I hope he keeps getting bombed and is available cheaply for a trade. He's be a good pickup down the stretch and imagine he'd pitch better in a playoff atmosphere.

His peripherals are amazing.

There isn't much value in risking an out for a single extra base.

It was a bad play. Not defending that. He immediately reached to ball popping out and didn’t see how far it went.

I'd  like another 20 games against these guys.

Adley’s swing looks big to me.

Looks fatigued to me. Late on pitches.

I'm not saying he didn't make a mistake, it was a bad read.   But it's an easy mistake to make and it was a situation where an extra base could have a very high added value.

I'll have to disagree a little bit here. It was a very bad read but also bad game awareness. The Orioles are up 4-1, had one out and pitcher struggling. If the ball had gone off the catcher's glove and gone back to the wall, he would have been able to jog to 3B.

In that situation, he has to know that he can make it to 3rd easily because he's already in scoring position and with his speed, almost any single into the outfield is going to score him.

Hell yea, Frazier delivers.

Orioles RBI Leaders:

39  Mountcastle, Mullins

This is the Baumann I envisioned when he was in the minors. Throwing 97-98 with a hammer curveball out of the pen.

[spiritof66]

Rays trailing Texas 8-4 in the ninth, probably only a 50-50 chance to win.

I still would have rather of had Westburg playing 2B all year, but Frazier has been fine overall.

Frazier has a lifetime average over .300 in high leverage situations. He elevates his game in the clutch.
