But then you don't get to play the hole with the windmill.

I hate that line about Machado. Entering his age 23 season he had already had two top 10 MVP finishes and a seven win season.

I recall at least some doubts about Grenier being a future plus defender at short even when he was drafted. I've seen nothing of the sort about Adley's future as a plus defender at catcher.

Some? I have yet to see someone in the business be anything less than gushing when talking about his defense. True I personally haven't looked at game film from his time playing for a highly ranked team in a major conference but I'm guessing there is a ton of it out there. I hate, just hate, this idea that what a player does in college isn't useful in projecting what they will do in the pros.

Yea, super 2 status is totes irrelevant when talking about someone picked 1-1.

Stewart had a hangnail, the O's killed the story.

If you wait to bring him up you have him under team control for more years in which the team is theoretically going to be competitive.

I was blissfully unaware of his comment until you quoted him. So thanks for that?

Isn't he the guy that has the record for most strikeouts without a walk? I think he's at 40 K's and 0 walks.

Something some folks thought they would never see. https://mlb-cuts-diamond.mlb.com/FORGE/2021/2021-04/21/f5024f8f-4d521f5b-fc41581d-csvm-diamondx64-asset_1280x720_59_4000K.mp4 No the runner had no business going and a cut off man was involved but still, it counts.

You might be right.

Yes, if he had thrown a shutout until the O's managed to score a run they would have had a much better chance at winning.

Early in the season yada yada yada. His OPS (1.052) is higher than his ERA (1.04).

The team is built to lose. Elias is probably sitting back doing mock 2022 drafts.

Elias.

This should cheer you up.

Just think how hosed the O's would have been if they had picked Posey with Wieters tearing it up in the minors.

Worst full season so far.

Brendan McKay is a thing, but he hasn't played this season.

I think pitchers just enjoy hitting Sisco with pitches.

I don't like the Manny comp since it was made clear that he had a congenital flaw in his knees. It's just a shame he didn't get them both fixed at the same time since it was going to be a matter of when, and not if, his other knee was going to fail.

Couldn't you just give him an IBB without throwing any pitches?

You think the O's might not be out of contention?

You must be taking Davis' IL stint hard.
