Since1984

The Royals are about to go on a winning streak this month!

Stowers with the assist!

Love how the seeds keep getting tossed on Wells during his in game interview

A pattern is starting! Last year was a welcome surprise, but now we are seeing the Orioles continue to be a well run organization for success.

Mateo has a 1.1 bref war so far this season and has 3 years of control. Only trade this guy when you have proven replacements, and a 1-3 SP packaged return. This may be why the O’s got Frazier, for analytical depth: Gunner’s second year, Urias, and no proven mlb experience with prospects

Any word how Ramon is doing after the HBP? Hope he is well!!

I think of Bryce Harper regarding Henderson’s patience at the plate and not getting pitches to hit. Not an expert but the there is a reason pitchers would rather miss off the corners, then on the plate. this has to be very frustrating for a rookie…chomping at the bit with very little to hit

Please merge this thread with Wilcards thread from spring training. The Orioles might bring out the hr hose, if we do this!

Tyler Wells is a SP, mid rotation caliber if injuries are overcome. Want to merge a thread I created with this one, c”renamed Tyler Wells 2023, in collaboration

Love the bullpen interview with Danny. I want my car breaks to blow the horn!

Ryan’s second hit of the game was on a pitch well below the strike zone. Yet he stuck with the off speed pitch and lined an rbi single. Pretty impressive awareness and game impact with last night’s plate appearances, including the sac fly. Hope this is a sign of continued growth and consistency

There seems to be too much: it was close enough that the umpire could not make the right call, yet the right call is up to the review to say we cannot tell. If it’s a tie, okay, otherwise call the one time review correctly

Wish they replayed that Adley SO called by the 3b ump

Stowers Off one of the best relievers in the game. HR outside corner strike just a perfect hit: https://youtu.be/Ge_I7LutioA

Read on MASN today that Wells offered Hyde to pitch yesterday with the bullpen being tea taxed. Gotta like this type team player!

Definitely agree, Wells has IL stints in every season. Hopefully he can build on the 23 GS and 100 IP from last year!

Tyler Wells has gone through all the tests needed to be a Starting Pitcher for the 2023 rotation. Lots of concerns with his rule 5 initiation, injuries, etc. His injury history is only as much a concern, as any candidate on the annual rotation. Let him start from here on out and the Orioles will be more successful. This guy can pitch. SSS, I beg not…he has the stuff, arm angle and just picked up the team tonight! More to come….job Wells done!

Remember thinking the HP umpire was doing a good job around the 3rd inning. Once the O’s were up a bunch of runs, he was calling more close pitches strikes against the O’s. Of course I am completely biased, but that is probably a usual correlation.

Concerned that Urias’s trade value gets diminished with the WBC knee insurance. Excited for Ramon’s 2023 season. His immediate reaction to that 387’ home run shows his awareness of where he can hit a pitch, based on the ballpark and pitcher. Should of picked him over Hay’s for career year poll!

I think of the Nationals WS run, as an optimist. Very little fan base for the first decade, yet a lot of Red Sox hats disappeared in the DMV area when they started winning. Baltimore can bounce back, if the powers that be allow for it and this team goes on a run. I live in VA and noticed the same fandom change for the Ravens good run. Different markets now, but the die-hard fans continue to age out.

Did not know the catcher can call one time out for each batter, which may mitigate this a little bit.

Does the opening day lineup still dictate all star ballots for each team…I’m checking my 1980’s game paraphernalia this weekend

Without reading comments and not knowing official offers made to free agents C. If this were 2024 F!

80 wins and there are going to be some exciting chunks of games to watch this season. Just do not think there is enough talent and experience to run it for the whole season.

Statcast data, not steady.
