes out.

I'd do it but I'm leaving right now for my 2nd vaccine shot. Don't know if I'll be back before the first pitch.

Trevor Rogers  )was a 1st-round draft choice out of high school, in 2017. The Marlins gave him a $3.4 Million signing bonus. 

On the pitcher's mound, Rogers has recorded 23 Strikeouts in only 15 Innings Pitched so far this season. However, his Walk-rate is also very high ...... he has ceded 10 Free Passes overall (9 Walks and 1 Hit Batsman) in those 15 Innings.

 

In 7 out of their last 8 games, the Marlins' offense scored a total of 47 runs (an average of 6.7 runs per game) ...... the one exception was when they were shut out by a score of 1-0 by the Giants on Sunday.

Why Mountcastle instead of Stewart?  Mountcastle is a dreadful defender, and he’s been slumping to boot. Even if righty lefty is a consideration,  Stewart should still be playing.

Sometimes I wonder if Patrick is just making up some of these full names to see if anyone would notice.

But I don't believe he would do that.

1) vs a lefty

2) Stewart played last night, while Mountcastle had the night off.   Now 15 hours later it's the other way around.

Perfectly reasonable to me.   Mountcastle could -- potentially -- be the best pure hitter on the team.   You really want him to sit all the time between Sunday and Friday.

[Moose Milligan]

Way to work the count, Hays.

You'll have to excuse me in advance, fellas.  It's just been one of those days and I pretty much hate everyone at the moment.

Jazz Jr. leads off for the Marlins.

This should cheer you up.

Good job Zimmerman pitching out of the jam after the first two guys reached.

This always cheers me up!

The Marlins radio guys are awful.

Marlins starting pitcher is not.

I was gonna say. Parked the car just as the Marlins messed up the tag up on the deep fly. By the time I got in the house and turned on the TV they were in commercial. Good job Bruce!

I want to play the hot guys, not play the guys who might get hot.

Something like 13.8 K/9. Zimmerman better be on his game today. Big time.
