He has always had positive Dwar. I believe they thought his defensive skills would play at MLB right away. He mashed at Florida throughout his career and struck out about the same as he walked.

I guess by “folks” you mean me. Was trying to make conversation with you and point out that he struggled mightily in his first 4 years. I guess you took offense and tried to belittle me with your ensuing comments. I enjoy your commentary, but I guess I learned my lesson about interacting with you. I apologize if my original comment offended you in anyway. Go Os!

Please do explain.

That. Was. A. Bomb.

Ball in dirt the E always going to the thrower.

Arrozarena’s mid-length Sox are….unique. He sit at the wrong locker before the game?

Tyler Wells is dealing. Maybe we can all agree on that.

Probably the Rays. Yankees have issues signing players.

Gotcha. I my hypothetical world, I guess Adley comes up this year (after 3 years in minors) and posts his first of seven 5 WAR season. I think it’s consensus that Os don’t typically extend players, so not sure why you went there. Also think it’s not typical that catchers get extended. The Yankees (insert any other big market team name)get their man. Don’t kid yourself. FWIW I agree they are gaming his service time, messing with his career, and creating bad mojo for future negotiations and for future players. I also think it is selfishly the best thing for the organization to do right now.

Seems we may be talking past each other….So the be clear, your stance is that Adley should have been brought up in 2020 and should be currently playing his 3rd pre-arb season this year?

I mean, they could have brought him up and groomed him for The Yankees to enjoy. Sure.

Heading to OBX next weekend and a stop at a Tides game is standard operation for our family, so selfishly hoping he doesn’t get promoted until June

And took 4 years to post a WAR of > 1

Ball is gonna fly out tonight(hopefully for the good guys). First nasty Bmore evening.

Adley not in the lineup tonight.

Not a sermon?

Haha. When I read Frobby's comment my first thought was 'It had to have been a 115mph line drive by Stanton hit too hard to advance to second base' That man is a freak show. Worth the price of admission to watch him swing it.

Good pull. I was not aware of that.

Stanton up with bases loaded and 2 outs. What could possibly go right here?!?!?

About to have best start in baseball since ‘01 mariners.

Got away with a mistake fastball left over plate 0-2. Curveball gets him!

If he blows this, I’m blaming you

Let’s go Loppie! Do your thing.

If that doesn’t illustrate how starkly different the two organizations are, I don’t know what does. Org A spends $40mm on an international lottery ticket and trades him away for one month of a playoff run. Org B major league rosters is $40mm. So depressing to be an Orioles fan.
