Wieters with the signature pop up. 

Wieters at 26-years old: .249/.329/.435/.764
Rutschman at 26-y old: .262/.326/.416/.742 coming into tonight where he's stunk.

He's worse than Wieters and Wieters wasn't the 1-1 pick. Good thing Gunnar was a 2nd round pick in that draft.

Rutschman is so screwed up it's not even funny. Why in the world he changed into this super upper cut swing and gave up working counts is beyond me. 

Yeah, his mechanics are out of whack.  I was watching some highlight videos from before and he does not look the same at all.

I was just kidding around but that’s actually pathetic. Good lord he’s just not good at the plate and been especially pathetic lately.

I really think he’s dealing with a nagging injury. He had a couple of days off for his lower back a few weeks ago.

Good thing the hitting coaches have all this major league experience to help him. Oh wait, they give him information on pitching, and tell him to swing as hard as he can because the nerd computer told them that is the best way to be productive. Meanwhile the Orioles have 3 runs on TWO hits.

Up until the last two months Adley has been the better player. The last two months have been brutal but I have to think Adley is better than this.

He was an OBP machine. I don’t know why he changed but give me back the old Adley instead of Wieters. 

Coming into this season, Rutschman never turned into the 30+ homer guy but he was a good OBP guy with .800 plus OPSs. 

I guess he decided chicks dig the longball instead of being who he was. Now he's become an absolute zero at the plate.

Henderson hasn't been able to do anything since he got selected for the Home Run Derby.

I've had the feeling that guys who participate in that exhibition are tempted to change their swing and get away from what they were doing when they were helping their team.

    • Seems like a good thread to consider whether Mansolino has done a good job generally.   The O’s have been thrown out at home only 11 times, tied for 6th fewest in MLB (13.3 is average).   They have scored from 1st on a double 41.5% of the time, vs. league average of 38.2% of the time. They have scored from 2B on a single 62.9% of the time, vs. league average 61.8% of the time.   The O’s have been thrown out at 3B 6 times, tied for 3rd fewest in MLB. They have gone 1st to 3rd on a single 36.2% of the time, vs. league average 31.9%.   So, the overall profile is that the O’s take an extra base to get to 3B or score on a single or a double at a greater rate than the average team, yet they are thrown out trying to do those things less than the average team. Not all the credit or the blame for these things falls on the 3B coach.   And, there are some plays involving the 3B coach that I can’t capture, like scoring from 3B on a fly out or a ground ball.   However, based on what we can capture, I think you’d have to say that Mansolino has done a pretty good job, despite individual decisions that may have been wrong.  
    • Looks like AL East and AL West have same deal with 7 to play - 5 game leads and the chaser has three at the first place team. Royals now having lost 6 in a row - the 5/6/7 is fuzzy. Tuesday night will only be some fun if the O's pick up a game today - 1 back with a sweep going to the final weekend an opportunity, 2 back with a sweep going to the final weekend a mirage.     The Orioles have played the showdown generally into Grapefruit League mode, but at least yesterday was not a playoff game. NYY in great shape for 1 seed, won regular season series 4-2 over CLE, so effectively 3 up in the loss column.    CLE one of the few clubs with two off days in the final week, and a likely bye to rest that hard worked cadre of relievers.    That said, the Astros do play the Guardians the final weekend, and could be within striking distance of that valuable seeding into the ALDS round.
    • Nope..corn can be a slang for weed.  You are a morally bankrupt human being!!!!!!
    • Anything hit in the outfield no matter how deep you automatically tag up. That is learned in little league. This is not hard. I had a play exactly like this in town ball. You go back to the bag and then watch. As soon as the shortstop went down off you go and the game is over. Why that third base coach was pointing DOWN the line is a cardinal sin. Don't fire the guy but give him a solid scolding. 
    • Typical fail for SG on the literacy test.
    • So then I don't think he gets optioned. I think they save him for the postseason roster. I see Johnson and Jimenez going for Westburg and Urias. Mountcastle may not be back till the playoffs. 
    • For the O's they won game after game like this last year. For the Ravens go back to 2012 I guess. Im in South Florida at least you guys dont have to put up with the Dolphins. Now thats a team that will get on youre nerves.
