Looking back it is hard to argue with Cal here.
Tremendous talent but sometimes I see him out there and he looks like a little kid playing with adults.
Give him most of the summer and see where he is in August. And I still think his leg kick is more of a detriment than a help. I went back and looked at his minor league highlights from last year and he had zero leg kick. In fact his right foot never really left the ground other than raising it up its toe a little.
Why they decided to do the high step is a mystery to me.

If the bolded is true, they are most likely talking to someone (if not Gunnar - Adley). Rubenstein is no idiot (like John Angelos was). He knows that the long term viability from a business standpoint is not in allowing #35 and #2 get away and go elsewhere. For those who have been to games this season, it is clear to see from all of those jerseys around the stadium who the fans have fallen in love with. Extensions are standard operating procedure in MLB currently (even for the lowest budget teams not name Athletics). The Orioles under JA were operating as an outlier. That trend is very unlikely to continue under Rubenstien. He appears to care too much to allow that to happen.
IMO the Orioles must retain at least one of Gunnar or Adley AND others if they want to grow their fanbase in the market. You have to have a face or 2 of the franchise to sell and for people to continue to come see and fall in love with. Long gone are the days when people are simply loyal to institutions.
Fans like winning more than the name on the back of the jersey.

Baumann is not good at pitching. Not a loss. Even when he throws strikes, his FB is straight as an arrow and gets absolute crushed. He has the deer in headlights look at all times. I gave up hope on him a long time ago.

I’m going to take advantage of my kids youth games getting rained out to go see the Os play. Kiddos get the much needed day off from baseball so…..we are going to go watch baseball.

Roch just tweeted that Grayson is starting today. Baumann DFA'd.
I guess they opted for the Lambo and not the pick-up. Haha - so good @Just Regular

Personally, the way Irvin has pitched the last four times out, I wouldn’t want to be skipping him. I’d be skipping Kremer to let that blister of his heal up.
For sure. And take advantage of OPACY with the lefty.

The Orioles haven’t been swept in 106 consecutive regular season series.

I watched the Kevin Hart Netflix special last night. He was receiving the Mark Twain award at the Kennedy Center. Ruby got a little face time in the audience at the beginning of the show. Sitting right up front.

Silly question....why aren't stolen bases taken into account for OPS? Just logically there is great value in being able to turn a walk (or of course a single) into essentially a double. In this new era of baseball speed importance is heightened. If Bradfield can find a way to get, and keep, his OBP near .320 he becomes a serious weapon.
OPS is a batting stat combing SLG & OBP. I get your point and agree. He doesn’t need to slug if he’s getting on base at a good clip. He’s an exciting player with a good head on his shoulders and I’m pretty confident he’s going to figure it out and be a difference maker on both sides of the field.

I’d like 1 more run before we bring in Kimbrel.

Cowser adjusted his approach and took a walk instead of getting an XBH.

Somewhere in CA Roy is still a nervous wreck and screaming “we need more runs” at his TV
