This isn't the shortest Orioles books ever written thread

I have no idea why Dwight Smith Jr. is getting playing time when we have DJ Stewart

Gotta agree with Drungo. Other pitchers on the staff won't make it easier for Scott. Finding some control will make it easier for Scott

112.1 isn't a ton of innings. Wouldn't shock me if they call him up to get more innings if they don't plan on sending him to the AFL. Although when you look at pitch counts his workload is probably the equivalent of 130-140 innings, so I dunno

Terry Crowley had a career OBP 95 points higher than his batting average and most of us couldn't wait to be rid of him as a hitting coach

Playoffs? You kidding me? I'll bet most minor leaguers have had playoff experience at some point in their baseball careers, whether it's at a lower level of the minors, college or high school. These are the best players on the best teams in the country Second, I'll bet if you asked most major leaguers if they change how they play/prepare in the playoffs I'll bet they'll tell you that the atmosphere is different but they do the same stuff that worked for them in the regular season. I just don't think you can get to professional baseball without having been in some kind of athletic pressure situation, in most cases

I'm not surprised, as I believe analytics suggest intentional walking someone is almost never a good idea, statistically speaking

Eshelman is fun to watch. His picture is next to the definition of junkballer in the dictionary, but he works fast, knows how to pitch and the command is mostly excellent

How can we call the O's family friendly entertainment with all this fisting?

Someone needs to take Gary aside and explain to him why he shouldn't say "fisted"

It happened to Barry Bonds at least once

I agree, but what makes you so sure his "true talent" is last year's .715?

Ssssh, I know that. I want to enjoy some good cognitive dissonance

2017 plus this season is a slightly bigger sample size than last year. So again, why is last year the norm and not this year or 2017?

Why is last year the norm and not this year?
