    I’m not sure why a catcher that completely negates any defensive value he provides and then some with his putrid offense is more valuable than a poor defensive catcher who hits enough to make up for that negative defensive value. 

    I get what you mean, but I feel that with all the young rookie pitchers we'll be bringing up it makes more sense to help the confidence of those pitchers that they can throw a breaking ball in the dirt by accident and know it's going to get blocked as opposed to watching a wild pitch/passed ball go by the catcher and thinking, "Oh no worries, he'll get me back when he comes up in 2 innings."

    Also, defensive minded doesn't exactly equal "putrid offense."

    Would like to bring Severino back. Understandable his arbitration price was going to be too high. Defensive lapses are annoying to watch but overall product for a complementary catcher is fine. 2.8 WAR in 254 games with us. .765 career OPS against LHP. 

    All we need though is a cheap, defensive minded backup to Adley.

    I guess I am rooting for an extra inning marathon that results in both teams exhausting their bullpens.   Day off tomorrow, but every little bit helps.   

    I hate the Yankees just a smidge more than the Red Sox, but I also feel that Red Sox fans have had way too much happiness the last 15 years or so and deserve the dissatisfaction of losing to their rivals on their own home turf.   

    I can’t bring myself to vote on this, even though I started the poll.   I just pray that whichever team wins is quickly dispatched by Tampa.   

     

    This. 

    I hate them both. It's never the right thing to hope for a brawl and some injuries, but if it happens I won't be upset.

    For the die hards out there that still haven't cut the cord so they can continue to watch the O's on MASN this seems a little messed up.  Why can't they still show the game on MASN and do an alternative option on Youtube?

    Now, if they want to show a Bowie game instead of an O's game on MASN here and there in the second half, count me in.

    Congratulations.   You’ll be “only” 4 hours from OPACY but also a stone’s throw from Norfolk.  

    Yep! 4 hours is nothing compared to 4 days. And we'll be frequenting the Tides, especially if/when Adley, Grayson and DL are there.

  7. After leaving Virginia in 1989 for Switzerland and having lived all over the US the last 20 years I am finally retuning to my home state and within a drive from OPACY!

    I would like to take the family out to a nice dinner in the area when we arrive mid-August. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to get a great steak dinner?

    It is the most important thing of all .I can swear to that from experiences I have had playing baseball including the LOST year.  I am sure many of you could also give real live examples of it in your lives.  

     

    Agreed. As someone with a crappy anxiety disorder I can feel the difference from when I was standing at the plate in college vs. something I am confident in, like drumming. Without medicine I could barely swing at one point.

    It gets lonely in the middle of the night when the sleep runs out

    When I saw that Roy had started a thread about you I feared the worst and my heart sank out of my chest and got crushed on the floor.

    I'm so glad that you're doing even a bit better. I think about you often and am still sending all the positive vibes that I can!

  10. Garceau is pretty bad. Not Hunter level bad, but still bad.

    Garceau at least knows when to be quiet and let us hear the crowd, like when Mancini came up to bat on Friday. Hunter would have blabbered all through it.

    He makes a ton of mistakes every game though that are easily avoidable.
