Monday June 28: Orioles at Astros Are we losing yet?

[SteveA]

Darn, Greinke tossed some 68 MPH slop for the first pitch to McKenna, and McKenna was all over it but hit a smash right at the 3Bman.

OK, who wanted to send him down to Norfolk?

He started off awful.  Last I looked he was still below replacement level.

Trying to think OTTOMH.  Is that guy Walsh for Anaheim a rookie?  Casey Mize.  Haven't checked Arozarena's numbers lately.   Those are the names that come to mind but I'm sure I'm forgetting someone.

Gotta figure Vlad or Shohei gets that one.

Sulser polishes off the fifth!

[Gurgi]

After the walking in a run Sulser looked good that inning.

Wander.

Good to see Sulser does better this inning after not being able to throw strikes to the first couple of batters.

Maybe enough voters will look at home runs, rbi's and batting average over WAR and other advanced metrics.

He could certainly put himself on the list but I was talking about actual achievement so far as opposed to potential.
