AnythingO's

Oh good Lord, I can't believe you would post that here on an Orioles forum. It's about their obnoxious, entitled bandwagon fans. Papa destroying phone in roid-rage, how good it felt when MAndino broke their hearts. Their pink and the green hats, their propensity to argue everything. I actually PREFER to sit next to a MFNY fan at OPACY, they usually understand the game and know the players.

So, back on p1 I read Bleier jumped off the mound, threw his arms in the air, almost rushed past Hyde to the point that Hyde had to reach for the ball. Maybe Florres said something about that disrespect before Bleier questioned positioning. That might elicit a response defending Hyde.

Agree with this and I want to see Mountcastle here sooner than later. However, I want him to be wearing a glove when he comes and not learn to play LF in the Majors. That's the only reason I have for wanting him to stay in AAA.

CoC, I can't figure out what that emoji meams but "thankfully " and the BJs should never be used in the same sentence. Cito sucks and so do all of them.

I would do it again. Father had season tickets, had relatives that worked for Colts. Move happened in dead of night, no notice to employees. City was negotiating to improve facilities. It was wrong and Mayflower had to know. I'm good with being an angry old man.

Cheaper, unknown if better, but yes I did. At the time it felt like the right thing to do.

I have no illusions about scouting; but look at Zimmerman in the photo below and where his hand is. When I was at the recent OH game pitched by Bundy his hand dropped much lower before coming forward. All I could think of is that he was "reaching' for a little more. I thought that affected his "timing" relative to his lower body drive forward, basically making him do more with his weakened arm (shoulder). Am I COMPLETELY misinterpreting this?????

True story, about 12 years after the Mayflower incident, I relocated from Severna Park to Rolla Missouri on my own, literally Uhaul. About 2 years late I had to relocate from the mid-West to southern VA and the cheapest Company-sponsored option was Mayflower. I refused to use them and paid the difference out of pocket. I would do it a hundred times over and I hope Jim Ersay burns in eternal damnation! rant over

As to pitching inside, when I look at the photos of Zimmerman and Kremer that appear with the Minor league summaries, every time I think "these guys aren't going to have any issue with pitching inside". There is an intensity in their eyes that reeks of confidence.

Chris Davis just bought a permanent spot on the end of the bench if logic plays any part in the decision making. The Orioles need to see what Mancini looks like at 1B for the rest of the year. That has a bearing on what glove Mountcastle learns to use. He is described as athletic so maybe COF is a better spot but that depends on if they view Mancini as 1B next year

I think we traded Gausman just to offload O'Day and their salaries.

WC, Inn your response to Frobby, He was quoting you above. I believe you meant to put a question mark at the end of the first sentence as you were responding to another poster that had said Martin was one of the worst. At least that was what I thought you meant at the time.

PLus the $6 M deferred for the years 1-4, so another $24 M I think.

OK Weams, this time I'm in Row 14 seat 14, am I behind you now lol???

You keep Bleier but not Ynoa?

Or maybe how far Ruiz has come?????

Correct, but if they could get an agreement with him to put the next $51 M (3*17) into the pot of deferred money and stretch out the payment schedule, the annual pain wouldn't be so great. Yeah I know, pipe dream.

He is right, Bud lite $9.50 yesterday.

That's what you say now, haha. Serious question, it is 7 pm right, cause CBS sports says 1.05 pm?

OK, I'm in. Sitting right behind Weams. See ya

I read what you say about why you asked the question but I only see 1 way we have to make this choice and that is if CD is still here in 2020. If so I'll be joining CoC on the dark side of mgmt meddling, ME has hands tied. That said, to me to question is about projection. Will MC find a defensive position, will he overcome his K vs W issues that Buck publically called him on, is his bat that special? I don't see any evidence of that now. Is Trey the guy from 17 and this YTD or the 18 version? I feel more confident in Trey's bat right now than MCs. I believe Trey would be a MLB average 1B right now but jury is out on MC. I keep Trey and.trade.MC for that SS straight up and we.are.a better team now and future.

Wasn't there a list awhile back of the top 30 and all but 2 were committed?

It is the only school in the US that has degree program in Mineral Economics, as well as Economic Geology, Mining Engineering and every other geoscience discipline. They are elite, period.

I agree, my point wasn't about Davis, it was about evaluating how to deploy the current assets other than Davis going forward. I think Eloas gives Davis more time to continue to utterly fail, making the decision easy for the sons to.concur. Elias doesn't have to spend any political capital that way.

I agree with you but with the caveat of "yet". Elias is in.full evaluation mode of everyone on the 25 and 40. Whether Trey can be adequate as a COF is part of that IMO. He seemed to improve in 2017 but regressed in 2018. Elias needs a better read on Nunez, Mountcastle, and Sisco before deciding on 1B and DH. The coaches trying to "fix" Davis saves face in the near term and buys time. I don't expect Davis here in 2020 unless a miracle occurs. Then we wiii know.
