Then send Stowers down so he can play. Who the heck is this Aguilar dude?

IMO, a free bat who is the type of hitter that the Orioles should take a chance on.

I missed the Orioles half of the first. It is nice to turn on the game and see 2-0

Bradish looks like he has good stuff tonight.  Go get them Kyle.

[JStruds]

Bradish with a nice inning.

[JStruds]

Does anybody else remember when a baseball actually had a chance to last through multiple batters? The frequency with which they are discarded these days is astounding.

Many years ago balls were regularly put back in play when a pitcher rejected them. I remember one umpire said Palmer was the only pitcher able to send back a ball he'd already rejected.

Gunnar ks to end the Orioles 3rd.

[russsnyder]

This seems very narrow minded. I don't know how his defense was there in the minors.

If I recall, Brooks Robinson had a 3 error game very early in his career. He ended up being a pretty, pretty good 3rd baseman.

I agree.

I'm not big fan of burying a guy because a bad game. Good to see Vavra get some ABs tonight.

Come on Kyle, don’t walk a guy who hits like a pitcher.

A smart pitcher really knew how to use a worn baseball.

When you wear number 83 I guess you shouldn't be taken seriously. As opposed to Gunnar.


Side note: Stowers usage plus claiming Aguilar tells me everything I need to know about the Mancini trade. Fail.

I feel like the Aguilar signing shows how easily replaceable a backup first baseman is.

[Mike B]

Nice escape by Bradish.

I nam not sure you have to have a backup first baseman.  I liked the set up the Orioles had with Trey and Mountcastle splitting two spots..  

I like the Aguilar pickup, he may be able to play the same role.  

He is a big man.  He makes the Orioles tougher to beat in a bench clearing brawl.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

3-0

[Mike B]

Mountcastle with a blast.

3-0.

[JStruds]

Mountcastle say: but I'm not dead yet.

[Mike B]

Come on Mounty, get red hot.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Odor error to lead off inning

[JStruds]

Outstanding play rookie!!!

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Bradish slider particularly dirty moving to left side of mound
