Watch what you say about Mountcastle. He's one of the future offensive stars we're going to build a contending team around, even if we can't identify a defensive position he can play.

Or he can't identify a pitch...

Garceau calling Scott’s slider a “slide piece”. Huh?

Bordick used to do that.  I didn't like it then either.

pinch runner for DJ?

While I hear you... I do think he'll be fine at 1B and he will hit.  He just has to stop chasing so much garbage.

I can see why Buck wanted him to work on pitch selection. .243 OBP is just pathetic.

5 walks and 45 strikeouts for Mountcastle. (I don't think the 45 includes 3 tonight, but I'm not sure.)

Fair point but Plutko was good. Why pull him? No need.

I don’t know if he was good he walked first guy.  Then the next guy hit into a double play with a 110mph exit velocity.  That ball is couple feet down line it is a double and you have second and third.  He got a bit lucky too.  I would have took my chances with Sulsar over Lakins but like I said both are middle inning low leverage type guys and not late inning guys.  Hopefully Scott’s outing is sign he has fixed the walk part as he has late inning stuff.

Back to all the knocks he had against him coming up.

[scOtt]

Have we had a true walkoff since 2019?

That's the up-to-date and ugly K to BB ratio for Mountcastle.

Just tuning in. Is Chapman injured? Go O's--let's walk it off!

[HowAboutThat]

I’d like Franco to go away, please
