Saturday Afternoon May 20: Orioles at Blue Jays

[O's84]

I'm ready for Ortiz at this point.

[Mr-splash]

I've tried to be patient, but I'm finally getting to the point where I may start supporting benching Mateo. 

[Dunk35]

Atta boy Mateo! At least you put it in play. 
 

ELIAS!! Get some offense in here, please!!

Mateo 2 for his last 42.

That bad?  Holy cow that is a horrible horrible slump.

Mateo continues to struggle big time

If Mateo really is a .220-.230ish hitter then he can't be playing everyday with the amount of infield talent in the Orioles system.

Baker have any options?  I could see sending him down for a bit. 

Baker needs some help from Givens or Tate or some other RHed reliever that Hyde trusts -- not a stint at AAA.

Things that don’t make sense.  Vavra who is not that productive a hitter and a worse outfielder playing in the OF with better players available.  Weird.

Agreed, he has been driven into the turf.

[Il BuonO]

I’m thinking being compared to The Kid might be a good thing.

[Mooreisbetter27]

Who wants Urias up here? Lol

Givens has to be close to ready, I don't know why he wasn't activated for this series.

Help us Adley-Wan Kenobi, you are our only hope.

Yeah it’s pretty tired hearing how Cowser needs more AAA at bats. 

I don’t think Vavra is necessarily an offensive black hole but he’s no outfielder.

I can’t see them keeping Irvin much longer. Some RHP will be back by NYY series. Hope Givens is healthy..
