Sunday afternoon in Fenway Park

[LA2]

Lost opp. Was it at least well struck? Good pitch to go after?

[Yossarian]

Mountcastle really struggling.  Chance to get back in this game pooped away.

[Yossarian]

Zimmermann looks off today, too.

They ought to get RMC a medicine ball pronto.

If one day, RM learns plate discipline and improves his pitch recognition a little, he really could be an amazing hitter.

I would guess the org has a Ruthian incorrigible label on him, but will be content to let him be who he is and provide one bit of lineup diversification to the standard issue Cowserian robots who are coming to rule over all AL pitchers.

Kremer struck out 6 across 3 innings on 5/25 in AAA.

I agree he hasn’t been looking good. That was a good swing, nice approach. 102 mph to RF. Didn’t try to pull. Hit hard. It happens. And yes, he needs to get going.

Or is he just not good?

Everything up and in the middle of the plate from Zimmerman.  He doesn't look good.

I haven't really opened my mind to the possibility that Orioles player development is doing any Mullins-adjacent things here.

He's making a run at Dave Johnson for Baltimore legend stuff though.

People that want to go to a 6 man rotation.  Name the other starters other than Lyles and GrayRod (when promoted).

He has been very good this year.  Just not today

I don't recall a lot of people clamoring for this.  At least not recently.

Tipping pitches? A lot of very hard hits.

Good point. Looks like it doesn’t it?
