Sunday June 5: Rubber match vs Guardians as Dean Kremer comes off IL to start

[Yossarian]

Vespi gets a rare swing and miss out of Kwan.  He had like 40 straight swings without missing a ball.

Let's see if Country Boy fires up this sleepy offense.

I see Stowers has homered twice today.  So there's that, for whatever it means.  He seems to be heading up. 

It means the O's will have a replacement when Mancini or Santander are traded.

The pessimist in me sees some of our best hitters in Triple A are guys like Stewart, Gutierrez and the like and we all know how well they hit in the bigs.

Tate in the pen.

O's are just expanding the zone a lot. A 3-1 count and Odor jumps all over ball four.

I really hope for Rutschman's sake and this team's sake that Adley starts hitting the ball soon.

Fortunately recovers to draw the walk.

We need a hit now.

Mullins looks lost at the plate.

Seems to be a recurring theme with the O's lineup.

Norfolk is just full of AAAA guys.  I would hope that Stowers is going to be a notch up from them.  It seems like some of the AAAA/utility types will have to be released/traded soon.  Should be getting some real prospects there soon (Henderson, Westburg, etc).

Cedric "Pop up" Mullins

Story of the day: guys taking huge rips at pitcher's pitches.
