Because of Sig and his wonderous analytics team if I had to guess. 

Someone -- I think it was Hyde -- said other teams are having the catcher set up that way. Not sure you can blame our pitchers'' lack of command on that. Most of these guys are pitching for the Orioles because they couldn't make it somewhere else, and lack of command or inconsistent command, regardless of how the catcher sets up, is probably a part of that failure for many of them. They may have a few good innings, or games or even weeks, but it's not going to last until they become better pitchers. Many of them won't ever get there.

And with that, here's Lakins.

Watching the Orioles play baseball in New York against the Yankees is about as much fun as sandpapering your body then jumping in a bath of rubbing alcohol.

Grant it, it usually is not much more fun against anyone else since they've decided that winning baseball games is not something they're really into any more.

Nothing worse then it not even being May and you already know you team stinks once again.

I go with hydrogen peroxide cause I like the bubbles.

His new nickname is Travis "White Flag" Lakins

Sounds like some Davey Johnson stuff.

Oh yeah, I'm well aware that many of the players on the roster wouldn't be in MLB right now if wasn't for the Orioles. That said the bullpen has been way better then I expected this season.  And for our pitching staff it's hard to expect them to shutdown the Yankees hitters in this bandbox.

High enough not to feel the pain of this team trying to compete in the AL East.

Remember, Sig's computer think Odor and Lakins are major league baseball players. Gutierrez too. 

Maybe it's time to see what he can do in Rocket scientry again.

I think Odor was all about a veteran LH bat they could get for the league minimum.

If you get to going to the World Series high for more than a few minutes, you probably should seek outside help.  

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

So maybe Lakins sticks around a little longer now with tonight's performance?

This is where having Harvey around would be helpful.

Allowing two runners per inning is not good.
