Tuesday June 6: Orioles at Milwaukee

[Yossarian]

A couple of very uncompetitive at bats by Mounty and Ramon

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

I've got a bad feeling about this bottom of the ninth inning.

We should have just fast forwarded to the 10th. This is looking pretty grim

[Tony-OH]

Not a great feeling about this game now.

As much as the leadoff walk hurt, allowing runners to run at will is an issue an that's in Adley. His throws were damn right awful.

That's not the kind of pitcher either of them can hit.

Mountcastle now rocking a .697 OPS.

Mountcastle needs to be hitting against LHP only.

To be fair they are facing one of the top pitchers on the planet

His SLG is barely down from last year and the average is up. He's been fine offensively. Now defensively? Definitely has been a decline this year in all aspects especially throwing.

Well, his slugging wasn’t great last year.

Last year, I believe he had 34 doubles and didn’t play a full season. He has like 8 this year and it’s not like the homers are way up.

The BA/OBP are very good…but he has to show more power. I wonder if he is in a get on base mode batting second.  Maybe would try to hit for more power if he was down in the lineup?  I know Markakis used to think that way.

[Alasdaire]

Need to shakeup the bullpen. We have two maybe three good relievers, and we’re putting them in bad situations because we have no one else.
 

Would DL really be much worse than Perez or Akin? We especially need lefties.

I’ll be surprised if Moutcastle plays MLB in 2025

I'll take that bet.

Mountcastle needs to sit for a while...hes killing us...

Mountcastle still has minor league options I think.  Send him down till he learns how to work a count and how to scoop a ball in the dirt.   He really is not helping us and with the new deep wall in left.  Give his spot to Lester

[Baltimorecuse]

I wouldn't use the Mountain unless we have a lead.

They've been pitiful all night 

[TopGunnar]

I’m approaching the “actually feeling bad” for Mountcastle at this point. He’s somehow gotten worse every year in the big leagues. 
 

I also don’t think Ramon Urias has any idea where the pitch is being thrown. 

[Roy Firestone]

We deserve to lose this game...
