Yeah...Brooks too really.

You didn't REALLY go there. Did you?

I won't even bother with a statistical analysis or empirical or like quotes from the man...

Ok.. ONE quote... "It's a pretty sure thing that the player's bat is what speaks loudest when it's contract time, but there are moments when the glove has the last word."

My predictions are

John Denver's "Thank God I'm A Country Boy" will be played at each and every 7th inning stretch at Oriole Park

and

when I finally open my Buck Martinez bobble-head it will be broken like 3 out of the last 4 bobbles I have gotten.

I predict that SG will not post in this thread but will still take credit for anything he says he ever said, whether there is proof or not....;):)
I predict that Mark Hendrickson will mercifully announce his retirement by the All Star Game (but SG will still maintain that he is a better candidate for the bullpen than Josh Rupe).
I predict that whatever opinion I take on any subject, SG will disagree with me!

Three SG posts in a row! One thing that I have learned in this world is that stating an opinion unequivocally does not convert it to fact. :)

If this happens, you will indeed be able to say "I told ya so." NOBODY gets into the Hall based on defense.

Drungo's five or six no-names from the 30's who made the Hall on defense say hello also! And if SG would have posted here he'd have two more....;)

It wasn't supposed to be an insult that he got in with his defense.

If I had one of those, I would break it myself.

at the all-star break, Zach Britton will be all the buzz with a 2.82 (ish) ERA and a 7-1 record or better...

Matusz will have a 5.00+ ERA and will only play about half the season

Tillman will be in AAA at the end of May for most of the season with a few call ups when we need help in the rotation for a week or so...

Wieters will hit about .285 with somewhere between 19 and 23 HRs...

B-Rob will have one of the best years of his career, or close to it, hitting 30 HRs and a batting average of about .320...

I will go on the record in saying that if Tillman doesn't rediscover his velocity he might as well pack it in. His plus pitch was the gas, while he was wild and sometimes erratic a power pitcher can get away with it. A erratic soft tosser is AAAA at best. IMO he needs to go back to the minors to rediscover hi gas.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      By Flash- bd · Posted

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
