Or maybe, now that we're contenders, we can flip Hall for him at the deadline to improve our offense for the stretch run.

HR derby tonight 

[Just Regular]

HR yielded 3 on strike 39 out of 54 on the night.    

Catchers setting up in the middle; definitely feel like the Step 1 for Orioles pitching this year is dial the setting to Yield HR, not Walks.

When are the O's going to enter the derby?

[Beysbol]

He's pitching pretty decent, but has obviously thrown some really bad balls.

When we trade for Gallo 

[Beysbol]

That's next on the list for the Orioles? Getting some decent starters?

Why would we need him?

If the O's have traded Hays or Mullins, someone like him might be needed.  I hope the O's keep them, but if the price is right, I expect Elias to move one.

We all loved the way the lineups were looking with Rutschman as catcher, but so far the lineup with Adley as C has produced 2 runs and 8 hits in 16 innings.

[Beysbol]

I'm definitely up for trading Mullins. Why haven't they yet?

Yeah, the hitting hasn't been great. Guys that are supposed to be hitting just can't do it.

[Beysbol]

Man, their t-shirts are always so bland...Lol

Yeah, but aren't they 3-0 since he's been up? 

 

Edit: nevermind lol

Mostly joking around, but I'd bet you that at 1-year, $10mm the Orioles would far rather have Gallo than Mancini next year if they could.

I don't think Gallo's fallen that far down the pecking order yet, but his first foray into free agency is looking more like pillow contract than the payday of all paydays.
