I still don't understand why Scott isn't playing left and Reimold DHing. As far as I can tell, there are only two possible explanations: (1) Dave is an idiot, or (2) Scott looks really, really bad in the field during practice.

It's ridiculous. Scott is the best defensive LF'er on our 25 man roster, aside from Adam Jones.

I guess that's possible, but Thorne just said that he came in for defensive purposes.

Not that Thorne has the foggiest idea about much of anything.

Well, it is true that Lou played the Green Monster well in the first game.

Just three outs: Youk, Papi, and JD. Gulp. :o

    • “Clarke Schmidt made only one mistake Monday, and it wasn't a bad pitch. The New York Yankees starter thought Gunnar Henderson looked awkward fouling off two straight knuckle-curves, so he threw the Baltimore Orioles leadoff hitter a third one. It was sharper than the previous two -- not exactly where he wanted it, but close. With Schmidt's stuff, particularly crisp on this balmy night, close is usually good enough. Not against Henderson.” "I want to ultimately be one of the best players to play the game," Henderson said. "I feel like that's how I've carried myself." "I remember being like, 'There is so much talent in this organization,'" Coulombe said. "It's a lot. Gunnar, obviously, is probably the best one. It's hard to deny that." ESPN  
    • Aron Estrada starting to come around.  5 for 12, 2 walks, 1 strikeout over his last 4 games.   
    • The kid looks like a younger version of Jac Caglianone. Most mocks have him as a two-way player. He has the athleticism to pull it off. My son is headed down to Bradenton in August to start a post grad year. The folks at IMG think Franco will honor his college commitment but the 22nd spot bonus might change his mind. Would the O's be willing to develop a two-way player? Might have to completely re-program the Sigbot...
    • Yeah - he is fun to watch when he healthy and happy. Despite the myriad of arm issues, he remains one of my favorite players on the team. I got to see him bat and pitch in a game here in Colorado, (May, 2019) and the intensity he showed in that game — a bit of throwback attitude — at the time on a bare bones roster. O’s lost, 8-6, but he left the game with a 5-3 lead at Coors Field (Armstrong with the blown save, Givens with the loss), but I loved the way he battled and the enthusiasm he had on that not so good team offered a bit of hope.
    • Want to win every game but today would be truly icing on the cake. It would be great to have Mullins and Santander to break out.
    • Besides not walking many guys, I agree, Kremer has been getting pretty "lucky" so far this year. He's a bit of a gamer though and he's typically outperformed his expected stats.  Either way, I agree, he's needs to keep pitching well or could have some risk to being options for no other reason than to lose a pitcher.
    • Fernando Cruz is striking out 46% of batters so far this season. The Reds are off tomorrow, and we've kept Alexis Diaz on the sidelines by holding late innings leads. Cincinnati can probably look for the whole game from Lodolo, Cruz and Diaz as they try to avoid the sweep.
