    Connor Norby 2023

    in Minors

    I feel bad for someone like Norby. On another team he probably has a shot at a call up right now, and definitely a shot at the roster next season. For the orioles he’s barely in the discussion.
     

    Playing careers don’t last forever, it feels like there should be a better way for minor leaguers to be able to move rather than being help as depth at triple A

    Yeah we were that awful team so recently I actually am taking no extra joy by smashing them into the ground.  Its a real sad sight now with them going to move to Las Vegas and losing a 100 games a year.  But so happy the Orioles are past that stage. 

    I feel bad for A's fans. They can't even look forward to the end of the rebuild. They don't deserve how they're being treated

    I feel as if this year should’ve done a better job convincing people of the diff between avg cf and very good. 
     

    The number of cfs right now that are both above avg offensively and defensively is very small. 
     

    With who we have right now, Mullins is up there for most irreplaceable on the team. If that changes can revisit it then

    I've criticized Melanie Newman a lot in these game threads, but since I didn't have MLB.TV hadn't seen any of her post-game interviews and wrap-ups. I'm watching today's now and she's very good at it. Almost diametric opposite of her PBP--relaxed, well-spoken, good rhetorical flourishes.

    I wonder why it's so different for her--because she's better speaking to the camera (knowing that she has everyone's attention)? Or because not flanked sometimes by other announcers who know more about baseball than she does?

    In any case, it gives me hope that her play-by-play can improve.

    She knows a lot about baseball, but her style is more story-conversational. Play by play requires a certain amount of directness and crispness. For me, I prefer her play by play on tv to radio. On radio you really need to be on the action with description. TV allows for more license
