  1. What's 5he record for most runs in an opener?
  2. If you have an all time pitcher, Standard rules have pitchers mound poison so the pitcher only has to be on the rubber. You know today's kids would have no idea what we are talking about. Honestly other than the way girls dress it would suck to be a kid today, imo.
  3. I know you were not asking me but I have no problem with it. He didn't blast the guy but he did let everyone know who the alpha is and the blocking the base could lead to consequences.
  4. Kjerstad will strike out more but he is a good bet to hit for a lot more power. I can see both providing similar value. With kjerstad having some real upside. More importantly the predraft writeups of weeks are almost identical to martin. Nick was a better pick than weeks by a bunch.
  5. Maybe we will get lucky and it turns out like 2003. The 7th best player was better than the 2nd rated 2b. I don't think nick with more power is a bad comp. Weeks is also a great comp for Martin. The truth is we won't know for a long time.
  6. Life has really been showing me lately that I am old. I used to post a bunch at one time. Now I usually just read what posters have to say. I am in the process of moving from Florida to Wisconsin complicated by having a heart problem a week ago. When I get settled up there I will renew my long overdue subscription. I will probably never post like I used to as I coach football and in Florida that is basically year round. I do really miss the conversations with bunch of guys on here that I used to participate in. Just haven't felt like I had kept up well enough to contribute much. But this is the best site on the Web and has been for decades.
  7. Pleasant surprise for you, disastrous result for her, jk. Matter of perspective.
  8. I went with 82+ just because. I know I am wrong.
  9. I was impressed he did not strikeout yesterday. Maybe sig found away to stop the Ks. ?

  13. I guess this is the crux of the questions many are asking ourselves about the O's thus far. Is the "true talent level" better than we thought entering the season. I think the offense is about what most thought it would be, a mid 700 RS with the upside of less than 800 RS that was power driven and needed to get on base at a better rate. Well thus far we are on a pace for 757 RS by hitting a bunch of HRS not getting enough guys on base and striking out more than you would like. I think it is fair to say this is what would have been reasonable expected entering the season. I think it is not to early to say the true talent level is higher than we thought on the pitching side of things. Is it playoff level? It is much to early to say, even though we have pitched at playoff level thus far, IMO. In games that our opponents have played against teams other than us they have averaged scoring 4.3 runs per game over 169 games. Against us they have averaged scoring 3.43 runs per game over 28 games. We have suppressed our opponents scoring over 20% in the games we have played. Doing this while giving up the most unearned runs in baseball. The pitching has been exceptional across the board even the goats have been good compared to what we are used to. Think of how many pitcher over the past few years we would be happy to plug in Hunter or Greg's number for. Now I don't have the delusion that we will maintain the 561 RA pace that we have put up so far but I also think that we will be at least 150 runs better than the 860 we gave up last year. I would propose that we can say at this point that the projection of our real talent level was wrong. I think it would be reasonable to say that have a 740-790 offense and a 700-750 defense which is better than a 72 win team. Now guys don't make me look like an idiot over the next few months, lol.
