[O's84]

Can't waste opportunities with this weak line up.

It doesn't look like someone drawing from a top rated farm system.

It does not. Stowers slow start has hurt them for sure, but Elias has filled his 40-man roster with mid-20s AAAA guys. None of them have real upside and they've all pretty much shown why they were not well thought of. I mean, Nevin, McKenna, and Bannon are not exactly real prospects and none of them hit left-handed, something this team needs badly. Yet, has he tried to makes some moves to get some left-handed hitters? Heck, I'd take Dwight Smith Jr. and let him DH while Mancini plays 1B while Mouncastle is out, but we get AAAA guys.

Another DP.  Santander has gotten painfully slow.  

26.1 ft/sec.

Bemboom is surprisingly speedy (26.6).

Diaz is...brace yourself...hurt.

We’ll, that’s surprising.

Is this a contest to see which team can hit into the most double plays?

I was just talking about Dwight Smith Jr. the other day. He's not even playing baseball right now. Wouldn't mind him being on the team. It's familiar ground with him and he did pretty decent here in Baltimore.

I really thought the Orioles were finally starting to at least get somewhat close to turning the corner and now I'm witnessing this dumpster fire.

Odor has no bat speed anymore.

Apparently, yes.

If I never see McKenna on a major league field afain I'd be ok. Just a garbage at bat.

Every pitch on the outside half is either fouled off or missed.

Good to have McKenna back
