Tuesday, September 28: Bruce Zimmermann returns as Orioles try to play spoiler vs Chris Sale

Coming into today's game, Gutierrez was hitting .260 / .316 / .370 / .686 in September, which is a lot better than his season stats. But even if he were to hit that across an entire season it wouldn't be enough for a third baseman. Andino had similar stats in 2011 (.263 / .327 / .344 .670) and I remember it not feeling it was close to being enough, even for a decent defensive second baseman who made cool videos with Adam Jones. Glad we eventually found Schoop, glad that Buck kept his faith in him.

When I lived in Miami, I used to go to Duffy's Tavern on Red Road and they would gladly switch one of the TVs to MASN so I cd watch the Orioles. If it was for dinner, they'd set me up at the table that was right in front of the TV tuned to MASN. Miss those days. Haven't found any place that would do that in New York or PA, unless, of course, the local team is playing against the Os.

    • Westburg shouldn’t be, where are you seeing that?
    • So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?  
    • There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time 
    • Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story. 
    • Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy. 
    • What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!
    • What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.
