It was an 86 mph slider almost middle of plate. No idea what Johnson is talking about. 

Even Bordick would have critiqued that.

Didn't Zimmerman give up 10 hits in his last outing?

I think the O's may just have squeezed as many innings out of Zimmermann that they can squeeze

What does he bring to the party?

A lot more than Owings. Where's Urias tonight?

He is rated really highly as a catcher hitting and defensively. I think he hit the most homers in the minors last year. 

42nd rank on BA.

Melendez’s 41 home runs were the most in the minor leagues in 2021, and

Nevin subbed in for Urias right begot the game. I haven't heard any reason why.

He doesn’t hit enough to overcome his glove. He is AAA player.

Does he though?

If the Orioles keep playing like this then they'll be on their way to the worst record in baseball and long losing streaks. What out LA Angels!

And just think we get to go to Toronto after this playing short handed.. maybe 55-60 wins not so unreachable now.

The O's won't even get a top draft pick for being so bad.  Aren't we locked out of the top 6 picks next year if the O's have one of the worst records?

Ugh this game is just like the 2014 ALCS

Nope, not until the 2024 draft.

It’s a combo deal. Buy one get one.
