  1. Too many people think of baseball payroll in terms of a salary cap. Money not spent the next two years isn't a missed opportunity; it's money that can be used in the future.
  2. Even though I firmly believe it's BS that AL teams have to let their pitcher hit in NL ballparks, it's hard to argue that it's a greater disadvantage than not having an extra ML starter to plug into the lineup in AL ballparks.
  3. Did you hear his interview after his game-winning hit against the Blue Jays 10 days ago? https://www.mlb.com/orioles/video/trumbo-on-walk-off-single/c-1806180483 "You can't hunt your perfect pitch". This is the thought process of a man with a .302 career OBP. Last night was another good example. You're facing a righty that is strictly throwing FB/SL. You know he wants to get you out with sliders away. Does he look inside, knowing the pitches away are unhittable? No, he flails at sliders just off the plate. Hitting is extremely difficult, but if you have the right mental approach, you can at least give yourself a chance. I just can't imagine a rebound unless he completely changes his approach.
  4. Please be on the west coast when I'm asleep.
  5. I don't like the way the rule is written, but I fully support them trying to stop people from sticking their arms out to trip people.
  6. Palmer using hashtags makes my heart flutter with joy.
  7. It was beautiful because you could see him try and stay back to make sure he didn't roll over into a DP. Just such a great and smart swing.
  8. I don't think it should be locked, but I think it should be moved to the Classic Hangout Threads forum. At this point in time, it just seems out of place here.
  9. <p><p><p>Hey, I just wanted to thank you for sending me stuff on Spotify. It's great having new stuff to listen to while studying for finals.</p></p></p>

  10. First Orioles Nation and now Fangraphs. Both of them stealing my thunder! http://forum.orioleshangout.com/forums/showthread.php/115045-Complacent-Reynolds-no-more!
  11. Esposito, Delmonico, and Bundy all signed. So...it's still a win.
  12. This thread was amazing when people were putting Reynolds in situations where his nonchalant action would be ironic. Now people are just putting him in famous pictures...meh.
  13. <p><p><p>No no...thank you! If it wasn't for you, I would have missed everything that happened while I was in class.</p></p></p>

  14. If what my dad has told me was true, he was a lazy bum. So...I'm guessing nobody talks about it because nobody wants to remember it.
