8/23 vs Houston

[Roy Firestone]

Ever notice that when they do a bobble head of our players...they seem to have bad games..Cowser did, Burnes did, and so far Gunnar too...

Yes, and it is to be hoped that his batting eye will be better, his average will go up, his throws will gain strength and accuracy.

But those things do need to happen.

when Manny came up, in 2012, he hit the ground running and never looked back

But Elias cares about defense.

 

News flash, he cares about exit velocity.

 

Cowser? Gunnar? Adley?

WHAT?

His batting eye is fine, it's the umps that are wrong.

When they get the ABS system in the majors he'll be one of the biggest beneficiaries.

The O’s are 6 for their last 41 with RISP. Houston is 7-11 in the last 2 games. Their situational hitting is absolutely putrid. They’re given multiple chances by the Pena error and then the missed DP and wild pitch but of course don’t score. They are just so unclutch.

It’s 2 at bats. Hit 99 and 101. Not like he has made 3 errors.

Not even kidding.

How good has Adley looked on defense this season?

How much of a dropoff have we seen from Gunnar.

Also, Stowers, Norby, Mayo, Kjerstad.

It’s one year. Gunnar is fine. One bad rut. Adley was solid before. 
 

So did they teach them defense before and this year said the hell with it? 

Kjerstad is a pure bat. The others weren’t high picks. Should he draft Belanger like players? High pics being 1st round.

If Povich could cut his walks by 20%, he could be really something.

but, going back to the issue of Mike Elias’s off-season planning it was very unwise to go into the season with Povich and McDermott as your depth.

Score some runs you dildos -MM (probably)

[Yossarian]

These city- connect jerseys are even uglier when we're losing.

When does Holliday get back to doing what he did before?
