As I said earlier, I would not be surprised to see him lose his rookie eligibility in 2024.

It might be a copypasta.

Ernie Lombardi?

That's 2025 not 2024.

Maybe he was having trouble coming up with names? With how the Padres are playing Salas I wouldn't be shocked to find him not rookie eligible for the 2025 season.

You don't get it, they are trying to say that by "being a baseball watcher" they are better than those of us that watch baseball and try to learn more about it.

Sigh. This year's team is 8 over their Pythag. The 2012 team finished 11 over their pythag. The 2016 Rangers finished 13 over their Pythag. The 2021 Mariners finished 14 games over. There is no destruction of statistical analysis. Those Rangers I mentioned above...they were 36-11 in one run games. I do not get this idea that somehow folks feel this need to discredit math. No one on the "analytics side" is proclaiming infallibility. It's information, it's a tool.

Or Termarr Johnson over Jackson.

And I'm not dismissing Basallo at all. Outcomes like this are why some of us were so frustrated by the lack of resources allocated to this market.

O's are 14th (out of 30) in K rate. Middle of the pack. If you bothered to do 30 seconds of research you would know this.

I'd rather have the future catcher over the future non-catcher. If Basallo doesn't stick at Catcher where is his future? 1B? Right Field? That's a pretty big difference. And the O's are going to need a catcher in a few years. (Creed Willems is having a rough time in Aberdeen ATM)

Hey, there is that sexism we dislike so much!

My /ignore list is filling up with your various alts. Can you just stop creating them the next time you get banned for violating board rules?

Isn't Bowden a clown that we can ignore? Or does that not apply when he says nice things about the team?

Would you rather have Basallo or Salas? Salas is almost two years younger. I saw you posted as I was posting, I figured you'd beat me to the Salas reference as I was checking stats.

His career and season OPS+ is higher than Hays. His career and season OPS+ is higher than Santander. Both Hays and Santander have pronounced hot and cold streaks. I don't understand why he is treated differently by some fans than the other two.

Do you feel the same about Hays and Santander?

No he isn't

No it wasn't, he saw more than two pitches!

Kinda crazy anyone can hit ML pitching if you stop and think about it.

And this is why we put up with the cold stretches.

Oh crap, now Shadowheart wants to talk.... I was kinda romancing the both of them...

Lae'Zel just kicked my but in the ritual duel. I hope she didn't actually drink that haste potion she used.

It's a noodle bar. https://momofuku.com/
