2 plays 2 runs .. 2 innings continued.. good player or not, he is out of position at the highest level

Growing pains

[Baltimorecuse]

Quit with the alibis already.  A ground ball is a ground ball.

[Gurgi]

We got to score some runs here.   

[Jammer7]

Henderson is going to be great. Odor’s value is glaring today.

Can’t expect a 21 year old to learn a new position in a couple of weeks. No matter how talented. 

[Fiver6565]

I’ll bet a dollar Gunnar isn’t in the lineup at all for game 2. 

[Emory Eagle]

8 hits to 2.  And one of the Os’ hits was a damp squib.  Pick it up.

[eddie83]

Call it fortunate or not. Baumann did his job today.

Does Urias make that play on Vlad? I don't think so. I think they both turn the DP 9 times out of 10 he just messed up the transfer, it happens

That's at least the fourth play Gunnar has been involved in like that though. He has no experience/feel for the position and it shows.

Ja'Wuan James compared switching from right tackle to left tackle like using the other hand to wipe. I think Gunnar has spent all of his time on the other side of the infield. If not SS, at least let him play third.

Everybody is coming down hard on Henderson. What about deciding to put him at second when his position is third? Can we end this experiment now where we try to make him a super util guy instead of letting him get comfortable at one spot?

Manny was 20 and learned 3rd on the fly.   The last one was a basic grounder it doesn’t matter where you play have to make that.

This. It's a different view off the bat, you move completely different... 

That being said that was as routine as it gets and he should've had that.
