Had Frazier stopped at 1B, Urias doesn't need to draw the throw to the plate. 

 

Just stupid on Adam's part. Let Cedric hit with runners at the corners. 

[BaltBird 24]

Yup. Gunnar gonna beat that throw no matter what. No reason for Frazier to be trying to get to 2nd on that play.

[BaltBird 24]

In typical Oriole fashion... we get ahead only to give it right back up.

[CantonJester]

Oof. Mike Ford (definition of a mistake hitter) launches one into the RF SRO. 

[BaltBird 24]

Jfc.

[CantonJester]

Yeah that definitely hit the railing, which is why it ricocheted halfway back to the IF.

Team needs Rutschman to get hot again quick.

[BaltBird 24]

Santander getting hot at the right time. Tied up.

AS crushed that one.

[CantonJester]

Anthony! Tied at 2.

They need him to catch 4.5x a week. Forget this DH nonsense.

Miller's at 64 pitches. 

[BaltBird 24]

Let's see a quick inning from Dean.

Per your request.

Nice inning from Kremer even though Kelenic scorched one. Keep adding on.

KC up 7-4 over TB in the 4th. KC still at bat. 

[BaltBird 24]

TB will come back. NYY and Toronto both shuffling a bit. O's need to use this time to distance themselves from them.

Re: Adley...

He's very talented... but he's 25 now, we haven't reached July yet, and it's been a mild Summer so far.
The wear and tear of catching day-to-day is real.
The majority of his value is tied to him catching.
I do think you have to wonder what he'll look like at 30. He won't be 'fresher.'
Maybe he'll simply get more time at 1st / DH, and the bat will be that much stronger without 'as much' time behind the plate.

While I agree with the overall sentiment. There's a huge dropoff behind the plate with McCann on the shelf. ( There's a dropoff when McCann is behind the plate, but Adley can't catch 162.) The emergence of O'Hearn and Mountcastle coming back in a bit takes first base out of the mix. I say address it next year.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

His value is tied to catching but Im not worried about the bat as a C. Especially since his best tool is his eye/OBP. That wont age. As long as he doesnt fall off a cliff defensively as he ages he will be worth it

Good to see Ced back in the lineup.

[BaltBird 24]

Think he's safe. Probably too close to overturn.
