Corbin Burnes vs Cole Ragans

[Slidemaster]

Kansas City is an annoying team. I'd love to see them get to Ragans today.

Gunnar Henderson SS
Adley Rutschman DH
Ryan Mountcastle 1B
Anthony Santander RF
Jordan Westburg 2B
Austin Hays LF
Ramón Urías 3B
James McCann C
Jorge Mateo CF

Any lineup we throw out there vs a LHP is weak. Bottom 4 are yucky.

Burnes better bring his A game because I don't see the Orioles scoring more than 2 or 3 runs.

When we have to start Urias and Mateo you know its gonna be a tough night.

They both started a lot of games last year. (I agree with your sentiment but don’t rule us out, our bench players are better now.)

And what was our record in those games? I have no idea how we did but I cringe when I see both them in the lineup. Plus we never did that last year with Mateo in CF.

I mean Id rather either of them start over Holliday vs a LHP right now. Bottom line is we need better production vs LHP

63-33 in Urias starts
62-35 in Mateo starts

Haven't dug out the combo, but I'd bet it was pretty good. They won all the time last year, record gonna look pretty good in any split. One position player doesn't change the quality of the team that dramatically.

Hicks has been really bad overall with LAA. But still above league average vs LHP. Maybe they will release him soon and we can pick him up

[jamesdean]

The home plate umpire is off to a good start, butchering the Henderson at bat.

Where'd they find this Ragans guy?

Chapman trade, right? Don't think anyone expected this sort of explosion or else he obviously wouldn't have been dealt for Chapman. Shades of Arrieta but a bit younger and less experienced.

[Mackus]

Can't think of a lot of less probable things, but I really hope we re-sign Burnes.

[Mackus]

Hey a run! Burnes might be able to make it stand up. Let's get another though.

[JoyinMudville]

HYDE!!!!

[JoyinMudville]

A desperately needed hit by Urias

My heart is on board with this but my brain isn't

[Mackus]

I'd mention that this dude's pitch count is getting way up there but I don't know if we actually wanna get to the bullpen at this rate...
