It looks like this thread went left … I mean right. Or wherever a couple of posters were trying to take this discussion about Jackson Holliday overnight. Good on you for feeling the need to express you political views. The only problem is that is a very clear violation of the rules. I believe it’s rule 15 that states no discussing politics. Now, back to Holliday… It was encouraging that he at least got another knock last night on a ball who’s EV was 103/104 (I believe). I think that the Orioles will and probably should continue to show patience with the youngster despite it being a painful process. Because of the upside of what’s on the other side of this. Look at Gunnar, Adley, Westy, and Cowser now. If we can hang in there, continue to score runs and win games while the kid learns, we will most likely have another stud by some time toward the end of the season (regardless of what his overall numbers look like). He may not win rookie of the year or even best rookie on his own team. But IF he can help us and make a difference by October, it is worth the sacrifice IMO. And many of us (like with so many other times during Elias’ tenure) will say “I’m glad that they didn’t listen to me”. -

It's not his best pitch. It has a 0-run value, but it was -7 last season. It's hittable if he can't locate it well. His meatball % is 9.1 up from 7.7 last season. I could have sworn he had a 2500 RPM fastball but it's 2200. Percentile rankings. -

Nothing was working tonight, but his fastball is the perennial question for me. It seems to need pinpoint command to work. -
