Dreadnought

I think playing him at 1st base is about maximizing his ABs at the professional level, while not having him catch 120 games in one year. The pattern in six-game series have been, catch 3-4; IB or DH 2 to 3.

I get thinking out of the box, but I don't think the baseball industry at large is going to adopt CoC's developmental model anytime soon.

Can you cite any player in any organization who has been developed in this fashion?

what was the dollar savings by downgrading from Igelesia to Galvis?

Team about to go on a long winning streak. The White Sox.

Who did you want him to bring in?

Late guys now will be Sulser and Fry. Tate could pitch his way into the mix. Valdez will be middle inning.

If only Davis was available.

Does anyone have a read on whether Palmer has been more or less passive-aggressive with this year's duo compared to with Hunter?

Does anyone know if the man and woman doing the O's radio broadcast travel with the team or do the game from a monitor?

Modern baseball. SMH.

We might have another inning where Harvey bats in the top of the 2nd - must be the best hitting pitcher on the O's - and then gets removed in the bottom of the 2nd. Brace yourselves.

Harvey gets run support, has zero effect on his performance. Palmer's views on run support are from old-style baseball.

Palmer is great with numbers, including LH/RH splits, but I don't get the obsession with how much run support starters like Lopez and Harvey are getting. These guys aren't going to pitch complete games or even into the 7th inning. Does anyone judge SPs on W-L any longer? Their job is to pitch into the 6th in theory (seemingly impossible for Lopez) and give your team a chance to win the game. If they give up three runs and the game is a 3-1 loss due to lack of offense no one is blaming the SP. I doni't see what getting bombed for 5-6 runs in 4-5 innings has to do with how much run su

The 60-game schedule last year was a negative in the pursuit of #1; not enough time for water to find its true level. The lack of Mancini had set it up, too.
