Did he? I missed that. Argh!

FP was talking about how the teams didn't take BP and didn't get a chance to shag fly balls etc. Bordy basically said its the outfields job to know the wind/weather etc and that there is no excuse.

1420 SAT with a 3.8 GPA? That must be out of 1600. If that's out of the normal 2400 its actually pretty bad...

It may be out of 2400. But, from what I understand, in most cases, schools only look at the two original parts of the SAT, so it's essentially the same as scoring out of 1600. Perhaps it's a reference to only those two. Who knows? Either way, he's a make-up kid.

Cool thanks. I heard the first part from FP but I rolled my eyes and just tuned them out for a minute.

    • My takeaway is about payroll and all the suffering we've endured.   Mike, Sig, and Eve have the best plan, even when you have deep pockets, which we might now.   My other take away is closers are still undervalued, I remember what it felt like when Britton pitched in 2016 and last year (and hopefully next year) with Bautista.   In other words, Shorten the game, and don't sign huge long term contacts that will ultimately force you to play guys who are ready for the broadcast booth.
    • The Reds have come a long way from the Marge Schott days.  I miss colorful owners.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marge_Schott
    • OK folks, first month in the books and I had the itch to take a peek at stats through May 2 of the last two years respectively.   Well it’s startling! 2023 Mateo: 76AB 6HR 18 RBI 10SB 6BB 14K .338/384/.636/1.020 2024 Cowser: 83AB 6HR 18RBI 3SB 9BB 33K .277/.351/.578/.929 And of course as Jim Palmer responded to Kevin Brown “he (Cowser) needs to hit the cutoff man!”.   When Hays returns do the cow costumes start showing up at Goodwill?  I guess there is talk of a “cow pasture” section at the May 12 Toronto game.  Will Cowser be above .250 in 10 days?   I appreciate Cowser as a player and seems like an excellent teammate and person but I’m afraid the hype maybe getting in front of the train.  (inadvertent reference to cow catcher on a train).
    • I agree, I watched every game, and the Yankees look downright weak. Rodon is one of the most overpriced/overrated pitchers in baseball. Stanton might be the slowest person in professional sports and he swings at garbage. Judge hasn't been the same since he injured his toe. Rizzo is bleh. I am not scared of them whatsoever.  As far as us, I feel way more confident about our starting pitching, particularly with Bradish looking strong. Kremer might end up having a great year. Our bullpen too. And damn do we have some hitters.  I feel damn good about our chances at winning the division.
    • Roch: Austin Hays grabbed his spikes yesterday and walked out of the Orioles’ clubhouse. He had another box to check. Hays ran the bases for the first time since landing on the 10-day injured list on April 22 with a strained left calf muscle. He sprinted from third to home and wasn’t favoring the leg. That was only part of his workout. The Orioles didn’t schedule batting practice but they arranged for Hays to take some swings on the field. It was significant ramping of baseball activities after Hays had run the last two days, hit in the indoor cage and threw. “Everything’s been going good,” he said. “I’ve been up to 90 percent of my game speed, so getting really close. Just got to check a couple more boxes, but everything we’ve done so far, there have been no setbacks, nothing negative. I think we’re getting really close.” Hays could use an uninterrupted stretch of games. A stomach virus in spring training shed about 10 pounds from his frame, and he experienced a different illness in Pittsburgh. He went 4-for-29 down in Florida and is 5-for-45 this season with no extra base hits. Before heading out to the field, Hays said he didn’t know whether he’d go on an injury rehab assignment to get some at-bats. “We’re still trying to decide that, like, ‘OK, if you’re good in the next couple days, where are we going to be at?’” he said. “We’ll see once I check off all the sprinting boxes, baserunning, hitting. Just see what we decide.” Manager Brandon Hyde sounded yesterday like he expected Hays to join an affiliate. “Hopefully he can start doing some minor league games here pretty soon,” Hyde said.  
    • you're replying to my post without reading it. Again where does mayo play on this 26. So who goes of the roster (Urias) You're going to have Mayo play 3B over Urias? This administration loves defense. Did you watch the Yankee series?
    • Yeah it makes you think again before considering swapping a high-end talent like Basallo for a top closer like Miller. When you can plug in a DFA guy like Webb or Coulombe or Perez, or groom a wild flamethrower like Bautista from the farm. Just throw strikes.
