Odd outing for Eddie tonight. Threw a lot of strikes, seemed to get a little more swing and miss, but still ended with only 3 Ks. On the other hand, the Orioles barely had any hard contact.

And that's why Chafin makes the big bucks...

Good inning for the offense... actually taking advantage of a pitcher on his third time thru as opposed to making them look like CY

That one is definitely a base hit....

TORK! (We'll take it)

Willi!!!

And that one ties Oriole great Eddie Murray for 504...

Miggggy!

It's so bad this year, and isn't just the Tigers. You'd think they would want to tighten up in a time when so many are clamoring to replace them

Have the Orioles hit a ball hard tonight?

Good Lord, Roboumps please

They will know they are done rebuilding when he's the worst hitter in the lineup lol

Seems pretty rehabbed to me

Gotta say, Kevin Brown and Ben McDonald on MASN are fantastic... yet another crew that leaves Shep and crew in the dust

Well, there's your one run ERod... make it count!

Lol, Orioles gave ERod a nice inning there

Do the Orioles have a single hard hit ball yet? Geez

Pretty much.

The whole premise of Eric Haase is built around the bat. The defense at catcher is flawed compared to Barnhart and the other catching options, left field he's underwhelming, etc. So if he's not hitting and doesn't recapture the magic, there's nothing else really justifying him being here. I do think they would be concerned with him being claimed by another org, which he likely would be with his #'s last year. Otherwise they would have cut him at roster reduction and kept Garneau

Related, I'll ask again: who should be held criminally liable for an abortion in a post-Roe world? For anyone who is ideologically committed to the cause, these all seem like really simple questions, and it's hard to get straight answers to any of them.

Regarding Torkelson, just noticed this browsing around, his numbers through this point in his career aren't far off of Aaron Judge's in 2016: Tork: Judge: Who knows, maybe he'll still work out.

AJ Hinch?

Just so we are clear, this isn't an inpatient at a mental health facility, this is a member of leadership of a major political party.....

It's been interesting hearing how many people have been asking whether it's time to replace Soto with Fulmer when, in terms of production, maybe the better question is whether Lange should get a look at the high leverage/closer role. Either way, the bullpen is legitimately much better than last year (adding Chafin, Lange/Vest have been an upgrade over Cisnero/Funkhouser, Peralta is actually a reliever, etc.), but Fulmer and Soto being question marks isn't helpful at all. And both are contributors to the high xFIP numbers.
