Rutchy made that look easy and it wasn’t an easy play.

He has some potential.

He's old, can't throw, will be lucky to OPS 500.

This lineup could be very special by 2024. 

And largely homegrown. 

It’s legit something I’ve been waiting for for like 20 years.

Why does Hyde give rest to some of our best hitters when yesterday was an off day?  They had enough rest.

[RVAOsFan]

Runner on second no outs. Any guesses?

The description of Rutschman being the best defensive catcher prospect (never mind his hitting) to come up since Ivan Rodriguez is not an exaggeration.

Good.

Would you rather keep facing him or fresh arms out of the pen?  (Yes I know they don't have a good pen...still rather keep facing this guy)

It was a statement of amazement and basic analysis.  I mean if we were actually were cashing in those runners, his pitch count would be higher and we'd be winning.  It's more of a dig at the O's RISP futility tonight.

Speaking of music, I may have just found something.

Who’s off besides Hays, who’s hurt?

If you're talking about Hays, he's injured.

Love a Tiger 2-iron reference.

Elias shoulda drafted Bobby Witt Jr.!

Gotcha.

I think some folks obsess a bit much over pitch counts.

Geez this is heavy.

Takes three pitches to do that?  Mountcastle is irritating z.
