Devil’s advocate: Mullins is sitting due to an injury and Hyde wanted to give him an extra day of rest, or some type of illness and they are playing in the heat.

Santander plays with a bum ankle. I think THATS stupid, too. But it makes less than no sense to sit your best player without cause and play one of your best players when he’s hobbling.

Meanwhile a moment to admire Shohei Ohtani. Hats off.

how many California kids born in the next six months are going to be named Shohei?

It's often said that good hitting is contagious. If that's the case, the Orioles have managed to create a sterile environment, kind of like a cleanroom for offense.

I read that first line and was expecting a comment about how the Orioles' pitching staff is patient zero for opposing lineups.

Leyba vaguely reminds me of Vladdy Jr with the mop top and the extra pounds.  Perhaps if he lost some weight he would perform better and earn your praise?

If that happens we can revisit. Till then, I fail to see what value he has that the farm fellas do not.

Meanwhile it is curious that Hyde pulled Eshelman after 4/54, but insists on leaving Lopez/Akin/Harvey in til they’ve thrown their arms off.

Fair enough!

Did Mullins make the All Star team, or was it Valaika as a super sub?

[HowAboutThat]

Well, Mullins made it, Means was snubbed.

I guess throwing a no-hitter doesn’t mean that much anymore.

edit:

Why was that down voted? I am shocked that means didn’t make it, I wasn’t applauding the decision.

We've had seven full on no hitters this season.  Seven.

Do you think all seven belong in the All Star game?

Means has 71 IP this year.

Damn it.

Great play.

Stewart wouldn't have had it.
