I had thought Hell’s Bells was about trying to avoid your wife and family to watch O’s games. -

Westburg’s lack of lateral quickness has been pointed out there. Then again, everyone will look less quick when compared to Mateo. I think Mayo’s more of a 3B/1B with us. Position versatility. That’s not a knock on him at 3B, but that we like players in different positions to match up. Mayo is no different. -

Irvin’s next start is scheduled for @ Oakland. As of right now, we’d be scheduled to have the back half of the rotation for the Yankees series right before the break. I could see us tinkering with the rotation so that we have Burnes and Grayson at least going vs the Yankees. I could see us going with a 6 man rotation after the ASG. Especially if we were to make a trade for Scherzer. -

Thank you for your advocacy for Jackson on CF position. My reasons almost same as yours . Having said that , Jackson should also work on 2B . There’s too many players and limited positions , ABs have to be rationed as well. The upcoming deadline will likely reveal who’s staying and who’s leaving. In the meantime , they should let Jackson heal any injuries and refine his positional skills -

Unfortunately I’m not familiar with him or others on TV or radio. I don’t have MASN either . Have to click on highlights of games . -
I think the whole Bautista / Omar thing is more about inspiring a feeling, the ominous feeling you get when Omar is about to do his thing juxtaposed to Felix coming out of the pen to dominate the opposition. I think the metaphor breaks down when you take it too literally and start interpreting it the way you do and stretch it that much. Felix when he is on is a dominant closer. But he is not actually going to kill anybody. They played Hell's Bells when Trevor Hoffman came out of the pen, but [as far as I know] they didn't actually perform any ritual Satanic sacrifices or draw pentagrams in blood. -
It's a tough question because Irvin's recent performance has been horrible, so he is the starter most deserving of losing his spot. But Suarez, IMO, could be a really effective reliever, moreso than Irvin, and i would love to see him get the opportunity to prove that. There's an argument to be made either way.
