Kyle Gibson vs Zack Greinke

[BSLSteveBirrer]

Lets go O's. Theme of the day?

 

Whack Zack

[jamesdean]

Win today to take the series and then prepare for a rough 6 game stretch starting Friday.  

[You Play to Win the Game]

Why is everyone so scared? Maybe those teams we're about to play are circling us and worried a bit too? O's are good. They're not going to turn into a pumpkin because of the schedule. And the've played well enough, where even a .500 or even slightly lower clip against the top teams isn't going to sink their season. This is what good teams generally do. They beat the teams they're supposed to beat, and they fight and claw against the teams that have postseason aspirations.

Right? For all the talk of how easy our schedule has been, Tampa's has been just as easy. Besides a four game series at home against Boston and a three game series at home against Houston; they've been beating up on the same teams we've been beating up on.

I would expect Stowers to be in RF today. Really expect they will give him extended run now. They didnt call him back up to sit again.

Missed the game but based on the highlights, last night was the kind of defense I expected from the O's coming into the season. Hopefully they're righting the ship

Our starting rotation has been very mediocre against mediocre teams. Scared? I wouldn't say I'm scared but the starters need to step it up or they're going to get eaten alive by good teams with strong lineups

[BaltBird 24]

O's are infatuated with Santander. Stowers or Cowser or anyone else won't get a chance until an injury occurs to Hays or Santander.

Agreed.

Santander has a 810 OPS since April 15th.   275/340/470 slash line. 

 

Cherry picking the date, for sure, but he's been fine since his ice cold start to the season.

Start Gunnar against the LHP, sit him in favor of Frazier against a RHP. Brilliant!

[BaltBird 24]

In no world should O'Hearn or Frazier be getting ABs over Henderson.

Unfreakingbelievable

[BobPhelan]

I think he’s banged up a little.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

He needs to be sent down IMO. Let him figure out his swing

[JStruds]

I think he’s banged up a little.

And for all we know, the all knowing metrics show Frazier and OHearn more likely to succeed against Greinke.

[BSLSteveBirrer]

I wouldn't have a problem with that. But if he's not sent down then using him against a lefty and sitting him against a righty is just dumb.
