At least try to block it Adley

97 spiked into the dirt, you anticipate that bounce with 100% accuracy and get back to me. Adley is $$$ on blocking pitches, no catcher is 100% in that area.

[Bahama O's Fan]

Well, look at that. Over six innings and only two runs given up

Really.  I’m sure he just said “f this.  I’m not even going to try.”

[Tony-OH]

Rutschman does his job and it's 3-1. Piss poor little league backhand of a fastball in the dirt in the middle of the zone.

I don't know where his head is tonight but it's not in the ballpark.

Orioles should just bring every pitcher up for a month or two and then send them down.  Lots of guys much better after being sent back down.  

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Whew! Now get some insurance runs.

[Mooreisbetter27]

Why can’t we win a laugher against the shitty Royals? Everything has to be a damn struggle.

After seeing the replay that was on Adley. Between that and the inaccurate throws the other night he's not had a good week

[Aristotelian]

Extend Baumann and skip Cano here?

I want to publicly say that I was wrong about Baumann

Even after that result. I’m comfortable in saying I am not very confident in him in high leverage situations. Had that been a good hitter this might have been a different story.

Don't make excuse for him. Call it like it is. A major league catcher has to block that. If he used the right technique and it's skips away ok, but he tried to backhand it like a high schooler. Awful.

I know you are frustrated, but you can't really say that with a straight face and believe it. I know emotions run high in the game thread, but this is hyperbole at it's finest.

He tried to back hand a fastball in the dirt. He would be the first to say he should have tried to square it up on the chest
