I'm sure they'd have visions of a half dozen WS titles.

That was my first thought and they'd assume La Russa was the greatest manager in MLB. But little do they know La Russa gets hired back well into retirement and he's drunk half of the time.

Bad call there on Nevin, but question…. Why call up Bannon who was hot at Norfolk only to continue playing Nevin who continues to flail away?

So disappointed that Mateo just can’t hit.

Hardest throw by an infielder this year and he's already had the highest EV of any ball hit by a Pirate.

 

He's like some crazy hybrid of Ozzie, Cal and A-Rod.

Fun game tonight

His dad was a ML player.

Haven't you been following the draft conversations?  That's evidently very important.

Agree 100%.

I'm wondering how much longer until Mateo isn't playing everyday even with his stellar defense.

If only we had prospects at AAA that can play SS.

Nice to see the bats starting to roll.

It’s gotta be some stat thing.

(I’m not against stats just too lazy tonight to try to determine what they’d be in this case)

[OriolesMagic83]

Fly balls are not what Mateo should be trying to hit.

I don't think his game is any where near as developed as any of those three.

I hope he gets there.

I'd honestly more compare him to some of the next level athletic freaks we see in the NBA.

Adley looks comfortable.  Think he’ll finish Year with OPS above  .500

Kremer looks good but still too many non-competitive pitches.
