Got the opportunity to ask Enrique Bradfield Jr. about how playing in the SEC would help with his transition to professional baseball. Here’s his response:

[Luke Rollfinke @LukeRollfinke]

How many home runs does Seattle have this series that have cleared the fence by less than 3 feet? At least four, maybe five?

[Luke Rollfinke @LukeRollfinke]

Can someone inform the Orioles “pitching strategy” coach that there are three outs in an inning? Unbelievable that some dude is getting paid to put together this plan.

[Luke Rollfinke @LukeRollfinke]

@tylerbarberis_ Is he not already? Given Gunnar’s struggles, who is better?

[Luke Rollfinke @LukeRollfinke]

@editti22 The ball just sounds so different coming off his bat. It sounds like he’s playing a different sport.

[Luke Rollfinke @LukeRollfinke]

McDonald perfectly summed up what Orioles fans have dealt with for the last decade-plus. “The Orioles don’t” and they haven’t since they got swept by the Royals in the ALCS 12 years ago.

[Andy Kostka @afkostka]

MASN analyst Ben McDonald on the postgame show: "You either do or you don't. And right now, the Orioles don't. They are not doing it and they're not playing well right now. That's the bottom line."

Coby Mayo is approaching "worst player I've ever seen play for the Orioles" levels of bad

[Luke Rollfinke @LukeRollfinke]

Meanwhile, Coby Mayo, Samuel Basallo, and Dylan Beavers - the O’s top three
hitting prospects from last year - are on pace to slash .144/.267/.231 with an impressive .498 OPS. We were sold a lie about the talent of these players.

[Luke Rollfinke @LukeRollfinke]

Pete Alonso, Taylor Ward, and Tyler O’Neil - the Os three big RHH acquisitions - are on pace for a combined 29 home runs. That’s less than any one of them had in their last season before coming to Baltimore. This franchise is cursed.

[Luke Rollfinke @LukeRollfinke]

Only the Os could take this much talent and turn it into a losing team. How many hitting coaches can you go through before someone can successfully teach a bunch of “top prospects” how to hit left-handed pitching? It’s truly mind-boggling.

[Luke Rollfinke @LukeRollfinke]

Tyler Tanner is going to be a phenomenal player at the next level. Mark Byington is a damn good coach. Lost the battle, but the war is not over.

[Luke Rollfinke @LukeRollfinke]

All four of the 11 seeds playing in the first four are atrocious. There really weren’t any better options?

[Luke Rollfinke @LukeRollfinke]

@APlusBrackets @AdamKellyFA Vandy just won back to back games against strong opponents and proceeded to move 0 spots in the poll. So does how they are playing *right now* only matter if they lose?

[Luke Rollfinke @LukeRollfinke]

@ThroneSpud Vandy beats Kentucky by 25. But Vandy can only reach the sweet 16 while “don’t let Kentucky get hot”! Some high-level analysis going on here.

[Luke Rollfinke @LukeRollfinke]

@bepryor He’s gonna care when fans stop showing up to the games and wasting their money on merchandise. They have already been struggling to sell tickets… just wait until the fans get a taste of the “Coach Mike” experience.

[Luke Rollfinke @LukeRollfinke]

@NextNetworkJosh Yeah we are aware. No one in Pittsburgh is happy about this. No need to rub salt in the wound when our owner and GM are already doing it.

[Luke Rollfinke @LukeRollfinke]

@bepryor @JFowlerESPN @SeifertESPN @BenjaminSolak @nfldraftscout No one cares about these questions. Ask Art and Omar the real question: Why would you hire a candidate no other teams were interested in? Why spit in the face of a fanbase that you have neglected for a decade? This is a disgraceful move.

[Luke Rollfinke @LukeRollfinke]

Art Rooney just spat in the face of Steelers fans everywhere. The Steeler way is dead. A disgraceful and unfathomable decision.

[Luke Rollfinke @LukeRollfinke]

@ryanhammer09 Ignore the fact that he should have fouled out on a clear hook-and-hold the possession before. Refs were atrocious in this one.

[Luke Rollfinke @LukeRollfinke]

My two favorite teams (Steelers and Orioles) are now a combined 0-17 in their last 17 playoff games. I think I’ve tweeted this four or five times now and the number just keeps getting bigger.
