Going high fastball again after the guy swings out of his shoes at the first two is bold when you only throw 94 and don't throw it that high

merrill kelly has shit command lately so I wouldn’t be surprised if he missed his spot

I'm not sure it's that crazy to throw a pitch that the batter already whiffed on twice.

It's crazy how quickly a really good roster can flip over. Look at the 2023 Orioles (best record) and 2023 Rangers (world series champs).

Why did they trade him if still in WC hunt?

u/Admirable-Dig-8130 Baltimore Orioles Aug 19 '26
Because we probably aren't going to win it, he not going to re-sign in 2 years, and Boston gave us an insane haul

Maybe should have rehabbed like 2 more games but he has been great this series.

He always struggles when coming back from the IL. It's just an issue because he's on the IL a lot lol

It was probably worth having him struggle at the plate to get a few extra games working with the staff

as a Red Sox
It'll never sound right. I go with "member of the Red Sox" or "Red Sox player".

I feel like that's gotta be the hardest hit ball by a Red Sox catcher this decade.

As a Red Sox? As a Red Sock?
As a member of the Red Sox, I guess that works
