  1. Bo Bichette injured right knee rounding 1B … removed from the game.
  2. “… that ball had a family.”
  3. Blows the play? Your point about a better LF option may be valid. But, Schwarber busted his ass with a full layout trying to make the catch.
  4. @Dennis Taylor Cowser’s first ML XBH drove in the winning run in the 9th at Phila … O’s 3-2
  5. Ortiz is a plus defender who had an opportunity earlier this season in Baltimore. Defense was not the problem. He didn’t get untracked at the plate and that cost him consistent playing time competing with veterans Adam Frazier, Ramon Urias, and Jorge Mateo. They sent him down so he could play everyday. While Ortiz is Norfolk’s daily SS, he’s cross trained at 2B and 3B. I wouldn’t characterize him as blocked as much as the possible odd man in a large group that includes Henderson, Holliday, Jordan Westburg, Mateo, Frazier, and Urias.
  6. That 4 game sweep put the O’s on my baseball radar. Good pitching really does beat good hitting.
  7. Jim Palmer .. first WS W was against Sandy Koufax (I think).
  8. I think you're underestimating the tuna market in Austin.
  9. Yep .. SF RBI on 0-2 count. Might be what gets him thru some scuffling.
  10. I posted the standings to show what ~$68M could buy these days. BTW, the A’s are the only team spending less on salaries.
  11. … and situational relief in the middle innings is what the O’s need most. Too often it’s a crap shoot getting to Cano and Bautista at the back end.
  12. You don’t count percentage points? 🥳
  13. The athleticism and acrobatic play beneath the rim … errr net … is breathtaking.
  14. Reports of Gwynn’s reincarnation are premature. Arraez wore an 0-5 collar today … including making the final out with the tying run in scoring position.
  15. That was the important thing alright. But, there’s nothing wrong appreciating that kind of talent.
  16. Tony Gwynn is reincarnated … Luis Arraez swings a magic wand.
