He didn’t hit LH pitching well in spring training, the team will face a lot of LH pitching early, I looks like they will. Maybe the rather he plays regularly at Norfolk till they get thru the LH stretch. He will be up very soon, don’t believe they are worried about service time

Queen committed 2 weeks ago to the Terps. Now who returns next year. What is killing then is NIL. Seems that has been helped. They also have a G coming, 6’4” , Malachi I think is his name

No

Cal Sr wore # 47 while Belanger was playing
-
Cal Sr changed his number after Belanger left.
-
#7 should be the Blade. Belanger could play defense. If he hit 260 he would be HOF. REally if he faced Guidry and Gossage a lot more he would be.

Grady replied to Billy F-Face3's topic in Orioles Talk
I saw a picture of the group. Was Cal there? went to all the games in both 79 and 83 WS, went to the DH and Sunday final ( Earls last game) in 82 -
Grade the Orioles’ draft
Grady replied to Frobby's topic in O's Amateur Draft and International Signings
Eddie Murray said this. What if Devon White named a son after Odibie McDowell? For real Eddie said this -
I wouldn’t call Kjrestad and Mayo chopped liver. Mayo might be the best power bat in the system.
-
Why trade with the dodgers? The Machado trade was a winner, at least Kramer is doing something. And are the Orioles ready to make noise in the playoffs? When Holiday is up, that’s when you make moves. Assuming Kresdad and Mayo are up too. I hope they hang on to the 3 and Rodriguez.
-
How does anyone know what type hitter he will be? You have r ma pretty good idea, nothing is guaranteed. He could be a better hitter than Gwynn, did Gwynn hit .400 in his first 50 games? The fun part will be watching him develop and get to the majors. Even better win a few WS either the orioles
-
From what I have seen he gets caught a few to many times. Does he have good speed or does he need to work on technique?
-
Wouldn’t fans rather see the young guys stay on big contracts ? If the team is really ready sure add a big name guy. Question is are they yet? Adley is pretty much a sure thing. Henderson, same but not so sure yet. Rodriguez, who really knows yet. Then you have the rest, somewhere in the group there might be another star.
-
Could the team be saving the free agent money or the money they have saved over the past years to sign Adley , Henderson and Rodriguez to long term deals before they hit arbitration?
-
Sunday Bennie Ayala ( for Sunday games inly) Don Stanhouse ( play enough years?) Don Asse Jim Dwyer ( ph alone) Dave May Pat Kelly Curt Belfry love to see Rettenmund he was a favorite of mine I know they are not allowed here, Belanger if better hitter HOF And Lee May, only player I ever saw score from first on infield hit
-
Disco did have a closed stance, exaggerated one. I really remember how good he was at hitting behind the runner. He was a key player in the 83 WS winners
-
Disco Dan batting second behind Bee was almost a certain run. Bee got on 1st, Disco moved him to 3rd with single to right, Ripken base hit or Sac or ground out to bring home a run. Then Eddie, if he didn’t do it Bro Lo or Reoniki would do something. Oh for the roar from 34 again. Leee Mayyy!!!

2022 early look top prospects
Grady replied to DocJJ's topic in O's Amateur Draft and International Signings
Why Elias and his guys are paid. A tough decision on Johnson. If he is the hitter they think, power aside get him. Gwynn wasn’t a power hitter , would you take a hitter like him? Hell yes. If Johnson is that get him -
2022 early look top prospects
Grady replied to DocJJ's topic in O's Amateur Draft and International Signings
If Johnson , a high school kid is the best bat in 2 decades why would any fan or GM not want him? Pay full slot, big deal. If he is who the scouts feel he is draft him. Tony Gwynn had small legs,chubby physique. Kirby Puckett was stocky ( Gwynn too). I would take a hitter like either. If he cannot play the field, pure DH. -
Pre signing 2022 International Signing Class discussion
Grady replied to Just Regular's topic in Orioles Talk
Younger days we played on same size fields in big tournaments. Using 3 outfielders not 4. 330 down lines, 380 centerfield. i get your point though. Kind of looked bad when 2 fielders ran into each other. Hopefully this young man is the real deal. Appreciate your comments on players. -
Pre signing 2022 International Signing Class discussion
Grady replied to Just Regular's topic in Orioles Talk
Good observations and love your comments. Be careful what you say about “beer league” softball. I promise my over 50 team would impress you. Not saying I am any good, just my team is. Outfielders get to balls better then you would think. Most are over 55 yrs old -
If you had watched Palmer in batting practice back in the day you would say him. He was every bit as good a outfielder as Blair. My opinion

Nats recent draft failure
Grady replied to OriolesMagic83's topic in O's Amateur Draft and International Signings
Should this be over on the Senators message board? I could give a rats ass about any Washington sports team
