I gotta say, Means is really impressing me...I was a hair reluctant to believe the outing he had in Cleveland...but he's getting sharper and sharper and may well be a major starter for us in the post season...this is huge...

Curve ball looks sharp tonight.

I'm surprised Mullins didn't get the game off and not Hicks.  I thought Mullins still wasn't 100%.  How does Kjerstad look in RF?  Does he use a car or wheelchair?

I think people will be pleasantly surprised watching Kjerstad play RF and LF. I watched him at bowing and he surprised me with how much ground he covered playing LF.

I was surprised how quickly he got to second on that bloop double last night.  I wasn't expecting that.

Kjerstad has done more in RF than he has at the plate, so there is that.

I am really enjoying him being around and the banter. 

This is all taking me back to the magic of Orioles baseball over the years. 

He is looking healthier than he has been in recent years.  When they had him in the booth last year )or the year before?), he seemed really out of breath and heavier.

    • This is a direct quote I copy and pasted from your first post in that thread.   And you’re saying you never said this?  “But I sense we are starting to fade”?   “And that team still didn't win anything.  The playoffs are a different animal.  Right now we are a good team playing above our water line.  But I sense we are starting to fade and again....that is ok.  It is great experience for the coming years. “
    • I don't think it is really the past 5 games.  It is the next 4 months, potential playoffs, and all of next year that has people concerned.  Remember these elbows aren't just taking guys out this year, but most of next year as well. And Burnes probably won't be around next either. 
    • It is just a real shame that the Os are going through all of these elbows.  Take away all of the elbows going back to last year with Felix and I would say the Os are a lock to get to the WS and would have a great chance to win it all. I haven't seen this many injuries from a teams top guys in such a short amount of time in maybe.....forever. I am starting to wonder if it is something the Os are doing as far as their training.   Trying to obtain too much spin, revs, and velocity. I am a big Colts fan and for years we have complained about all of the knee blowouts and hammy injuries they get when playing at home.  Finally the Colts realized that it might be turf related from their home field and replaced it this past spring.    
    • I've been a fan for a long time too but mostly remember a lot of near misses, not tailspin collapses. 2005 comes to mind (Raffygate, Sammy Sosa, Lee Mazzilli, et al.)... what other seasons are you thinking of, to create scar tissue?
    • I really like Kremer.  Seems like a good guy and a solid arm. But he is not going to be the guy to get you into the playoffs and he especially won't be a guy between a make or break WS championship. 
    • We can hope he’s back to being his #5 self, but he’ll now be a #3, and let’s all x the fingers
    • The 5 game losing streak is a 5 game losing streak.  I am not too concerned about that unless it turns into something bigger. Every team goes through it.  What I am concerned about is losing 3 starters and 2 great relievers since last August with not a lot to replace them other than Burnes.  And they won't even back for most of next year...if at all. Add in the fact that Burnes is more than likely leaving after this year?  Our cupboard pitching wise is pretty bare as it looks right now. So imo you absolutely need to trade some of your AA and AAA players to get pitching help now and for next year.  This team is too good to waste years on players like GH and AR.
