No wonder you liked Bedard.
Best media Bedard exchange ever:
Bedard: Okay, I'm only answering three questions.
Media member: Why only three?
Bedard: That's one.
That one made me laugh out loud as I was watching.

I liked Bedard, word is his teammates liked him. Thing is he didn't suffer fools so the media didn't care for him.
So very much of our opinions about players is filtered through the media.
I loved watching him speak after games.

Plus a mental error, as Urias never should have thrown the ball home in the first place. The runner was basically planted at 3B before Urias threw the ball.
Oh, it was horrendous. You would be done for the day for that in high school.

How bout that defense...

Only two errors on that play

I've made you think of Mike Wright. This has been an OK day.
Tbf Mike Wright did WAY better in the minors. Perhaps that was our first clue.

Sorry, mistyped. Jorge's major league ERAs in the last 3 seasons:
2018: 5.05
2019: 6.33
2020: 6.69
Jorge Lopez' MINOR league ERAs in his last three minor league seasons:
2016: 5.78
2017: 4.25
2018: 5.26
What exactly do the Orioles or anyone else see in this guy? He's the pitching equivalent of Johnnie LeMaster or Luis Pujols.
Maybe the Players Union thinks he is good for morale.

Game 7, April 8
I didn’t see this game, but I know it included:
- A terrific diving catch by Mullins in LCF. In addition to the very athletic dive, he had to stay focused on the ball while Mountcastle was also diving for the ball behind him. Luckily they did not collide and Mullins made the catch.
- A possibly catchable ball that Mountcastle didn’t catch.
- On the same play, Mountcastle overthrew 3B and while the runner who was diving into the bag held there, the batter ended up at 2B.
I don’t really know of anything else that may have occurred in this game.
He also threw to the wrong base one time. He didn’t look good today.

This has a nice charts of how many pitches each pitcher has thrown in the last week:

Total ERA over 5 in 2018.
Over 6 in 2019.
Over 6 again with us in 2020.
His career WHIP is 1.50.
What are we expecting to get here exactly? Not trying to be a overt pessimist.
Sometimes he looks good one time through the order. I think a combo of Lopez and LeBlanc for 6 competitive innings would be a win.

If Steve Pearce can do it I don’t see why Ruiz wouldn’t be able to.
Don’t forget Ty Wigginton

All Star game to Oriole Park? Common Manfred!

The game specifically that I think off is OD at Camden Yards and Rick Sutcliffe.
But more generally, I remember my mom would always come pick me up from school early so I could watch the game. I've continued that tradition with my own kids. Will be leaving work today and picking up my kids around 1PM for a "family activity".
My son told his teacher that he wasn’t feeling well because he had baseball fever for the last opening day with fans

Rutschman 2
Rodriguez 22
Hall 59
Kjerstad 62
Mountcastle 63
Lots of movement on the list, but looks like the Birds are all in the same spots

Are we talking about Plutko who put up 20 starts and a 4.86 ERA in 2019. We got 13 guys better than him?
I think I would be pleasantly surprised to see three people pitch that well.

You can get 105.7 in DC. Its not crystal clear, but you can get it. Thanks for the tip regarding the switch to 630, I was not aware.
I listen to it every day.

Great news. I live in Fairfax County and frequently the signal from 105.7 was stronger than 980.

The original announcement said the app would be up & running by Opening Day. There have been no updates since then.
When I asked it sounded like it will be ready for opening day, not before.

Is he though? You can find plenty of readily available data that he and Ruiz are kind of the same offensive player. In fact Ruiz has better exit velo numbers. So I wonder if Elias and Co. see something else, or if there's some kind of roster shakeup yet to be revealed.
One difference is Franco hits right handed pitching better

Here is there updated list: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/top-45-prospects-baltimore-orioles/
45 players listed, maybe puts the Birds a tick ahead of the Yankees due to AR and Rodriguez. Though NY has a lot of 50s.

I’ve heard of Rogers but I didn’t even know he was still with the club.
He is coming back from TJ surgery, I believe

Remember that week, week and a half, back in 2019 where Davis looked like an adequate ML player?
Good times.
I’m actually having a hard time remembering that.

If the Orioles are even concerned with Ryan Mountcastle, I am happy.

Be interesting to see what Rogers looks like.
