I don't have an official O's jersey, just an old counterfeit Ripken one and a gaudy orange thing. I'd instantly buy this jersey lol. Apologies to Adam Jones and Nick Markakis

I've got an old faded jersey and have been holding off on buying a new one

I'd instantly buy one, yeah.
I also would be scared about what we'd be giving up so I dont really wanna make that move, but it'd sure be exciting

He would take Michael Taylor's spot

Only in the sense that MAT would be moved to a platoon role/bench role where he belongs. In roster terms, they'll likely pair it with a move like dumping Kepler for a nothing return (Yankees), or possibly moving on from Gallo in some fashion. The reality is they likeliest outcome is they deemote Wallner again, to maintain maximum depth. Whatever the case, they're not moving on from Taylor.

a couple posts above theirs, and given the timestamp, today's game hadn't happened yet

speaking of, can't help but notice Buxton returned to the lineup and the Twins immediately got shut out

I also noticed this, I'm not a fan. I don't know what the answer is with Buxton but right now it really doesn't look like sending him out there to keep trying is it.

Not that anyone ELSE was very good at getting poo poo done today. I'm coming around more and more to the idea of trading something for Bellinger, or any reliable contact hitter.

Now 20 drat times in 96 games. 20 times of 48 possible.

Win game. Lose game. Win game? Lose game. Lose game? Oh, win game!

The benefits of a stellar bullpen but a putrid offense. Add a few injuries to starting pitching and you get a few outlier brutal losses while you win games 3-2 constantly. If they can trade for just a below average first base and corner outfielder it would be a massive difference. They are rock bottom OPS for every position except a resurgent Yelich in LF and Contreras at catcher. Woodruff will be back in the rotation soon as well.
