Hughes is a guy we can hit. He throws strikes. We swing at everything. He doesn't throw the crap that we chase that is way out of the zone. He leads MLB in HRs allowed.

On the other hand, the Twins hit lefties very hard, especially at home.

I see a high scoring game. Os win 8-6.

Loved Thorne's interview with Buck, and especially this bit at the end:

"If you always take time to consider the weight your words carry, then you'll keep from stepping on your tail with your tongue"

Manny being Mantle.

Knees and all. Also, for those of you who did NOT get to hear the last two sets of the GD from Chicago. When you get the chance to buy or steal them. Burn them into your brain. And send me a copy.

      Holliday 2024 fWAR expectations

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      Worst case scenario, what is the number of at bats that would force them to make a decision on sending him back down?  Hopefully it doesn't come to that, but what would it truly take?  3 for 100 or something nuts like that? The reality is, we've seen multiple examples just recently of a touted debut (though not as touted as Holliday), flailing around, then back to AAA for a reset, and then success in the majors.  Bradish, Rodriguez, Cowser are the clear examples of this, and Rutschman/Henderson had the struggle but didn't need the send-down.  It might require that for Holliday though.  Hopefully not, and still too soon to make that call for sure, but you can't just bat .050 for very long without getting the wrong kind of attention, even as a 20 year old rookie.  You don't have to do great, but you have to do better than that. I do think he's looked better in some recent AB's, including the long fly ball yesterday where he just missed his first homer, but even w/ that, the K's haven't slowed down.  In reality, we are really just 1 or 2 batted balls away from this becoming a non-issue.  If that ball yesterday goes a few more feet onto the flag porch, this discussion is instantly different.

      That’s interesting.  My expectation was a 3.5-4 WAR type season. I still think he gets close to that.

      I hate that we can't get any information from minor league rehab stuff. I would love to hear what Means has to say about it, or the coaching staff, or Hyde/Elias. It's tough to have nothing to go on.

      Rubenstein didn’t do anything.   Anyone who thought that is the type of person who thinks if a pretty girl says hello to them they’ll accept a marriage proposal.

      From July 19 to July 31, in 48 PA, he had a .326 OPS.  Close!

      If he starts hitting, he won’t be batting 9th.

      https://www.theringer.com/mlb/2024/4/18/24132083/oakland-athletics-relocation-sacramento-fan-resistance-boycott   Hope I got that link in there right.  Thought I'd share this story about the A's fan protests.  Futile though they may (definitely) be, its quite admirable.  I find this whole story so heartbreaking for those fans.  Not that hard to imagine something like that in Baltimore; we are fortunate it hasn't and appears that it won't in the foreseeable future.  Seems highly doubtful that Rubenstein turns into a Fisher type - and honestly Camden Yards seems to be the ultimate defense against any kind of relocation - but you just never know. Anyway, even w/o tying this into any Orioles relocation angst - past, present, or future -  this is just a sad sad story.
