Wednesday April 12: Orioles attempt to win series from Oakland

[Just Regular]

McKenna ought not hit here - seems like right spot for offense for defense substitution.

So this catcher they have, Perez, is a recent Oriole minor leaguer?

I have no recollection of him.

The Orioles have no chance to compete this year if Gunnar isnt going to be a star.  We dont lose anything by playing him.  I say keep him here till the end of May at the earliest.  If he isnt hitting .200 with some pop at June first then we have a major problem and some serious reevaluation may be in store.   

Even with a .121 BA, his OBP is .326. It literally can't get worse than this, and he's still deserving of a roster spot based on his ability to get on alone.

Wow Oakland must really not want to go to the pen.. 107 pitches from a dude w a 14+ ERA

Let's get offense going boys

Just realized I got this email right at game time. Thought I'd pass it along.

I saw Odor hit today in 8th inning. K’d as tying run at plate.

There we go!

[Gurgi]

Well that was unexpected but very much appreciated.   

[Moose Milligan]

Nice!

FWIW Hyde said Santander isn't in the lineup today because of a sore back.

Thanks. Still need a better option than Frazier.
