If there is a season in which you are going to deviate from your normal course of action it should be this one.

Nick Markakis, to this day, has never had even one hit in AAA.

Even if he faces a steep learning curve do you think any damage will be done to his development if he plays this year? Playing in the majors would have to be better than not playing at all right? Not like it makes a difference if his struggles hurts the team's chances at winning. Also, what do you mean he was demoted? How come I don't remember him being demoted? Are you sure it wasn't an injury rehab thing?

Now that officially no one else wants him the O's have a shot!

I'll have to find more youtube channels for you to watch.

Sure, if it doesn't cost anything.

It happened to me but not really. I tried to access another members message tab (just to see if I could, I wasn't prying I swear!) and mine came up instead. The whole board has been glitching these last couple of hours, with rep and posts appearing and disappearing.

What I saw yesterday is that all teams will be using it and it is in fact a league mandate to use it. I just wonder if the "home" crowd at OPACY will cheer when the Red Sox and Yankees do well?

So maybe after the team is moved to Nashville? ?

You have Austin Hays doubling off of himself.

Not sure if the allure of playing for the O's would be enough enticement.

I'm in favor of them talking.

Being below replacement level isn't a disqualifier for the Orioles.

Earl wasn't the manager in Glenn's final season. I will say that a bunch of walks with a low BA and SLG average doesn't do a lot. His exit velocities must have been just trash.

Earl knew. Glenn Gulliver.

I was fixated on GWRBI at the time.

He had an OPS+ of 100 last year. In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.

Hard to believe he would pick the Braves over the Orioles.

I want the team to be as efficient as possible. I think the margin for error is very slim. The Puig signing didn't seem very efficient to me.

Did he blow smoke rings?

Ahh yes, the novelty. I remember the novelty of Sosa as an Oriole, and Vlad. Good times.

Because they can't send end of the bullpen guys out there to shag flyballs?

It is almost as if folks are trying to set unrealistic expectations so they can call him a failure when he doesn't meet them.
