Or what though? You would rather see Ryan McKenna than let Colton get his ABs? Mullins and Hicks aren't available.

They are probably going to leave him where he is for now. But if he doesn't start to at least hit the ball a little. When one of them comes back, he will be sent back down.

Os hitters not there yet.  Probably a year away from being an elite offense.  Not sure how this team is supposed to perform against top tier pitching.  Could really use a top veteran bat. 

I think will take 2 to become elite.

The automatic runner in extra innings should lead to more sac bunts.

McCann has been rather good at that lately, but I can't see him being put in just for that.

Seattle would probably pay you to take Teoscar away.

Two years from elite at best imo. Not gonna be at that level with Holliday/Mayo/Kjerstad as rookies.

*whispers* this year is still ahead of schedule.

Hopeful that 1 will come from Holiday, Heston or Mayo.

Gunnar didn’t have a chance in April or May either.

Urias looked terrible there yikes.

Gunnar in April was about 10x Cowser in July.

Yes it may take 2 years.

Someone make a 30 minute YouTube video of Stanton striking out. I’d watch that.

Amazing how much guys chase Felix's fastball way above the zone. High heat is always tempting, but it's the thread of his secondary pitch that has them so out of sorts.

It’d probably have to be 45 minutes

I guess they're guessing splitter and it stays up.  The ball's coming straight down because Bautista doesn't get much extension so it's probably tough to judge in 0.35 seconds.

Let's GOOOOOOOOOO

I can't believe this dude said the Orioles LIKE to play tight games. No chief, they have no choice.
