Something on the lighter side...with apologies if this may more accurately be placed in the History file...

In your years as a fan, which player(s) that passed through here quickly made the biggest positive impact on you. Someone that you became a huge fan of in no time.

Let's use 2 seasons on the big league team as a maximum.

I'd say mine was Eric Davis. Runner-up: Randall K. Myers. Honorable mention to Charles Johnson.

Et vous?

Tito Landrum. I know Steve Stone doesn't qualify because he pitched here 3 years but I loved the way he sacrificed his career for that one 25 win Cy Young season; what was it, over 50% curve balls?

Agreed, but yes Stone falls victim to the 3rd year, as does Robbie Alomar.

Tito Landrum..... lest we forget

Funny story about Tito. For the 1983 playoff run, the O's traded the infamous PTBNL to the Cardinals for Tito. After the O's won it all (thanks to the help of Tito), the PTBNL was . . . . . . Tito Landrum.

      What were the expectations?

      And the difference with Cowser and Holliday is the team around him. Right now, our lineup is deep and talented, which allows them to let Holliday struggle through without majorly affecting the outcomes of games. Plus there really isn’t an incumbent player pushing him for time. Hays was the entrenched starter last year when Cowser came up, so the only way he was going to play in a pennant race was if he hit as he has this year. The problem with Holliday is purely this: unrealistic expectations. Give him some time. We will reap the benefits of this patience later in the season. You add his bat to what we already have?!?! Watch out!

      This should be merged into the thread in the minor league forum.   https://forum.orioleshangout.com/topic/51777-seth-johnson-2024/#comment-3104271

      Hard to look at his start as “just a slump” when factoring in his second half of last year, too.

      Aren't the Tides struggling enough already?

      Not even a platinum glove is worth that kind of abysmal production at the plate. Elias should capitalize on Hays' option and send him to Norfolk to play every day. If there's an injury to one of the OF's on the major league roster or he gets into a groove at the plate, call him back up. Give Stowers an opportunity - even just as a sparingly-used 4th OF - to reward him for multiple seasons of good production in the minors.

      Is this a serious statement?  Did we find out if Cowser was “cut out for the majors” last season when he struggled? Did we find out about Grayson last season when he struggles so much that he had to be sent down? Just curious, how long have you watched baseball? I ask because I have read several of these hyperbolic reactions when the kid hasn’t even played a full week of games and the first thing that I a think is what is this poster’s frame of reference? Have they not watched various top players/prospect struggle when first coming to the show? I don’t mean to be insulting but it get’s a little exhausting reading these type of instantaneous indictments of a 20 year-old uber-talented kid who has not found his groove after 25 ABs.
