Wednesday, May 31: Homestand and the month of May end with rubber match vs Guardians

Elias needs to make some serious changes to this BP on the off day to send a message. Some of these guys didn't even look like they were trying to execute today. That last Baumann HR wasn't even remotely competitive

Gunnar is our first baserunner of the game before there are 2 outs.

[Fiver6565]

That line score indicates we actually had a shut out second inning.  I.......don't remember that.

[webbrick2010]

10 runs in 3 innings and Clev brings in a relief pitcher and of course he walks the leadoff hitter

Sometimes you wonder how any of these guys made it to the majors

[WillyM]

Hicks!  Just can't stop this guy.

[Fiver6565]

This day by Hicks means at least a month of starts for him.

[allquixotic]

Well, Aaron Hicks is a welcome addition so far.

he had an easy out at 2nd and threw it home lol

I cant believe we didnt have one guy in AAA we could of brought up to eat some innings today.  Why exactly did they have to go with a bullpen game?

He at least deserves it more than McKenna. Ride him as long as you can

[Gurgi]

Did Elias explain why we couldnt do a roster move for a starter from AAA?  Why in the world did we have to go with a BP game with a tired BP?  Didnt want to send someone down?  How about Vavra?

This is an absurd post. They are in completely different scenarios. 

What? What it comes down to is this. Do you think Grayson Rodriguez or DL Hall will give you a better start than Akin/Voth. And the orioles decided No

Actually--and I didn't mention this yesterday b/c I didn't want to hex him!--Hicks was 7 for 17 for the Yankees coming over. He may be locked in for a while.

Hard to believe considering how many runs we've scored!

Baumann has got to give us some solid innings now.

[Gurgi]

Was that really fair?  So if it is on home plate it is fair?  Learned something new.

Voth has been way better than Rodriguez in recent weeks. The development of both Rodriguez and Hall is also in consideration.
