Alex Cobb Once Saved a Stray Dog that was Running in Traffic
Moose Milligan replied to OFFNY's topic in Orioles Talk
Might want to consider playing in traffic. -
Whatever, Drungo. Flaherty has the most improbably season ever, slashing .362/.490/.550.

Took pitching lessons from Brandon's dad, Brian back in the mid to late 90s in Northern VA while I was still in high school. Nicest guy ever. Brian had a stint in 85 with the Mariners and a cup of coffee with the 89 Athletics. Haven't seen him in years but working with him at his academy was one of my fondest memories growing up and playing baseball. Always rooting for Brandon cause I know how much it means to his dad.

Nick Delmonico's .370 OBP would look good in our lineup.
-
There's no reason to push him to Baltimore this year when there's obviously nothing on the line. Damn, it's hard to believe he's 23 already.
-
That low K rate, I wonder if it's sustainable.
-
Not really, Mancini's first full year was last year. There was a decent amount of speculation heading into this year if he was a mirage or if he could maintain or maybe even better. That is due to the lack of draft status and hype.
-
Eh, I think it matters. Hype matters to fans, which comes from the pundits. I mean, fans are excited about Acuna and that comes from reading the hype train.
-
People have been sleeping on him. I've said it often, draft status and everything plays a huge part in how people perceive guys. Trey was an 8th round pick. If this production he had last year was coming out of a 1st round pick, we'd be collectively crapping our pants. But guys from later rounds don't get taken as seriously because the lofty draft status and the pedigree isn't there. I would agree that outside of Manny, he's our best hitter. On some nights, he's the only one worth watching.

Fun article. Yes, too many relievers, impossible to keep track of them all. Bleier tops the list. If you have a second, watch Makita's video. Dude throws slow, slower and slowerer. http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/23095176/your-new-favorite-reliever-power-rankings-eight-guys-love-never-heard-of

Me? No. Not sure about Mike Wright.
-
This is good news about Cortes. Bad news is that Mike Wright is still around.
-
Palmer can do what he wants, as far as I'm concerned. Manny's hair looks stupid. But when you're from Miami, I don't expect much.
-
Well, this is positive. Hopefully he continues to shine and has a good season. If he could somehow OPS .800+ that'd be a surprising season.
-
Yeah, I guess you're right. I dunno.
-
Blech, 14 strikes and 9 balls.
-
Lighten up man, it was a joke.
-
Where else would you hit the ball? If you try to hit it where it's not pitched, you'll swing and miss.

Certainly rooting for Nick to get to 2,000. 2,500 would be fantastic for him. Still never understood where his power went. I hope that doesn't hold him back. I hope the fans in Atlanta love him as much as we do, too.
-
Well you're just hard as hell to impress, aren't you?
-
They don't have to have a guy like Kershaw, especially with the offense they cultivating. If you've got three guys that have a 3 ERA and a bullpen with guys like Betances and Chapman, you should be ok. If Tanaka can get it figured out they'll be in good shape.
-
What, you got a time machine?
-
It's certainly not a bad one. Tanaka is the only one really holding them back. Where would we be with three starters that had ERA's under 4?
