I'm not sure what is more impressive to me. Tillman's increased velocity or his increased fastball command.

If he can pitch like this consistently, Tillman will fit in this rotation perfectly. Obviously this is a good park for him to pitch in.

You're The Dragon, ala Wilfred Benitez when he was a world champion boxer in the junior welterweight, welterweight, and junior middleweight divisions.

I had the pleasure of sharing a Limo with Wilfred Benitez, Alexis Arguello and Jake LaMotta in the late 80's. What gentlemen they all were.

I'll believe it next year. Maybe. Keep doing it. For a long time. I'll be your biggest friend.

Well, at least Avery's mistake was the opposite of Ryan Flaherty's mistake a few days ago.

That Flaherty screw-up was so bad that I flashbacked to it the first time Jones and Avery converged on a flyball (back in the first inning I think).

I think Big Jim will be OK despite his blah start w/ us so far.

      The Royals

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      No, they’re good.  I mean, they’re good enough. And what they really are, is boring.  Outside of Bobby Witt Jr., there’s nothing exciting about that team.  They signed a bunch of boring free agents like Lugo and Wacha, guys that we sneered at because they don’t have “elite” stuff.  And all Lugo and Wacha did were turn in boringly great seasons.     I’m sure their fans aren’t blowing each other over and over again about how great their farm system is and filling out make believe lineups on fielding 1-9 100% home grown talent.    They rely on pitching and defense.  Shouldn’t be a foreign concept to Orioles fans that remember the good old days, but it seems like it is.  No, the Royals are good. They’re just boring. No superstars outside of Witt, Salvy and maybe Ragans. They play in a boring city and a boring ballpark in front of boring fans.  Their farm system is boring.    Meanwhile we’re over here saying how great we should be because of Jackson Holliday and Coby Mayo and Heston Kjerstad and Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson and all this youth and talent that’s going to have us winning all the time and life is going to be so great.  Can’t be bothered to sign guys like Lugo and Wacha, those guys aren’t elite enough for our amazing window of talent!   We’re like the definition of being born on third base and thinking we’ve hit a triple.

      They're not good.  No sour grapes or me being a bitter Betty, the Royals aren't a good baseball team.   As disappointing as last year was at least TEX was a talented team on a heater. I'm happy whenever the Yankees lose but I kind of want them to sweep KC, not that I really have much against the Royals, I just want our guys to truly understand what apitiful performance that was.

      Where are the pollyannas?

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      I can't speak for others obviously, but I have a lot of concern over the hitting approach. This approach is unpleasant to watch and has been pretty much all year. Cowser striking out with the bases loaded and 1 out on a pitch that breaks his hand because it is so inside is the perfect symbol for everything that is wrong with what we do. He was swinging no matter where that pitch was going. But I am more concerned that there is simply nothing at all special about anyone we have in place in the organization....whether it be the GM, analytics gurus, managers, coaching staff, or players.  They just look like an ordinary organization and ordinary team to me that isn't any better at what they do than anyone else. And sadly, when the stakes are high and the pressure ramps up, we are worse than anyone else.  42-48 in their last 90 is pretty telling, especially when they looked their best sweeping 3 in a row to end the regular season in the only 100% meaningless games played in that stretch.  They are enjoyable to watch, when the pressure is totally off. At least we still have playoff baseball to watch. I'll try not to cry or be too jealous when I watch the Brewers and Padres and see what a young Jackson is supposed to look like as opposed to the one we have.

      Adley shares tough health admission

      By glenn__davis · Posted

      Yeah I don't want to hear it.  He and Hyde have been saying he's healthy, now some vague comments.  You sucked. Own it, take a long look in the mirror and figure out why, and come back next year.

      By Chelsea_Phil · Posted

      It’s early morning and I am still steaming mad.   it’s like we have 9 Mark Belangers hitting for us, all of whom cannot play defense anywhere near what Mark did for us.
