I will be there 3/21 - 3/28. We are hoping to catch one of the final two games. My kids want to see some of the minor league camp and hopefully catch up with Adley as he went to HS nearby.
Did anyone have trouble buying tickets through the "pre-sale" link the Orioles sent? It kept erring out on me.

As long as there's no structural damage you might be right
Like a hamstring pull it depends on the severity. The way he was reacting has me fearing that this isn’t some mild strain a recreational jogger gets. We will be lucky to have him in 3 weeks.
We will know more on Tuesday. Any over 30 athlete will tell you it’s not the day after but the second day after that really hurts.

I can't see the Patriots letting Lamar Jackson beat them.

I don’t recall a bigger smack down on a home team in a hyped game on national TV in a long time. Nittany Lions were bigger, faster, stronger and better coached. Terps will struggle he rest of the way.

This quote tells me there was a clash of philosophies:
“I’m not happy, not at all, that they don’t see a value in what I do. And they’ll spin it some other way: A reallocation of resources and new people and a different, fresh set of eyes,” Surhoff said. “OK, except my eyes have 35 years of experience in pro ball.”

I see a win against Rutgers and a close loss against Indiana at home. Other than that I see a lot of boat race losses. The inability to develop guys to win in the trenches and failure to develop a QB continues to doom this program.

More like Tyler Blowout.
Blach is having the worst inning I’ve seen in a LONG time

I would keep an eye on Mick Abel. Upper 90's FB, flashes plus slider, command coming around and working on a changeup but hard throwing HS all need to work on that. It will be interesting to see how much weight he adds to his frame this fall/winter and how he progresses next spring.
I’ve seen Mick against our local HS and at my son’s baseball sacademy. Kid throws easy gas and a humble kid.

Going with the former Orioles' theme: I wonder whether Chris Tillman, who last pitched 4 innings for the Rangers' AAA team in August last year, has had any thoughts on trying to return? He's a free agent and apparently hasn't pitched competitively in a year... so, maybe with a fresh arm the 31-year old could make a go of it. I know he was bad at the end there, but he was pretty solid a few years ago. While the likelihood of him getting that quality form back is remote, one nevers knows. I wish him well, regardless.
I’m surprised that Tillman hasn’t gone up to Driveline in Seattle or a few of the other schools known for increasing velocity and helping in pitch design. I guess he’s just given up and content in retirement.

My friend teaches HS math with ARs mom. I texted her to see if Mrs R is giving any “tells”.
I really hope it’s Adley.

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, I didn't see it.
The Athletic has an excellent article on the Astros approach to minor league pitching development. Take a look at it if you have the subscription.
It sounds like Holt was a great hire for the O's and perhaps they will adopt/improve the Astros' cutting edge approach.

Great article in today's "The Athletic" about Rutschman.

What other progress has been made? Any technological advancements? Any key hires?

Not the best choice of terms when discussing Mauer.
Oops, yeah forgot about that.
Fine career though.

That’s really tough, Wieters is a little below the median outcome for a 1-1 overall pick, maybe 35-40% percentile 1-1 outcome. So I guess I’d go a different direction.
What if you could get Joe Mauer like production out of Adley? Both guys were tremendous athletes at similar age, both sweet, efficient swings.
No brainer.....

Hey Luke, what do you think of HS junior Mick Abel? He's climbing and should be Top 5 in the 2020 Draft.
I'm always amazed at the talent in the Portland area.

I've always thought Wieters had a really looooooooooong swing and didn't have great bat speed. Together he never seemed to be able to catch up with a good fastball.
Rutschman's swing seems more efficient therefore he is better equipped to turn around a good heater.

I thought it was a hand injury, did he get a bad shoulder working back from the hand injury?
Nope, you're right. It is his hand. Discomfort due to blood clots. It's a real shame as he's a great kid. During school breaks he works out at my son's baseball academy and helps the younger kids.
-
Might also be thinking of another player in Oregon, Oregon Ducks pitcher Kenyon Yovan, he's been out most of the year with a bad shoulder and he was supposed to be 3-4 round.

Two oppo tacos for Rutschman today. The guy is a beast.

I've been one of those guys who was at Defcon 3 at work. God only knows what the dude in the stall next to me was thinking.
I was working at the office building that houses the Galleria & Renaissance Hotel. A few colleagues (beautiful young 23 year old women) and I decided to eat Chinese for lunch at what was then a restaurant directly across Lombard St from our building. I think it was called The China Room at night. Anyway...BIG MISTAKE!
So we finished lunch and headed out of the restaurant when all of the sudden my stomach started gurgling and I could barely hold it in. These chicks wanted to go to a nearby candy store at harborplace but I had to make up a lame excuse why I couldn't go with them as I walked hurriedly w/my butt cheeks clenched to get back to the office.
The Astros and Red Sox Punishments
in Orioles Talk
Posted
It will be interesting to see how comparable the punishment is for the Red Sox. Does Manfred dare as severely punish the almighty Red Sox and their national fan base?
