According to Salty a big reason for the struggles is no Joe Kelly and Kimbrel. Yup, that’s been the issue. Not the starting pitching

[TylerD]

Damn good start by Hector.

Salty keeps exposing his low baseball IQ.

[TylerD]

Velazquez looks so awk when batting lol.

[TylerD]

Benni is on fire lately. Hitting everything.

[TylerD]

That sucked.

[Jasonbay44]

Salty keeps exposing his low baseball IQ.

 

Its legitimately shocking this guy was playing one of the most important, high IQ positions on the field.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

VEL's at-bat was a microcosm of this season's offense so far.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bogie is bogus.

[Jasonbay44]

I don't think Velazquez has any idea how to use a bat. That was probably worst bunting form I've ever seen.

[TylerD]

Loving the pitching at least. Perhaps he shall take E Rods spot lol.

[TylerD]

I jinxed it.

[TylerD]

Getting some good pitching today.

[Jasonbay44]

Velazquez looks good

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good stuff by VEL so far. If he keeps it up, maybe he could replace__________(fill in the blank) in the starting 5.

[jung]

Gotta' save Vel I guess.

[Nick]

Good stuff by VEL so far. If he keeps it up, maybe he could replace__________(fill in the blank) in the starting 5.

 

We should have a reliever start each game and go 2 innings. A starter can come in and pitch inninngs 3-8. Can't do much worse than we have been.

[Jasonbay44]

Damn, great catch by Adam Jones

[jung]

F-ing Jones

 

As good as that play was...it was even better than it looked. That was a tough ball to get.

[Jasonbay44]

By the way it is so odd seeing Adam Jones not in an Orioles Jersey

[Jasonbay44]

Good play Xander

[jung]

Salty desperately trying to jinx this escape.

[Jasonbay44]

Can Salty please not do anymore games?

[Jasonbay44]

I hate NL with a passion

[jung]

I hate NL with a passion

 

No hard-on for the double switch huh? I don't blame you.

[TylerD]

Bullpen out performing the starting rotation by a mile lol.
