I really wanted to see Mullins and/or Mateo bunt against Cortes yesterday. We had nothing else going on against him.
Well Ced

Let's go Coach Ashe! Strategic moves are needed for a sweep. Make it happen!

I remember how bad the '88 season was, how the team was a laughing stock at a national level.
Elias had two seasons with a worse record than the '88 team.

I get concerned that Westburg will be dealt in a package for a starter. I would tend to think that the future infield will include Henderson & Holliday on the left side. Duh! If Mayo develops, Mounty could get dealt as well. We cant keep everybody. Who's manning second & who gets dealt? Unfortunately, it appears Frazier will be this season with hopefully Urias splitting time.

My optimistic pick is 84 wins. I'm really curious to see our record on May 1st. I will be very disappointed if we are at or under .500. Looking over the schedule, I'm hoping for at least 17 W's by May. Middle inning relief has to perform to keep us in games when starter fails.

Didn't your pappy tell you about going up in the woods to use this metal thing to scrape bark off the trees, and they'd use that to tan the hides? It backbreaking work, you got paid next to nothing, and everyone died at the age of 37.
But at least the local nine didn't have ads on their jerseys.
The Baltimore Sun tans the Hydes as well.

I bet he won’t. I don’t remember Earl putting Belanger in LF.
I agree with you. I apologize for not having all correspondence relating to this in one post.

CF is not LF.
That is correct. My point was more to do with "the manager, Earl" making the decision on playing Blair. That's Hyde's call to rep Mateo in LF.

No, they haven’t moved the wall back in Sarasota to match OPACY.
To me, if you have a Fielding Bible-winning SS who is a light hitter, you don’t move him from SS. Either his glove at SS is good enough to endure his hitting, or it isn’t. Having a great defensive LF (assuming he’d be one) is nowhere near as important as having a great defensive SS. Play him at SS, or don’t play him.
"Fortunately, I played for a manager (Earl Weaver) who was smart enough to realize that saving a run is just as good as scoring one. As long as I fielded the heck out of my position, he was going to have me in that lineup regardless of my hitting. So I dedicated myself to making a science out of playing center field." - Paul Blair in Sport Magazine (1985 Interview)

This regime & team better find the way to successful years of winning and advancing to post season or I will be hitting my ceiling.

I think they are still a year away, but I still voted yes.

Teams like the Yankees or the Dodgers will sign him in a heartbeat.
"YES", there is a "remote spring training" chance the Yanks would.

For baseball relevance their label is Suicide Squeeze Records.

I think he's not acting like an adult and yea, it's a bad look.
You lost, suck it up and drive on.
You don't want to play nice, hit them with the old no comment.
Keep pitching well and in two years you can sign where you want for what you want.
Correct, plus he’s already making a smidgen more than a veteran like Kyle Gibson.

Love to see Hall make the rotation somehow, as well as great springs from Baumann & Zimm to throw a wrench into the think tank.
Plus, I’m intrigued by the addition of Cody Asche & how his input will impact the offense.

Also had no idea that was the Baltimore mayor. Dude looks like a middle infielder with a good glove and no pop.

Very close friends of my family saw Miller on the night he was let go having dinner at Geniere’s (a now gone restaurant in the Tuscany-Canterbury neighborhood). They didn’t know the news and he told them Angelos said his services were no longer needed. Miller said he evidently wasn’t “rah rah”enough to paraphrase and if it were up to him, he would never want to leave but it wasn’t up to him. I seem to remember him still maintaining a house in Baltimore till his daughter(s) finished high school.
Damn Angelos! Would love to have Miller back. When I’m having a tough day, I occasionally put on a recorded Miller call. One of my faves is a 9th inning home game 3-2 pitch with 2 down to Hoiles from Norm Charlton with the Mariners in front 13-10. I think you know what happened. Miller’s call sent me running through a brick wall.

Reimold was never the most graceful athlete, but he was effective at all areas of the game. Obviously injuries took their toll over time and he never fulfilled his promise, but he was a good player and a really good draft pick who significantly outproduced the two players picked ahead of him by the Orioles (Brandon Snyder, 13th overall, and Garrett Olson, 48th overall).
Lol! Those draft picks have now made my brain go Hobgood & Rowell

This is outstanding! I have memory of hearing this. I used to sit in my car at certain locations and listen to games because it was the only radio that would receive reception in Berks County Pennsylvania. Sadly miss listening to Jon & Joe. I grew up with Chuck & Bill. A bucket list moment would be an O's world series with Jon & Joe making the call.
