Just saying...he isn't going back down to the minors, that is for sure.

Edit: I posted this earlier. He was messing around taking hacks with some kids playing softball. I posted this to my FB page earlier today. Take a look, pretty funny because he whiffs at the first one(talk about screwing with your timing!):

If only he could step on first base.

It is far from a sure thing that he is here to stay. You are talking about someone that had a 724 OPS in AA last season and a 708 OPS in AAA this season. Yes he is young but he still has a lot to learn and it remains to be seen if he can learn it at the MLB level.

Like him or not he is an incredible talent. I think he stays up for good and NL ROY

is possible. Minor league OPS was less than stellar but he seems to like MLB pitching with an OPS of 1.014.

He makes you want to catch all of his AB's.

Never did I deny he was dynamic.

I think his struggles at AA and AAA should make one hesitant to put too much faith in a handful of MLB games. They might keep him up, but if they are trying for a playoff spot and he is sporting a 680 OPS he is going back down.

      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.
