  1. Simple, this is a rant you posted in Orioles Talk. Not sure why I didn't downvote the original, I must have been in a rare good mood. We have a forum for rants, if you had posted this there I'd have been cool with it.
  2. You know, a GM could use something like this if wanted to get owner approval to make a change.
  3. He probably would have froze up if he had tried to take a swing.
  4. Why #2? I wouldn't want to give what is basically a league average bat that many appearances.
  5. I know he failed multiple drug tests for drugs of abuse when he was in the minors. In fact it was rumored that the Rays put him on their 40 to put a halt to the tests.
  6. I think Diaz might be a hard sell since he had such a sizeable signing bonus.

    There is a school of thought that says highly dominant pitchers in the minors can end up with elevated walk rates since opposing hitters know they are overmatched and won't swing.
  8. Well they did change the ball.

    Stroman to Mets

    I just want to share this picture of Stoman's dad Earl, a NY city detective.
  10. It isn't. Career splits: RHB- 580 OPS LHB- 743 OPS
  11. I'll take those numbers over a whole season and be happy enough with it.
  12. Might be a viable strategy if Smoke was still a GM.
  13. 270 Could be, but wrists are really important for hitters.
  14. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/first-place-braves-lose-two-key-members-of-starting-lineup-including-one-with-a-fractured-wrist/ It's a fracture.
  15. I agree, they should be tighter on the messaging they are allowing the players. No advantage to the team in letting that data out.
  16. Better than throwing at a guy's head.
  17. The Jeffrey Maier call didn't make you ill?
  18. Food poisoning is always a risk when eating out. How many times has Carol complained to the waitstaff? Cooks always make mistakes. We can't take the risk of illness out of dining out. I'm in favor of getting things right.
  19. So one challenge that they know will be unsuccessful? That seems like it would needless slow the game. Honestly that sounds like a huge time sink, who would do the reviewing, the home plate ump who is probably zoning out by the second inning?
