This is what I'm talking about.

Their guy is struggling a little tiny bit, first time all day.  Walks Mateo.

Then Bemboom comes up and swings at the first pitch.

Knock it off, guys.  Work some counts.  ESPECIALLY immediately after walks.   

EDIT:  Et tu, Adley? 

We need to make some major adjustments right now. 🤦‍♂️

Dude swings at first pitch less than anyone. 

And the team OPS is 100 points higher in PAs where they swing at the first pitch. The collective OPS when they put the first pitch in play is 1.064.

Frustrating when they make outs on the first pitch, I get it, but because they’re usually so patient, they generally have the opportunity to do serious damage when they hack at the first pitch.

The whole team is doing this right now.  It's almost as if they've been directed to, but it's a terrible approach when you do it 100% of the time, and it's wrecking our offense.

More Adley short of warning track power. 

He looks like a guy who should have all kind of power but he doesn't.

Right now this offense looks as anemic as any in the MLB I've seen this year.

I wish Adley could take steroids but no one else could.   He needs about 20 feet more to his flyballs.  And the increase in bast speed would help.  

Steroids cant help his throws to second.  Maybe some time with Rick Dempsey would help.  It helped Wieters a great deal.

    • Mayo coming back from injury could have his debut in Baltimore delayed. 
    • Wasn't a huge fan of his swing for that last out today but coming in to pinch hit with 2 outs isn't easy.
    • Interpreting Malike's comment that way is theoretically possible, but I didn't take it that way--didn't feel that shade was being thrown on me at all. But thanks for the concern.
    • People are being a bit ridiculous with the holier than thou takes criticizing a little humor. I am not saying what happened couldn’t cause a significant concussion, but it would be a bit of a fluke if it did. Mullins barely hit him with the bat and he had a helmet on. The fact that it was in the back of the head did make him more vulnerable, but this wasn’t the type of thing you see and think he was lucky to be alive.  Guys have probably hit their heads harder on the top of the dugout or on the fence making catches.  And note this comes from someone whose son has suffered severe concussions and who is well aware of the dangers associated with them. In short, people need to lighten up a bit on guys like Roy.  It was a little gallows humor. 
    • Yeah, you read that wrong. LA2 is one of my favorite posters here and he knows it. No harm, no foul. If you aren't familiar with the game threads, it doesn't matter what the team is doing, people complain about it and people did make that same joke in the game thread long before Roy said it here. Game thread in summary - when the O's are not doing well, it's insufferable, when they are doing well, it's mildly less insufferable. There, that wasn't hard. I'd appreciate it if you didn't assume I'm throwing shade at people. I'll leave that up to you to do, you're really good at it.
    • Comp a. Like Gunnar, and beavers…
    • Wasn't Westburg a 2nd round draft pick?  It's a little early to judge last year's draft.
