Exactly, selling out for power and not taking walks is a silly team philosophy as it appears they are all trying to be aggressive this year.

Yep. Walks don’t slump.

Malike was being very facetious there haha.

Didn’t they say Tony lost weight and gained more agility the off season?

In the best shape of his life?

I understand, I was being a little sarcastic, they have a fantastic rotation and can't hit, so all weekend there will be teeth-gnashing about how terrible the O's are at hitting. We're facing great pitchers 5 days in a row.

Right back to the Buck philosophy.

When do those determinations get made?   I know it used to be pretty early, and by the time they printed the ASBs and started distributing them at games there were often discrepancies.

Mateo was our Opening Day 2Bman but only because we happened to face a lefty.   The 2Bman who got the most starts the first few weeks of the season was Westburg, and Urias got the most starts at 3rd.

I'm not sure exactly, but I think the ballot usually comes out around now and they just use whoever at that point has started the most games at that position. Mateo has the 2b lead 20-13 over Westburg, and Westburg has the 3b lead 28-17 over Urias.

once again unproductive outs...

[Moose Milligan]

Terrible call. That’s revenge for the one on Vogelbach earlier.

I was going to say it would suck if Mateo and Urias are on the ballot and Westburg is left off.  I assume some common sense is used.
