    Vintage JV performance. Pitching so well even his own team can't hit the ball.

    Yesterday, was game clincher yesterday by pitching K.Ort. Use high leverage pitchers no these Red Sox, or Yankees passed overs. (C.Ferguson). We can't rely the Mariners to keep imploding eventually they will have their heads out of their @#$#@

    Oakland and the Angels have been playing better baseball in the past couple of months, Rangers don't like them so there's an X factor there.

    Was Dusty managing that game?

    That looked exactly like a Dusty getaway game.

    That was ugly.

    We'll have road Alverez...hell, road Astros who have a 7 game road winning streak going. Grand Slam drought will be broken in this series.

    If we play like this we will get swept. The Orioles are scuffling with all their injuries but we might be the start of their revival. Today the Astros played like a loser last place trash team.

    Yordan played a ball poorly off the wall today allowing a run to score.

    He is not a good fielder and Baltimore has a big LF.

    He really needs to be DHing all 4 of those games which puts a weak bat in the OF

    And from the quote from Bregman, takes him out of the lineup since it looks like he can only DH right now.

    If Bregman needs to DH, Yordan will have to run around that large left field.

    It will be Dubon all 4 games. He won’t do anything.

    I remember seeing @Wulaw Horn post that he had some inside sources say this was going to be ongoing lingering issue for the rest of the season. Big yikes man.

    Bregman's probably not going to risk playing defense for the rest of the season. He's due up for a contract. This is very concerning.

    As long as Bregman can only DH, Yordan is in left.
    Why oh why didn't they give him practice and reps at 1b in case of emergency.

    Mickey Mantle played 1b for the Yankees late in his career specifically because his knees were shot!

    Yordan would be an absolute disaster at 1B.
