Tyler Wells vs Ryan Yarbrough

[Mike B]

Yarbrough always seems to give the Orioles a hard time.  Hopefully we can get to him early tonight.

[Mike B]

Today's lineup.

 

Hays LF

Adley C

Mountcastle 1B

Santander RF

Mateo SS

McCann DH

Henderson 3B

Urias 2B

Mullins CF

 

Wells P.

Mullins has a 881 OPS against lefties this year, wonder how long we'll be focused on 2022 numbers.

[BaltBird 24]

I'm OK with it. I feel like it balances out the lineup.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Maybe hitting at the bottom has taken pressure off him. Hes not losing starts to McKenna like he did last year. So there is that. Speaking of which, in a big park I totally wouldve been cool with McKenna starting for Santander. But Santander sat Sun. So god forbid the guy sits a 2nd game in a row

[BaltBird 24]

McKenna provides much better defense and probably a better bat than Santander against LHP.

If one really wants McKenna in the lineup, then slide Anthony over to DH.

[Mike B]

You guys can beat on Santander all you want, but unless he gets going, as we approach the tougher part of the schedule, I don't think we are going to be pleased with the results.

He is not the only one, that needs to pick up the pace.

As long as the Orioles offense keeps a solid OBP and they can manufacture runs, they'll be fine.  But if you look at the line-up, it's not going to scare anyone.  They need to be fundamentally sound offensively and keep pecking away one run at a time.

Im fine with McCann at DH but yes I prob wouldve DHd Santander tonight and kept one of the catchers on the bench.

Although one wonders if "War and Peace" would have been as highly acclaimed as it was if it was published under it's original name "War: What Is It Good For?"

[BaltBird 24]

Is it a rule that every AL central team has to have 3 soft tossing LHP.

[BaltBird 24]

Leadoff HR for Witt Jr. Great start.

[BaltBird 24]

Yikes! KC punching us in the mouth early! Flashback of 2014.

[BSLSteveBirrer]

So Wells going to have a stinker tonight. 3-0 already.

[NewMarketSean]

3-0 Royals

I think they’ve set a record for most runs scored in a game this season.

[BaltBird 24]

Worst offense in MLB and treating Tyler Wells like it's batting practice.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

These SP throwing so many pitches. Christ

[BaltBird 24]

Another game where the BP will be utilized by the 5th inning.
