I do not know if this has already been mentioned but Drabek is the only pitcher I have seen wearing a single digit number. I always thought that was an unwritten rule.

How many years of baseball will it take to retire all the numbers from 1 - 99 (presumably 0 is not allowed)? After that, they'll be forced to have three digit numbers! :laughlol:

Assuming we survive extinction by nuclear war, resource exhaustion, super-bacteria, zombies, meteors, black holes and supernovae, in the year 15830 AD, we would have players with numbers going across their shirt in a "U" like Saltalamacchia's last name. :laughlol:

There was a starter who pitcher for the O's who went to Toronto and wore 7 or 9. Can't pull his name. My babe Ruth coach wanted me to get rid of my single digit number.

Angel yes....Manfra....not so much

My choice would be to have Joe Angel and Jim Palmer together on MASN. Also, I don't really know Cal Ripken outside of baseball, but I think it'd be pretty cool to have him on either the TV or radio. Famous former O's players are my favorite telecasters. :)

    • I was listening to a Fox Sports Radio broadcast (sorry, can't remember who it was). They put the teams into tiers. The O's were in the top tier along with the Yankees, Dodgers and Phillies. I don't know how long it's been that during the season, someone would have called us top tier. And to think, this is happening with two of our starters out for the year and Bradish and Kremer have spent time on the IL. We are doing this with Hays, Mullins, Urias and Santander starting the season on an extreme slump. We have done this with Mateo starting almost every day (which most people thought would be a horrible thing). We have done this with a bullpen that has been very inconsistent. Imagine if we get some of this stuff fixed and some people back to just playing to their career averages. 
    • I'm not sure what we are doing with Vieira. I figured the trade was about the prospect and they had to take him and his salary to make it happen. I expected him to be DFA right away and they would try to send him to the minors to work on him. 
    • What would differentiate them? 
    • Btw, in the 4 game series against the Jays last year (July 31-Aug. 3rd), it is insane that Mountcastle hit for an .846(!) avg with an OPS of 1.932!  
    • Vieira doesn’t have options.  
    • May 2024 This month, two non-prospects were obvious choices for MiL Plsyer and Pitcher of the Month: Player of the Month 28-year old Daniel Johnson led the org in SLG, OPS, HR (tie) and RBI.  He hit .350/.439/.725 with 6 HR and 23 RBI pm In the prospect division, I’m going with 19-year old Leandro Arias, .333/.400/.667 with 3 HR and 13 RBI in 16 games.   Honorable mentions to Ellis Cuevas at .992 OPS, Heston Kjerstad .964 with 14 RBI in 16 games after returning to the minors, and Stiven Acevedo at .953.   Pitcher of the Month In between stinking up the major leagues, 27-year old Jonathan Heasley pitched 16 scoreless innings with an 0.813 WHIP. In the prospect division, 21-year old Edgar Portes pitched to an 0.42 ERA in 20.2 innings, with an 0.919 WHIP and 11.8 K/9.   Honorable mentions: Eccel Correa 0.96 ERA in 18.2 IP, and Trey Gibson with a 1.76 ERA, 1.044 WHIP, and 15.3 K/9 in 15.1 IP.
