  1. Just a one fans reaction from watching O's games on TV......

    Lopez obviously had a great statistical half, and there is no doubting the stuff.

    But he just never gave me that gut feeling he was hard as nails, like you want to see in a closer. I have zero stats or quotes to back me up, like I'm saying, just a gut feeling. Am I saying he'd wilt in October if he got knocked around a few times? No idea.

    As to the return, no clue about any of the pitchers. I trust Elias & Co. to have sorted that out.

    I love the Orioles and this 2022 team. Underdogs with the lowest payroll in the league. And now we are closing in on a playoff spot.

     

     

    A month ago I would have said you just finished smoking a fat one.

    This is a damn fun team to watch!

    Cubs didn't trade Contreras or Happ. Weird.

    I'm shocked..... The only reason I can think of for not trading Contreras is they plan on offering QO and didn't value any trade packages higher than the comp pick? Or maybe they want to take a run at re-signing him? I agree, weird.

    We just need a fake Ken Rosenthal or Jon Heyman account on Twitter to start a rumor now. 

    I almost got taken in by one of the fakes that said we traded Urias to the Rays and Santander to the Red Sox.

    That doesn't mean they're close to contention.  There's still a fairly long way to go.

    This.

    Right now is a pleasing pile of cherries on top of a generous serving of ice cream over a wide pour of gravy. Smiles all round. But the plan has to remain the plan... We've got to stock the cupboard even though we've had a surprising bounty of green beans from the garden this spring.

  6. I've gone from very high on Mountcastle to yeah, I'd let him go for the right price. Love the guy, when he's raking, it is a thing of beauty and joy. But his pitch selection is very poor, and unless he forces pitchers to give in and throw him a strike, he's going to be flailing (like he currently is) more than raking. A streaky first baseman with decent counting stats, but a poor OBP, eh, them be a dime per bakers dozen. 

    Making Mayo a 1B might be wasting his plus arm. A free agent might make sense? Keeping Mancini is an option and resigning over the off season. 

    My attitude on this subject has definitely become fluid and my mind is open.

    2 days till August and the O's have a winning record. (Smile)

  7. It's been something watching AR climb up this list after his coolish start. The C position went from black hole to one of our best position bats. His AB's on MLB.tv have become must-watch. It's like every pitch he sees just gets added to the Terminator-Style Heads-Up-Display in his brain.
