Good Morning, Orange and Blue! So many topics, so little time. We’re hitting it hard and fast this Wednesday. Pat Misch-take I heard the fans that thought bringing up Pat Misch was a great idea when Taka II began to struggle at the #5 spot.

Arias turns 26 in three weeks and has a career .286 batting average in 242 plate appearances. He plays second base so we may see him log some extended playing time. Good luck Frenchy.
