  1. Yea, it takes a tough guy to throw a ball at someone that is just standing there 60 feet away.
  2. I think that MLB has already stated that no players would be suspended and that backing away from that proclamation would be a poor idea.
  3. No reason for it to be a big deal, but the mob mentality has taken over. It's steroids all over again.
  4. The Indians were doing it in the 60's and other teams more recently (The White Sox and Mets have been mentioned). And of course the Phillies back in 1900. I think some of the outrage is designed to hide guilt, like folks did with the steroids. I would not at all be surprised if various players have been part of similar schemes at some point in their careers. But sure, let's suspend 50 guys for a year.
  5. How many guys are you planning on suspending? The entire 2017 roster?
  6. Unanimous CBPOTY. Heck he'd get votes for the National League award.
  7. I think last year was the rebound.
  8. Nope, I don't think he's going to anything. He's just raising the tension level for everyone else.
  9. Hard to confuse a man's meaning when he says something like “I feel like every single guy over there needs a beating.” .
  10. Yes, FORMER Oriole, current MLB player. Dusty on Nick:
  11. Sure, OBP derived from BA is more valuable.
  12. Replacement isn't a viable standard for a backup catcher?
  13. This is helping me understand the idea of not having draftees play the season they are drafted. I can see how their might be more value in work of this nature, in a controlled setting.
  14. I agree. I'd much rather see that.
  15. Is something that you obsess over. Everyone isn't going to be a plus defender in this game.
  16. I'm wondering if he started these adjustments in the offseason or when camp opened?
  17. Good, because his work behind the plate isn't going to keep him in the majors.
  18. I think it hurts his chances but by how much is anyone's guess at this point. He's so early in his career that he might not be Hall worthy in the first place.
  19. I'd give you two points if you named someone not in Orioles camp and you were right.
  20. And Davis' is a two strike count.
  21. This is sports sounds like an excuse. I was in the service, I didn't act that way. No one acted that way with superiors. Why do athletes get an exemption?
  22. I'm competitive, I've never been physically aggressive with a co-worker or a boss. I don't think "these things happen" is good enough.
