Tuesday, April 11: Gas Can T-Shirt Night, O's vs A's

[Alasdaire]

Trying to throw Mateo out at third with the new bases is a very risky proposition. An errant throw and you're handing the O's a run for the sake of a marginal shot at getting Jorge.

I don't want an Adley walk here.

Edit- BLAH!

Cmon Hays… make friggin contact this isn’t Cy Young.

That is elite patience by Adley! His plate discipline is incredible!

Why, is that something you don't need to do in the minors? 

He's just making some crappy pitches. He needs to make less of them. He seems to lose focus with two strikes like he has the batter out. He has to be able to finish and be able to miss just off the strike zone. 

He doesn't have the command to do that yet.

Because you will be able to put away minor league hitters with pitches that won't work on ML hitters.  You can probably afford to get a bit sloppy against minor league hitters up 0-2 or 1-2, most have probably already resigned themselves to failure that at bat.

That should buy him at least a couple of innings of grace from his detractors. 

[Goober Noodles]

That was a generous strike...

Santander has been so bad this year so far. Like a black hole in our lineup. Good thing he always hits third or fourth

Good thing we're only ten games into the season...

That’s exactly the amount of games I can comment on right now. 

[Mooreisbetter27]

Another 1-2 hit.

[SteveA]

This is getting absurd.

[Goober Noodles]

This is getting ridiculous.
