He's apparently close to being available to hit from both sides again. Hopefully it doesn't mess with his mojo.

A healthy Polanco looks like an AS to me. Dude is red hot right now.

Time for new trainers?

Hang that number in the rafter! He’s with elite company.

He's probably juicing and I really don't care if he is. Baseball was more fun with PEDs.

With all the top prospects we have would you deal one or two of them for Sandy Alcantara? Under contract for two more years after this one. Off to a rough start, but a good pitcher normally.

I figured everybody here already knew, but he was suspended for half a season for PED in 2018 lol. I wasn't just saying it to be a douber.

@wazzu31 you may get your wish...lol.

That lineup today leaves me a bit

the orioles could really use him.

That desperate are they?

It's been really bad. Watching them reminds me a little of early 90s Mariners. It's such a different source of anxiety to always be worried about pitching compared to hitting like with the M's.

Julio Foolio

Comes to plate in the bottom of the second with the bags packed and two out doesn’t wait for a good pitch out over the plate that he can drive and score. A couple runs.

Nooooo …. he swings at the very first pitch, a cutter inside barely maybe not a strike and gets totally jammed and hits a weak pop-up to the second base for out number three.

Absolutely zero discipline at the plate in a situation to take control of the game and drive in a couple runs and have a big inning and put up a crooked number


We wasted a lot of money on that kid and he has so much to learn about baseball. I don’t know if we’re ever gonna get much more than a low 200 batting average and a lot of strikeouts and a bunch of grab ass for the camera.

Damn! I remember those early 90's M's. Slugfest games every day.

Yep. He was looking at the busted bat handle like he got robbed. It broke because it was on the hands and he didn't need to swing at the MF pitch.
