Irvin was awful that inning.

I'd rather see a rookie give a performance like this than a guy with a pretty low ceiling.

I'm under no illusion that G-Rod is suddenly ready to come back but I'd rather have him out there with the ability to strike guys out instead of Irvin soft-tossing in the middle of the zone.

Cole Irvin = Batting practice fastballs

Anyone else seen enough to conclude that he's not very good?

[O's84]

Bats better wake up soon.

But we don’t need a SP at the deadline. 

Don't need to get someone up to play Shortstop either, 276 OBP is fine.

The upside is we don't have to kid ourselves about this guy anymore.  Time for a move.

Bye bye Cole Hello Grayson

Pretty sure you can grow ivy everywhere.  They had it growing up the batter's eye out past centerfield for years.

It was a struggle, it never really looked healthy. Too much direct sun exposure on the batter's eye at OPCY.

So the 7+ERA that he was sent down for was not an anomaly?

Which way are the flags blowing?   Were the HRs wind-aided?

I don't believe so, no.

They're blowing IN hard from left.

Geoff Arnold is kind of hard to listen to.
