Darn.

McNeil is killing us.

[mrbig1]

Back to needing more runs. 

[Gurgi]

Bumbry was a freaking war hero.  Fought in the jungles of Vietnam.   Came back and was Rookie of the year.

O'Hearn does not belong in the outfield.

It's a Buck move.

We got a bloop RBI earlier.  Now they got Lindor to 2nd on one (even if it should have been caught).  Unfortunately Gibson gave a hit to the next batter.  Still up by 2, but we might need need some runs.

This is a major game with Tampa losing today.

It would be awesome if Means comes back effective.

He remains a big if. Guy hasn’t pitched in over a year, is going to need time to get built up. It’s already August. Time isn’t a resource there’s much of.

[Billy F-Face3]

Rookies have growing pains. And O'Hearn is not an outfielder. 

Even if you want to bring up Kjerstad, you're taking the exact same risk as you did aggressively promoting Cowser that he will struggle to adjust the same way. He hasn't had enough time in AAA and the pitcher between AA and AAA and MLB is a HUGE difference of skill level.

Today is a game where Bautista can be brought in during the eighth inning if the Orioles don't pad this lead. 

[yark14]

Let Cowser run.  Be aggressive.

[oriolediehard]

Wasn't Kjerstad in the minors longer than Cowser was?

He missed a lot of time with Myocarditis.

[Gurgi]

Who goes in the off season to make room for Cowser and Kjerstad in the outfield?

 McKenna hit ball well all night
