5 and 5 in the last 10 isnt stellar...

It certainly isn’t struggling, but I know it’s a game thread so all that matters is that we pretend the sky is falling.

Yes Aaron Hicks!!!!!

[spiritof66]

I've seen a fair amount of Hicks with the NYYs. This is ridiculous.

Sometimes, all it takes to reach your potential is to leave a toxic employer.

[Gurgi]

I wish Mountcastle would get red hot for two months so the Orioles could trade him for some players who are actually good.

[Mooreisbetter27]

I know the odds of this being a true turnaround for Hicks is prob unlikely but I’m enjoying the ride.

Wouldn’t mind him taking McKenna spot when Mullins is back.

But Hicks earned the toxicity by some really bad play.

[Tony-OH]

I don't know if this is just one of those David Newhan streaks or not, but I'm going to enjoy Hicks' hot streak.

when is Gunnar returning?

Other GM's are not morons.

They are not going to be unduly influenced by a Mountcastle hot streak any more than they would an Oriole prospect who started slowly.

It doesn't work that way.

exactly....you got me....LOL

[Jagwar]

By the way... GREAT response from the offense. Gibson throws 30+ pitches in the first inning, and Hays and Hicks respond right away

Why rain on my parade?  You telling me we cant fleece someone?  Look at Lopez last year.  For that matter look at Mancini.
