  1. Which is why you promote them the season before you make the playoff push. Also, you can't be afraid to promote your younger players. Maybe Frazier is better while player X is acclimating but is he going to be superior for the entire season?
  2. That's a pretty common response to trauma.
  3. Here is a scenario. https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles/bs-sp-orioles-rotation-innings-limits-elias-means-rodriguez-hall-wells-20230123-6kxqhyswjbg6xcx3fttx2wfpgy-story.html Now when the rubber hits the road will he bow to "common sense"?
  4. If only he would do something to show he was ready to be promoted.
  5. I firmly believe that if the O's had not forfeited their second round pick in the 2018 draft they would have picked Grenier in the second round instead of the first.
  6. I would be shocked to find out that Angelos didn't insist on some form of NDA.
  7. Two years ago I'd have done it, last year I'd have considered it. Doesn't make sense in the current situation. I do disagree with the term rush. I'd say challenge.
  8. Where is that Bryce Harper GIF when you need it? Found it.
  9. So you think someone should just go up looking to bunt every at bat? Bunting isn't come cure-all, the success rate on bunts isn't especially high and they also are almost always singles even when you did execute one properly. Can you think of a single instance in which a player "busted out of a slump" by bunting? I can't.
  10. Sure they do. You've never seen a guy flub a bunt? Pop one up? Bunt into a double play? Hurt himself trying to bunt?
  11. I think it overly optimistic to not expect them to lose as many arms as they gain.
  12. Would be easier if they can just teach this one to throw with both hands.
  13. Britton in 2016 gave up 4 ER all season and a least one of those were on a fluke play.
  14. Damn, the year Wilhelm put up 7.6 rWAR he mostly started.
  15. https://www.si.com/mlb/2015/07/21/baltimore-orioles-itchy-shoe-xu-guiyuan-first-chinese-development-prospect
  16. The Voth Experiment wouldn't be the worst band name.
  17. I'm just glad they released that Itchy Shoe fellow.
