Ryan McKenna was getting barbecued all month long for getting playing time on Baltimore radio.
He is a bad hitter, but Elias keeps selling the fans on him being the best defensive fielder to why he is blocking the loaded farm outfielders.

I imagine it will be even tougher for him to sell it now.
He just literally gift wrapped a win for the Sox

That was a 99.999 win percentage dropped fly ball. Boston got a free win.
9 year old kids can field that in little league.

Bad pichting so far for the O’s, but the Offense (the OOOOOOooooooofense) looks to be in midseason form.

Love the aggressive baserunning, taking advantage of the pitch clock!

Take the series today and move on.

Yankees get on the board quickly with homers by judge and Stanton

Or just the starters in general

Rotation has been pretty lousy, especially Kutter. Houck actually didn't look too bad, the Mullins home run doesn't go out anywhere else. His slider looked great, but it would be nice to see him try to use his changeup more. It looked pretty good in ST

Rotation has been absolute shit let's not even try to even slightly downplay them or give them any credit

Calm down, I'm not trying to say otherwise. All I said was I didn't think Houck looked that bad, but he still needs to show a reliable third pitch if he wants to be a starter. The other 3 did look like crap.

Houck is a reliever. He even did well there last year. I think he’ll get bumped back to the bullpen when Bello, Whitlock or (gasp) Paxton return.

Whitlock has one more rehab start. I can't wait to have him back. Ditto for Bello, who should be back a little later than Whitlock.

I fully expect Paxton to replicate his results from my OOTP sim... a season ending IL stint after 3 starts.
