Cheating is easier, I guess.

The Adam Dunn school of off season training https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2012/01/25/hanley-adam-dunns-comments-infuriating/

Which makes the problem worse, IMO.

For me the All-or-nothing brand of baseball is unwatchable. MLB can juice the ball to their hearts content but I’m not going to support it financially.Manfred’s assertion that the ball was within limits is disingenuous at best.

Wildcard was robbed

This is the elephant in the room. I’m encouraged that his walk rate continues to increase along with his XBH percentage while his strikeout rate is decreasing. To me, these are indications of continued success. Hopefully

Of course it was but it shows that the age of the recipient wasn’t ever a factor. The award was meant to be merit based on a single season not a prelude to a HOF career.

Jackie Robinson was 28 when he won.

Me too. I want the Orioles to be one of those teams.

Baksheesh for buscones. It’s hard to spend international monies when the people that control the talent have been shunned by the team for years. Make nice with the shady SOBs.

Harvey had never pitched a 5 month season, let alone 6 months. He’s still in the early stages of his professional development. No need to push him in a lost season.

He’s in his walk year.

I’m a strong proponent of data driven analysis. But I also know that I’m way behind when it comes to grasping where the newly mined data can be used.

I would want advocates of data driven analysis in every position possible. For us old guys it isn’t so much as being Luddites but we are more skeptical of new ideas. We want to see something proven before we will endorse it. So we fall behind the curve.

MLB held the rights to DC when the Senators2 moved to Texas. Baltimore never had any legal claim to keep a team out of Washington. What the Orioles had was the DC cable revenue which has always been considered apart from the Baltimore region by the FCC. So Mr. Angelos did a masterful job of obtaining media rights from southern Virginia to Pennsylvania. The dispute is more about two billionaires getting into a pissing contest. A pox on both of their houses.

Firing Rob Manfred would be a good first step.

We should be blaming millennials and avocado toast as per usual.

My understanding is Statcast/Trackman data is closed proprietary so the wait may be incredibly long for public release.

Thank you. Since he has to added or pass through rule 5, a September call up doesn’t seem to be unreasonable. It isn’t enough service time to be of a major concern in my opinion.

Does Akin need to be added to the 40 man roster this off season?

I would designate him for assignment then release him.

They sold 32 ounce beers at Memorial Stadium, that should help dull the pain.

Lew Ford gives chocolate to puppies.

Orioles, Then any baseball or softball . Mild interest in Track and Field and Bicycling, The doping is off-putting so I doubt I become a serious fan .

Rob Ford more than likely.
