 watching Gray pitch lol .. good grief we look like people picked at random from the stands.. 

It's not just this series against the Twins.  The last couple of weeks, almost everyone on this team has been hyper aggressive. 

They are not working counts, they are constantly swinging at first and second pitches, and they're not collectively stacking pitch counts on opposing starting pitchers, letting them hang forever and shortening our opportunities against opposing bullpens.

The exact opposite of what made us so successful the first two and a half months of the season.

I don't know if it's all individual players doing it, or if it's a team directive... but it's got to stop.

If your pitching is good enough you don't need much more.  That's baseball forever.

As the Twins are 42-42, they may need at least a little more.

Sometimes I wonder if Wieters will actually prove to be more valuable to Rutschman on his career.

Hays out of the game?

Wonderful.. Hays out of the game. That's all this pitiful offense needs.

Bring up Cowser after the All-star game.  If Hays is hurt.

Gunnar cant really throw the ball very well.  He is wild as all hell.

Yeah because sophomore slumps never happen.

A career WAR of 17.6 isn’t bad at all for where Wieters was drafted. Guy catches more flack than he deserves.

17.6 at 1:1 would be a bit disappointing, but not a travesty.

Why was Hayes taken out of the game?  Is he injured and how did he get injured?

Apparently an inning or two earlier he had a collision with the first baseman when an infielder's throw pulled the 1B off the bag.

Per Orioles beat writers Hays left the game w a hip contusion. Praying he's just day to day

A horrible throw to first...firstbase jumped into the runners line and they hit with Hays running hard to first.  Hays is glass so now he is broke.
