Yeah I dont agree at all.  Ortiz is a rookie and has to get over rookie break in periods.  Ortiz is light years ahead on defense.   

Frazier is playing because Elias and Hyde have a love for playing veterans.  

We can afford any more rookie acclimation projects right now

Pinto is pitching for the Rays.

Wow, they are going to use 2  innings of position player pitching?  We'll probably only use one tonight.  Glad we're not the Rays!

Take some comfort in Volpe looking like an idiot. 

He gets the ball there but Volpe’s arm doesn’t impress me. Curious how he ages.

We can't afford any more Adam Frazier in the field.

Right, they should run out vets that can't hit and/or field instead.

On the comfort scale, it's 1 ply toilet paper.  I guess that beats straw.

The Orioles still have a little bit of hope to come back and win this game, but the window is small. They have to stack some good At Bats.

Adam Frazier is fine offensively.

Wow, 1.2 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 0 ER, 3 K for Baker. Surely he pitched great tonight.

It’s amazing how you can be as energized as they were last night and then come out tonight on National TV and suck this bad.

Energized? Zero runs through the first 8 innings last night.

He get's the outs when it doesn't count.

That's the problem with ERA. The pitcher who let the inherited runners score doesn't get docked for it and the pitcher who wasn't even in the game gets the blame.

Adam Frazier is offensive.  Fine.
