There are always going to be "pollyanna" fans that seem to think if you show any concern, even when you have the statistics to prove the concerns, will just laugh it off. I haven't seen anyone say he's a bust or that he'll never hit in the majors, but it's been 8 games of absolutely domination. Even Cowser last year made some good contact at times and walked some during his terrible performance. Now Cal Ripken took his lumps in his short debut at the end of 1981 slashing .128/.150/.128/.278 in 39 PAs similar to Holliday though he "only" struck out 9 times in those 39 PAs. I have little doubt Holliday will figure things out, and it very well may start coming soon, but once he gets on that 50 PA range, the Orioles need to make an assessment of what good for the team this year and whether Holliday may need a reset back in AAA. Many good players have needed to go back to the minors after learning what didn't work in the big leagues. Who knows, maybe the Orioles knew some things wouldn't work but needed Holliday to fail before he would make some changes? I don't know honestly and I'm not a hitting instructor. I just know that I'd feel better if he were driving the ball more often and just whiffing a lot less. That whiff rate is unsustainable. -

Here's an interesting case I came across It would seem the base runner that had advanced to second on the prior play not out despite that play showing "1X2", it was cancelled by 6E4. Anyone want to weight in? -

How’d you like the show? I don’t know exactly what they’ll do or how they’ll do it, but I’m expecting Rubenstein and Bloomberg to team up and make huge progress on the mess that is MASN. Both legally and production-wise. I think it’s a huge priority for Rubenstein.
