Saturday afternoon July 22: Orioles send Greyson Rodriguez to the mound vs Rays

[ArtVanDelay]

Gunnar is starting to look like lefty Scott Rolen.  Was listening to Keith Law’s podcast and he called Jackson Holliday a lefty Troy Tulowitzki.  Not a bad combo. 
 

Oh and we have that Adley Rutschman guy too.

THAT is why I want Gunnar at third. You can count on one hand the number of infielders who have the arm strength to make that play. It's his best skill in the field.

This is why I want Gunnar at short.

ESPN was talking to Scott Rolan about his Hall of Fame induction and had him react to his fielding highlights they were showing. Alot of Rolan's 3rd Base highlights look like what we see from Gunnar day in and day out.

Nice pick by Mounty too. Not sure O'Hearn or Santander make that.

[Aristotelian]

Are we looking at Manny 2.0 here? 

[Bahama O's Fan]

Grayson has faced the minimum number of hitters through 5 innings right?

[Uli2001]

Bats suddenly went quiet again. They need to keep scoring, this only looks like a big lead. It's not.

[Roy Firestone]

we need one more solid inning by Grayson here...that double play really saved him from a stressful inning..

[G54377]

I feel like 3B- Gunnar / SS- Holliday / 2B Westburg will be the future but I'm excited regardless.

I would have the pen going .. one guy gets on in sixth, I change.. 

If it's a walk, I'd agree.

But honestly, Grayson hasn't given up a hit to the outfield yet.   He's faced the minimum.   I'm not yanking him for a ground ball single or blooper.

Would love to see him build some confidence moving forward by finishing 6.   Pitch count is at 70.

Yup.

[Billy F-Face3]

I just want to shake the hand of the man who discovered Gunnar Henderson in high school as well as Mike Elias' and his scouts for making him a Baltimore Oriole.

[Mooreisbetter27]

What the hell. That was an obvious strike. Should be 2-2

Eduard Bazardo isn't on the roster.   Cano and the Mountain and Coulombe are all available.   It's a pretty big lead.
