I believe Tony has mentioned that several times.

If you've been on the OH for more than a year, Stowers hitting lefties has been discussed ad nauseum.

1 For 3 with a double

I feel every time he has a minor slump people will say he’s regressing. Dudes hitting .311 still lol

[Spy Fox]

I don’t care if McKenna homered and if the O’s have a crystal ball telling them Stowers will suck against lefties forever, replacing Stowers with McKenna is STUPID while Santander is patrolling RF with a one run lead. 

Maybe Hays can defensive sub for Santander after his next at bat. Even so, pinch hitting was not the important place to deploy McKenna in this game.

Well ideally the prospects would go towards an ace.

How is he not an improvement?  Because of his high ERA in a small sample this year?  His xFIP is 3.66.  I guess it’s possible that he’s toast at 36 but like I said the peripherals look good.

It's very possible. And yes I would prefer an ace type pitcher be acquired. It's what we don't have now and what we will need in October.

I did not realize McKenna was batting .314 lol 

[Dunk35]

Mckenna has been mashing lefties. 
 

Urias didnt get a pitch in the zone and strikes out

I don't know... I've seen a lot of ugly overmatched swings lately. Hope I'm wrong. 

[FlaO'sFan]

A big hit by Adley here would be glorious.

[Moshagge3]

Nice piece of hitting by Mullins. Time for Adley to something.

It's so fun watching this team.  Let's get some runs here.

As he's cooling off, other dudes like Santander are heating up... sounds like baseball to me. It's a long season guys will have hot and cold spells.

Nice seeing Mullins making contact against lefties.
