Mayo with a triple just now in Norfolk...hes the ONLY player in AAA with 20 HR and a .300 BA..but theres no room for him on our red hot hitting team..(sorry for the sarcasm..but it's true.)

Probably because the ones that could both hit and play defense got promoted.

What happened?

Mullins was hitting pretty decently recently. Hope he’s ok.

Can he hit MLB pitchers pounding the outside corner?

Don’t know. Wasn’t really given a real chance. 2-3 at bats every 4th game then subbed out

Maybe from diving catch? He talked to Ebel after his at bat.

Maybe Adley is hurt? Who knows why he hasn’t been as good. 
 

And Mayo is legit prospect. 
They keep playing Mullins in CF.  

I didn't say Mayo wasn't a legit prospect.  That was in response to the idea that lower draft picks can't more holes in their game (which I agree they do tend to have).

If you pay a fifth round guy second round money do you look at him like a fifth round guy or a second round guy or something in between?

Schwang!

He turns on inside -middle pitches at AAA. Not same level of pitching here. All I’m saying and I like the kid.

Another game of only scoring on home runs or other teams mistakes. 2 hits. Pathetic display, as per the usual lately.

Then DH him...we need the power..or even the threat of power...I think Elias wants to keep Mayo's rookie status...as if that makes a lot of sense..

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 amps are certainly blowing some calls, but you can’t blame a 174 batting average on the umpires

[LGOrioles]

On pace for less than 5 hits again. Exciting stuff.

Yea I wasn’t disagreeing with you at all. I literally don’t know if he can hit MLB pitching.

I don’t think his rookie status has anything to do with it. If Mullins is hurt may be up.
