Just hours before the deadline, the Orioles announce that they have signed Brandon Koch. He's a 6'4", 210 pound righthander from Temecula Valley HS in California. He had been committed to play at UC Riverside.

I'd speculate he received something close to, if not a 100 K bonus, to sign.

So everything left in the piggy bank.

100K wouldn't count against that. By my rough estimates he could get about $115K.

There's not much info out there on Koch except that he's got the prototype body and a nice, simple delivery, and a ton of top college programs wanted him. PG had him topping out at 87 last September, but this year he led Temecula Valley to a championship, so chances are he raised his stock a bit since then. Plenty of projection, too.

Burland was the guy I really wanted to see signed, but that was always a long shot. Koch was as well, but

      68% Strike Rate (sorry if this upsets anyone, lol). Needed 105 pitches pitches to get through 5 innings though.

      On the one hand, the streak is cool, and I really like looking back at the lineups the O's were running out there the last time they were swept in the regular season just to see how far they've come as an organization. On the other hand, every time the streak is brought up it just reminds me of the ALDS whether or not it counts, and you can't brag about the streak around fans of other teams or they'll throw the ALDS in your face. It would be like if it got constantly brought up that Ubaldo Jimenez never gave up a walkoff home run.* *in the regular season

      Mayo > Urias?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      Some posters/fans want to get rid of good players like O’Hearn and Mountcastle because they believe the younger players will eventually be better. In the scenario that you laid out, where Santander’s spot in RF is the only place available next season, I’m not sure that Kjerstad is the better player than Mayo. Mayo is a good bit younger and Kjerstad is not good with the glove. At least Mayo has a very good arm, so he may not be worse than Kjerstad in RF. Additionally, Mayo is more of an asset by helping to balance out the lineup due to his RHH.

      Yeah, he did.  But if it's not one thing with him, it's another.

      The Worst Experience I’ve Ever Had at a Game the O’s Won (By Far)

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      The move I like for Nats games is to park at the Greenbelt Metro, take the metro in.  Then either take the metro back to Greenbelt after the game or just get an uber/lyft.  Traffic on 295 is literally hell on earth.

      Sorry for Frobby and his experience. My friend had a near identical one minus losing the cell phone part driving from Rockville last year for the O’s at nats game. I told him to take the metro and he ended up driving and let’s just say with the traffic and the garage which took about 40 mins to park when he was a block away and some of the other issues at the park left such a horrible taste he’s vowed to never go back. I used to live in Bethesda and now Old Town (Alexandria) so I’ve always taken the metro into nats or Hoyas games but that’s all dropped down considerably thanks to the Hoyas being terrible and constant issues with the metro which seems to never be resolved. If you haven’t already I would jump on your iCloud on your computer and see if anything was backed up without you noticing. Good luck

      I don't really know. I'd have to do some research to see if walk rates track with the league rates. Maybe he gets called up and sees his free passes go down by 44%? All I really know is there are a lot of walks in the minors today.
