I have to think Elias is considering a trade for a utility outfielder than can play CF defense well the Orioles don't have that currently unless you count McKenna.

Makes me think there's a chance Kjerstad might get optioned instead of McKenna DFA when Hays returns.

Means has no CH tonight. That is the difference in his last start.

From bad to worse.  Hyde is usually so quick with the hook, what's up?

My guess is the Win Rule.

[Roy Firestone]

need this out...bad...

[O's84]

Of course.

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Take out Means and Kjerstad doesn't have a strong throwing arm.

[Roy Firestone]

Means just not sharp today...too bad...

[Moose Milligan]

Came back to see the Roy freak out

Means to the pen when Gray Rod comes back?  I can't see sending Irvin to the pen, when he has been arguably our best starter this year.

[Billy F-Face3]

Good opportunity for Baumann to make a case to keep his roster spot here.

And why did Hyde leave Means in to face Gurriel??

Now he comes out. Typical.

After one bad start? They will most likely go to a 6 man rotation for a little while.

He's lost that case about 10 times but he's still here.

[Billy F-Face3]

If Mullins and Hays were in the outfield, I think Means would have a better stat line today.

Orioles have a bad-NL-team problem this year. I don't remember so many NL games in the past. It seems every other opponent is from the NL.
