I'm just checking in and noticed that AJ is 0-3... what's going on with him? Is it time to give him a day off? I'm heading over to the main board to start a thread... DT needs to give AJ a day off!!

Haha, and the replay after the break was of Jones getting robbed of a home run!

I don't think so. Nobody is really hitting here tonight. If from this game alone, AJ needs a rest, the whole team needs a rest then. Obviously other than Huff lol

That is just inexcusable, even more so with the figgin' play right in front of his face.

It's not like Zaun is some fresh faced kid whose never been in that situation before.

That was a definite base hit and Zaun made a horrific decision.

Exactly but that won't stop people from blaming DT for it.

I hope you're saying that about Jones in jest glorydays. You don't make the best hitter on your team ride the pine just because of an 0-3.

I'll be honest, I thought the ball Izturis hit was going through. With Zaun's lack of speed, he needs to get a jump like that to score on a single. Possibly a bad call to some, but it's not as bad as a lot of the blunders I've seen on the basepaths as of late.

Albers is showing much better movement lately. The bullpen HAD to come around sometime.

      Mayo coming back from injury could have his debut in Baltimore delayed.

      Wasn't a huge fan of his swing for that last out today but coming in to pinch hit with 2 outs isn't easy.

      Interpreting Malike's comment that way is theoretically possible, but I didn't take it that way--didn't feel that shade was being thrown on me at all. But thanks for the concern.

      People are being a bit ridiculous with the holier than thou takes criticizing a little humor. I am not saying what happened couldn’t cause a significant concussion, but it would be a bit of a fluke if it did. Mullins barely hit him with the bat and he had a helmet on. The fact that it was in the back of the head did make him more vulnerable, but this wasn’t the type of thing you see and think he was lucky to be alive.  Guys have probably hit their heads harder on the top of the dugout or on the fence making catches.  And note this comes from someone whose son has suffered severe concussions and who is well aware of the dangers associated with them. In short, people need to lighten up a bit on guys like Roy.  It was a little gallows humor.

      Yeah, you read that wrong. LA2 is one of my favorite posters here and he knows it. No harm, no foul. If you aren't familiar with the game threads, it doesn't matter what the team is doing, people complain about it and people did make that same joke in the game thread long before Roy said it here. Game thread in summary - when the O's are not doing well, it's insufferable, when they are doing well, it's mildly less insufferable. There, that wasn't hard. I'd appreciate it if you didn't assume I'm throwing shade at people. I'll leave that up to you to do, you're really good at it.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      Wasn't Westburg a 2nd round draft pick?  It's a little early to judge last year's draft.
