Did you read what he said???What he said at any age, is unacceptable and rooted in hatred. Hard stop. Not all “edgy” tweets are the same and your response tells me all I need to know about you as a human being.

Evidently for the Os, the answer is to keep pitching to him and ignore reality.

Love it. Glad to prove the haters wrong.

Two moves I hope Elias makes for the 2nd Half
NelsonCruuuuuz replied to wildcard's topic in Orioles Talk
Why in the world is Nevin still here with better options at Norfolk? Critical stretch, just strongly dislike the roster decisions here with him and Arauz remaining for the second half. Maddening. -
Actually, what a few said, including me (and Tony I believe) is that he was coming off major injury and to see him released so soon was puzzling at best. Likely, not going to be an AS but what’s the harm in giving him more time when there weren’t many better options at the time. But I know you love to poke at me when you have insulted Mateo’s value time after time despite obvious huge upside/potential. But hey, please continue mischaracterizing what people say and ignore your bad takes.

Huh? Why in the world do you think that? First off, they most likely passed on Jones because he is a Boras guy, they will likely pass on Porter at 2pm (we will see I guess). If they are going BPA as you say, I guess time will tell at 2pm. Fabian they clearly are in love with for whatever reason, doesn't sound like BPA there. ..and....I don't think the other two guys were even remotely close to BPA.

They altered his stance and he has seen immediately improvement. Palmer has discussed this extensively on the telecasts.

Wagner began the year on Clemson's bench and ended it with 27 home runs, third in NCAA. He is a draft-eligible sophomore with very little track record of performance, aside from his amazing 2022 sprint, during which he hit .369/.496/.852. Look under the hood and there is a little more swing and miss than average, both in terms of his strikeout rate (for a prospect, not compared to the average college hitter) and underlying swinging strikes. Things aren't in a red flag area so much as it's clear Wagner isn't actually a .380 hitter. This is mostly how Wagner's entire skill set reads. Aside from his plus arm, his tools are all about average. His swing is gorgeous and well-timed but he does tend to swing inside of sliders, and he does almost all of his damage to his pull-side. Wagner still has some "tip of the iceberg" characteristics, as he's young for the class, he hasn't played all that much, and he hails from a cold-weather state and entered college ball with less high-level experience than most of his peers. If you want to project on his hit tool based on his background, then he has a puncher's chance to be a well-rounded regular.
