He is ranked like 40th now.  In other words worse than half of the back ups in MLB. 

Once again, I didn't say otherwise.

But coming into this season he most certainly had a positive reputation as a quality pitch framer.

So he was "known for" pitch framing.

Vlad doing his Mayo impression.

Vlad Jr may be worse than Mayo at 3b

Vladdy making Coby look like Andrelton.

Hyde has his flaws but I can't help but be more critical of Elias.  I know it's harder to buy at the trade deadline than it is to sell, especially these days, but it's difficult to remember a worse deadline for a team this talented yet with obvious needs.  Thank goodness Eflin and Dominguez have looked pretty good (knock on wood).

Slator has looked good, Jimenez has looked good.  Rogers hasn’t been great but if Westy doesn’t get injured he makes everyone one of those plays Mayo missed and his line looks a lot better tonight.

Eloy looks like hes crashing back to earth...

Yea. No.  Virtually impossible middle hop. 

I'm not sure how that is routine.

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Golden opportunity and Jimenez proceeds to hit into an inning ending double play. This game has been torture so far.

They charged Coby. They took away his error in 1st.  

It was a horrible throw.  An in an in between hop throw. 

Jiminez's little hot streak seems to be over btw. 

He can go bye bye anytime.

Eloy looked like modern day incarnation of Pedro Cerrano when he was whiffing on those breaking balls.

Thanks. I knew about the error being changed to a hit, which gave Rogers another earned run, sadly, but I thought the error went to Mountcastle. Thanks for the clarification.

He had some singles.

Not as if he was crushing the ball.

He had a nice series, helped the team win a couple games.

[LGOrioles]

Just can’t get out of their own way against bad teams.
