Not a fan of the concept of a guy being too good to be in the majors.

He's just too promising to be on the ML roster.

O’Hearn is rotting on the bench. In winter people were worried he would play too much.  
 

Sure. You can phrase it that way. Promise. 

[eddie83]

Good take. Nothing to hit there. 

[Tony-OH]

Sayin' that, Mountcastle doesn't have much of a chance against this guy. Not the kind of guy he hits.

[eddie83]

I’ll take a single. 

[Tony-OH]

And a garbage swing on a garbage pitch by Mountcastle to end it. Fitting.

[Winter]

unlucky 

[eddie83]

Well. Hope we get second game.

Ok, Hays sets up the Mountcastle Weaver Special #2!

Not....

[Tony-OH]

Mountcastle can't be batting in the middle of the order. That lineup generator Sig has sucks!

[Gurgi]

Mountcastle.......we hardly knew ye.  

[baltfan]

Nice job Mountcastle.  There was at least one strike.

The Orioles have a relief corps and an offense that will enable them to stay in, and win, games where they fall behind. But it's hard to make it work when the starters are giving up early runs game after game.

All this was predictable. This is the starting pitching Elias (maybe with contraints imposed by ownership) put togeher, based on his assessment that to add better starters would be too expensive, whatever that means. The rotation is not strong, and it's not deep. I still am doubtful, despite the great record so far, that it can get a team to the post-season.

 

 

And it's worse actually than Elias probably predicted, if one looks at how poorly Irvin and Kremer have pitched and the Grayson mystery.

Is this what Mountcastle is?  A high strike out guy who cant pick a ball in the dirt?  He surely isnt Don Mattingly at all.

Who the heck ever suggested he was?

Yeah, what type of approach was that?
