April 1 vs The Royals

[Yossarian]

Potential game winning stop by Mounty.  He's had a couple gems so far this season

You mean someone of lesser value?  Doubt it.  I'm guessing Westburg or Kjerstad if not Ortiz.

Ortiz has a -6 OPS+ and Westburg has a healthy 53. Easy choice!

I've never looked at Mounty's metrics much but he seems to have very good range for a 1b. 

I think he's a very good feilding 1st Basemen.

Gold Glove finalist in 2023.

Hell of a play by Mountcastle. 

But holy crap, what is up with that "Analysis" from Palmer. "1st round pic. (kinda, 36th pick but ok), came up as a shortstop (Yes, only because Dan Duquette for some reason felt like he was worth more as a shortstop, even though every scout knew he had no chance being one) had quickness (not really), arm strength (No. He had one of the worse arms you will ever see from a guy being asked to play SS at the professional level. It really was the main reason he had to move to 1B).

All star play

Defense wins! Great job Orioles! Now go get some hits!

[dystopia]

O’s slinging some D now

(Interpret that however you wish)

I was leaving work and on my way to my car in the parking lot during the first inning, so I didn't see it.   So from MY point of view we are having a fantastic night with the glove, with the exception of the extra base taken on Mullins & Westburg.

Or it might have been two players. It's not as if teams were overwhelming the O's with offers for Ortiz. 

[Yossarian]

And another one!  That was not an easy play for Gunnar

[Moshagge3]

Defense has redeemed itself pretty well since the first inning. A bunch of highlight plays.

And the two first inning errors

[Ripken]

Be great if the bottom could do something here.

“Henderson continues the orioles glove show”

Guess Kevin brown missed the first inning
