Austin Hays is absolutely ghastly...right now...

Batting .333 with a .949 OPS since coming back from injury. Hitting .381 with OPS of 1.161 in June.

Maybe Roy or Tony can answer this. Since the 1960 and omitting the steriod ERA, how many SS have had a first half like Gunnar? I would also add that they were not a butcher in the field.

The Orioles must rank among the league leaders in third strike whiffs on pitches outside the strike zone. You don't hav to throw most of these guys a strike on 3-2. 

[Roy Firestone]

Irvin cant get a clean inning...

[Malike]

Bo Naylor hasn't hit all year and he's an impossible out for the Orioles dumpster fire pitchers.

Austin Kays!

Did I do it right @Malike?

This continues to be the dumbest argument that continually gets brought up around here.

1.) The Orioles are going for a pennent, this is not about development
2.) If the minor leagues did not develop players, they would not exist
3.) There are numerous stories of players that were sent back to the minors, reset, and came back and became great players.

This ridiculous myth that a player has to continue to suck on a contending team because "he can't learn anything else against minor league pitching" needs to be buried with the idea that wins and losses determines how good a pitcher is.

1- The poster I was responding to was talking about it helping him.  If they had said that for the good of the team he needs to be replaced...

2- AAA is a wasteland of pitching and the automated strike zone makes it a poor substitute for the majors.

3- Gunnar and Adley stayed in the majors and made their adjustments there.  Elly De La Cruz didn't get sent down and learned to hit in the majors, Bobby Witt JR has gone from an OPS+ of 102-117-142.  Machado learned to hit in the majors.  I'd wager more high pedigree guys learn in the majors instead of having an epiphany when they are sent down.

 

 

[O's84]

Oh this is just perfect.

[Moose Milligan]

Uh oh Mateo 

[TopGunnar]

McCann does nothing but hurt this team. 

[Tony-OH]

That's not good. He's in a ton of pain.

[LookitsPuck]

Can we please end the McCann experiment. 

[oriolediehard]

Elias drafted a big bat in Kjerstadt, but he is a fielding liability.  Why can't he be a full time DH? We can use all the hitting we can get. I just want to understand the logic?

 

[Roy Firestone]

Mateo hurt...if its bad, here comes Norby or Mayo...
