Chris Davis' OPS is lower than Iglesias' batting average
-
I figured it would be him. Lopez was once a Top 100 guy. I think I'd prefer to see both of them designated though.

Ryan Mountcastle has made great improvements in Bowie, according to Brandon Hyde. It's past the super two date now as well.
What a coincidence!

The Orioles have won the season series seven times, lost it three times. The other years were splits.

Next question.... are we better than the Tigers/Rangers/Angels /Rays/Jays?
I don't think the O's are better than the Rays.

I wasn't wastchig either. Was listening on the radio driving home from work and pretty sure I recall (Arnold?) say he was at 99 on one pitch.
Castro and Scott both hit 99 more than once.

You and me both. It's time. CD had back to back days of ole plays. We don't need a Dorn. Perhaps Tanner Scott (Rick Vaughn) could sleep with his wife. Maybe that'll wake his ass up. Hell, it worked for Dorn in Major League.
Dorn could hit

That’s why I wasn’t sad to see the last of Villar.
He was most definitely not fun to watch. He was frustrating. on he all- frustrating team, he would be my starting second baseman.
I think I would have him play shortstop on that team

The benching of Davis would be a good start to contention.
It is definitely the first step to trying to win any Major League Baseball
game.

It’s Amazing how excited we get over a .500 team here. Ultimately the Orioles will likely fade as the mediocre rotation plays to its real skill level and Elias moves any part with value that continues to over perform.
They might get better after trading the older players.

I can’t remember, so maybe 1980, maybe 79.

Without grounds crew incompetence it would have resumed. The grounds crew failures, not the rain was the proximate cause of not being able to resume the game, thus it is resumed at a later date.
Serious question, why can’t they just fix the field today? Is it raining anymore? I live 10 miles away and it never rained here.

Would t it be beasties

It makes sense because the Orioles were winning? When the Yankees were winning in the same stadium, same situation the game ended.

It looked like the tarp wasn't rolled up right, all tangled. They could barely push it. Then part of it rolled up over the roll so as they were unrolling part of it another part was rolling up. Then they had to roll it backwards to get that straightened out. This all took like 10, 15 minutes. All the while it was POURING rain. The whole infield was one standing pool of water.
Your description made me laugh out loud all over again

That’s actually the team that prompted My comment.
The Orioles have backed into the playoffs the last three times they did. All the other times they didn’t make it, they just straight up died in September, or earlier.
Would love to see an orioles team get hot in the fall, playoffs or not.

This tarp thing is amazing!

E-Rod was better.
He had 4.79 ERA in Bowie.

I mean, nothing's a perfect emulation, but come on - you can certainly do defensive drills outside of a game.
Ok, I disagree

They also enjoy day games, 4-1.

So pump in the noise. He'll get a helluvalot more opportunities to field in practice than in a real game.
I don’t mean noise, I was referring to the ball. A grown athlete hitting a fly ball does different things than when someone hits you a fungo.

Bowie's not far from Baltimore. If it's that important, he can drive there before or after games.
Fungos can’t replicate what a ball does when hit by a major league player.

Pretty big strike zone.

One of the worst things about an electronic strike zone is that it would render completely useless the skill of framing. You can’t fool a computer, it’s either a ball or a strike and that is that.
That sounds wonderful.

Sure its possible. But Akin is hopefuly a part of the future. So if he has a good start they probably do not send him back down. Wojo is probably not part of the future. He here at the present and he is out of options. And the O's are not going to waiver him now . So he could slide over to the pen. Eshelman has options, is a soft tosser and is not esblished in the majors. He is more likely to go back to Bowie if Akin has a good start.
Know that Milone and LeBlanc are fill-in starters with experience. They can be traded to make room if there are starters that are pushing up from Bowie. But someone has to want them. The O's are not going to reliease them in a pandemic and loss depth for nothing.
So yes I think there is an overall plan in the works here.
I would assume Eshelman, Hess, and Phillips are most in danger of being sent down. They all have options and seem to be the worst three on the team.
No more argument to play Chris Davis

Yes, because of that Chen is the highest paid player this year.
