6 of the starting 9 are Elias draftees.   Is that a new record?   Or maybe we hit that once when Holliday was up earlier this year?

Six of the starting 10.

Good to see Kjerstad in there. Did we ever get an explanation for why he didn't play yesterday? Getting .001% of incremental leverage playing Hays one more time

[Yossarian]

Oh, Great!! Orioles going up against a struggling young no-name pitcher with an ERA north of 7.  This game has 3 hits and one Oriole run written all over it.

Norby and Kjerstad both in the lineup again.

Westburg on the bench. Good lineup though. Maybe auditioning Urias for that last bit of trade value and resting JW.

Or saving JW for that blockbuster deal

I know we need pitching, but our lineup is dead. Not sure what to do about it. Just hope they can get hot and start hitting again.

I'm not sure he's going anywhere. Saw a clip with he and Hyder and Hyde was praising his work ethic and how he shows up to do his job day in and day out. I get the feeling he's this teams version of Markakis in that regard.

At least we have the better defensive alignment going in this one.

I was being facetious. I don’t think Westy is going anywhere.

I’m surprised at why you sit the hot bat? Novel idea …. How about sitting Gunnar a couple games to get his shit together defensively. Probably won’t be popular but he might need a swift kick.

Gunnar definitely needs to sit. Adley too. Who is the hot bat though? Westburg has been scuffling.

I don't believe there is one.

And who plays SS with Jorge on the IL? JW? Ramon?

Swift kick?   That’s a pathetic comment.
