    But next time he goes 0-4, people will ask why Vasquez isn't playing more.

    Seems a win if we avoid throwing the ball everywhere

    We might as well accept the fact that Dusty isn’t going to play him much at all

    He straight up said he don’t want him in the field with ground ball pitchers or fly ball pitchers going, so it’s DH only basically and we ain’t playing Alvarez in the field full time

    Mancini has to be extremely frustrated, but it’s just how it’s gonna be

    Mancini Im sure really wishes he was still an Oriole. They are young, hungry, and on fire. He played everyday with those guys. Im sure he’s pissed.

    Haven't seen a guy where the ground he walked on was worshipped like him since Soto and Othani.

    What's interesting about it to me is that he's already locked up for the next decade plus, this seems more like a rehab thing than a performance thing.

    He was on an MLB.tv commercial last year during commercial breaks. Seems to think a lot of himself in it.
