  1. The one I rode in Germany was very nice. I'm in more of a rural area right now so we have to drive or take the bus.
  2. They certainly do a terrible job marketing the players. I know Trout isn't much interested in being marketed but I'm sure other young players would be willing. I think to a large extent they market locally without the league having much of a plan to market at the national and international level..
  3. If they eliminate reliever warm up pitches I'm making sure that the visitor's bullpen mound isn't the same as the game mound.
  4. Maybe they are confusing home runs with total offense?
  5. Fifty inch? High Definition? Look whose living in 2015.
  6. Please, after the back and forth with Frobby the other day I'm done talking about dWAR for a while.
  7. I think some players, Davis and Jones come to mind, look smooth in the field. I think the eye test overrates their actual performance. In other words Davis and Trumbo both might not get to a ball in the outfield but Davis will look better (not) doing it.
  8. No he wasn't. At best he was better than average at the position they put the next to worst fielders. That still puts him way down on the overall list of defenders.
  9. You are going to be hard pressed to prove to me that would be a superior product.
  10. I don't think they could have processed an order that size in 30 minutes.
  11. I wonder how long the O's streak of consecutive losing seasons would have stretched if they had been getting hit with draft pick penalties?
  12. I think mandating a 9 man pitching staff will just increase offense and lengthen games. Lets stretch out starters and relievers longer while increasing the weapons the manager has on offense. I know I don't enjoy watching a pitcher being hung out to dry because the manager has to save the bullpen.
  13. He did a heck of job making his fingernails grow like that without makeup.
  14. Some difference in numbers.
  15. Sounds to me like someone didn't get paid for a scorching first half. Good for Nick, he's on a good team.
  16. I imagine that at least occasionally deals are made just to control where a player lands.
  17. I don't think it has anything to do with service clocks. I don't think the O's had anyone internally that they thought could do the job.
  18. I think the sons are going to be more dependent on the team as a source of revenue than the father and that it is reasonable to question their commitment to spending money in ways they have never spent before.
  19. Plans have a tendency to change.
  20. We hope there is a lot of investing going on behind the scenes.
