Saturday, August 19: O's vs A's continue the Battle of the Vowels in California

[Malike]

Don't understand why Westburg is batting 4th.

[O's84]

Westburg has had a forgettable night at the plate tonight.

Fujinami cannot be trusted when it's a one run game even if he starts a cleaning inning.

Fuji shouldn't be on a team trying to win the division.  He's a reclamation pproject

It's been more than just tonight. His OPS is down like 90 points in a couple of weeks.

Don't think the Angels are going to pull out the victory tonight....

I wonder how many stadiums that Hays CF warning track fly ball would have been a home run in.

The league has started to adjust.  Let's see if he can make the needed changes.  He had a lot of swing and miss in the minors throughout his career (27%).

They have a .275 winning percentage. Let's not point to outliers and think this should be the expectation. 

Yeah let’s not point out outliers yet complain about one game which is an outlier.

He's swinging at the first pitch nearly 50% of the time. He needs to be a bit more patient.

Hyde was very honest, the vast majority of the O's games are close games, you can't not pitch the man, he's going to have to see high-leverage situations the way this team plays games.

I guess. My counter would be that I don't think Fuji has done anything to earn that spot, and I also think he has a pysche that has to be coddled. I guess we have found out what we have though

[Gurgi]

We need a big K right now.

League might have enough video on Westburg now and teams are adjusting to him.

Elias put him on the team, you have to use the tools you are given as a Manager.
