Just air-mailed a soft toss from 2B. Work to be done on that side of the ball.

That was a bad play.  Moving to the bag, he had a sloppy transfer, and then backflipped the ball over the SS's head.  

Work to be done,

And as I was typing this, Kjerstad just dropped a throw from Holliday at 1b for an inexplicable error.

Yeah, the bats are ready, the gloves, not so much.

LOL.  And then Mayo just threw a wild ball to first and Kjerstad didn't even make an attempt on it.

Mayo then made another bad throw when throwing across his body for another error. Really poor throwing night for him tonight.

He is going to be a Devers style thirdbase.  Great bat and horrible glove and throws.

I hope it isn’t the case, but I fear he is going to take Westburg’s spot.  I am just not that conifrident in Westburg’s ability to hit in the MLB.  I hope I am wrong 

If he does, it won't be because Westburg can't hit.

    • Friedman and Dombrowski set a high bar, and the Astros are post peak.    Atlanta probably doesn't want to hear much about the Orioles misfortune. The Orioles level of play has been in the toilet half a season but I still think the good version of themselves is the AL's best positioned team to outplay the NL's best even this year.     We'll see if Soto and Judge are more than a 1-year thing, but even so that club has vulnerabilities.
    • I agree it's unlikely but not completely far fetched. I don't think he is a lock to get more than $20M in AAV, so he could decide to take it and then hit FA if he has a good or even better year. His talent level is in a similar range as the players who have accepted: Joc Pederson, Jose Abreu, Wieters etc.
    • Sort of a funny game to have come directly after a discussion of the merits of bunting with 1st and 2nd with nobody out. Glad Bob Melvin and I don’t see eye to eye on that issue…didn’t work out in his favor today.
    • Let's be honest, Gunnar ain't finishing second either.
    • Yeah, I don't think the Orioles' struggles against NL teams is very meaningful, but I do think the NL is stronger this year.  All the NL division leaders have looked formidable and steady throughout the season.  But also the Padres and Mets have kicked their seasons into another gear and have really impressed over the past couple of months.  Compare them to the Wild Card teams in the AL, and they just appear more formidable on paper.   Also the DBacks are pretty much outhitting everyone right now -- though that's been offset by their not so effective pitching.  
    • For sure he is out of consideration as the MVP favorite to copy Cal.  Of course,  Cal didn't have an Aaron Judge to compete with.  The runner-up in MVP voting in 1983 was a guy named Eddie Murray.  Eddie had more HR, more RBI, a higher slugging and OPS than Cal, but Cal had a higher WAR and batting average (.318 to .303).  I wonder if Eddie is bitter about losing the MVP to Cal?  A case could be made for either one.
