Now, if you had seen Suzanne Somers, that’s a different story.

Stowers getting an RBI in his debut and Rutschman being the player who scored is the only good thing to happen in tonight’s game.

Pop Time Leaderboards are back up on Statcast.

Still waiting for a larger sample size, but Adley slots in tied for 8th of 71 catchers with an average pop time of 1.93. That is with a minimum set at 3 attempts which is how many throws Adley has made to second.

JT Realmuto is in a league of his own, but Adley is solidly in the next (top) tier of catchers by this metric and markedly ahead of the other two Orioles catchers this season, Bemboom at 1.99 and Chirinos at 2.04.

He even had a "modest two game hitting streak" in there!

Interesting list of possible destinations for Wilson Contreras of the Cubs.  What's eye opening is how terrible catchers have been hitting as a group league wide.  If Adley puts up a .700 OPS and gold glove defense, he will easily be a top 5 catcher.  For example, Grandal is putting up a .185/.294/.237 line and McCann is hitting .196/.266/.286.

Looks like there could be three catchers age 23 to 24 that might become the top 5 catchers. Keibert Ruiz only 17 k's and  16 walks Decent ,OBP but probably won't have the power of the other two. MJ Melendez who led all minor leaguers last year with 41 homers.Adley the other. All are on bad teams.

And Adley is back on the wagon with a one game hitting streak. Nothing annoyed me more than hearing Jim Hunter applaud a player for a 'three game' hitting streak.

The only thing better was when Chris Davis got a hit and Bordick said he was about to bust out of his slump (for the last 2+ years)

Adley is batting cleanup tonight. Brutal lineup.

I'd love to hear the justification for sitting Stowers...
