What, you dont like the GoldGlover at 2nd, they picked up?

And they are getting moved to Nashville, right? Call me a doubting thomas.

You cant expect rational thoughts on a message board.

Correct Nobody seamed to be high on the guy. Again, I really wasnt wanting to knock you, because its not an exact science when looking at guys. Just was so eerie, same thing, maybe 4th COFer. Lord knows, I couldnt do it.

And yet, look at what was given up.

I am not a scout, and I dont even try to be one, but dang it, watching Yaz run around Bowie, he looked so natural and hustled more than anybody on the field. It wasnt like a diva or cocky, he was just a guy that was taught well at how to play the game.

Tony thought the same for Little Yaz, 4th OFer at best, if that. This is not a knock on Tony. But, its hard to really tell how these guys will mature and develope.

I dont put too much stock in what I read in ESPN stories the last few years, they have gone downhill so bad, Honesty their lack of respect for the 83 WS team, pretty much mirrors Orioles fandom opinion. How many times have I read on OH, that the 83 WS winners was the worse Oriole team to win a WS? The Big Red Machine was pretty impressive machine, sorry, at that time I was just a Senator fan. I wasnt a fan, but still, they had a ton of talent. Some could make a case Sparky was a better manager than Earl. If you compare the two teams, which I haven't. I wonder which team has more HOFers on it. I know the Orioles had the better SPers and best 3rd. The lack of respect for the 66 team, is most likely due to 21 year old writters that only know what they read and they wasnt around back then, so everything they have seen is better than history.

I truly dont care who wins, normally, but i will admit, if I see a really stupid call, or a pitcher throw a ball the batters head, well, I do tend to root for the other team. The asterisk here, the above doesnt count for the Yankees. LOL

I have a hard time rooting for any other team besides the Orioles, just not in my make-up. Nothing wrong with others doing it, but not for me.

I thought Frederick was built to double-A standards as at one time, they hoped to get AAA to Bowie.

It was awesome growing up in the 60s, watching Gibby pitch, talk about nasty stuff, man, what a beast. Sorry to hear about his passing away. But, that sadly is life, we are born, we live and we die. Not just Gibby, but so darn many great players to play in the 60s and 70s, even Mays at the end of his career was something to see.

Cuellar was dang good, but I think Palmer does know a thing or two about pitching. Cuellar is long remembered in Birdland and Bedard is just the guy who got us, Tilly and Jonesy.

The whole MIL reshuffle/reorganization is disappointing

Palmer played along side of many of the better Oriole pitchers. He said Bedard at that time had the best stuff of any Left Hander Starter that he had seen pitch for the Birds. Not sure I would agree that it was the best, but I have to agree he has some nasty stuff, and if not the best, 2nd or 3rd isnt bad company to be in.

First Hobgood and now Harvey. We are no longer allowed to draft any pitcher, starting with the letter "H" LOL

As it was written, so let it be done.

Syd was a great baseball mind at one time, but that was sadly before taking the job with the Orioles. I think his health was an issue, and nobody at the time, knew it or looked the other way and let him stumble his way through.

Sounds like Brady's thing. He loved running up hills.

This points out and proves that there is steady improvement and yet, there is room to keep growing. Clearly, IMO, Elias has a plan and working it. I doubt if he was hired to do a half baked rebuild.

Talk about a Porn stache.

Reminds me of Davey telling Mussina, he didnt have to strike out every hitter he faced.

Chance's bat decent, but doesnt play at the 1B level, expected of a 1B.

Not just the original Cavalry. Then came, Bundy and Gausman were supposed to be 2 TOR guys for us and we added Harvey and they were supposed to carry this team. So thats twice now. I hope to hell, theres not a 3rd, but this is baseball, so probably will be.

But the Big A, dont play in the AL East, and Bundy would not be the first pitcher to do better with a change of scenery and movement out of the AL East.
