He showed a very nice curve-ball. And pretty decent fastball command. Especially after walking the first two.

After walking the first 2 batters that he faced, Johnson threw 36 more pitches .......... 25 strikes, 11 balls. :)

He fooled Cabrera with it for a called strike and then never threw it again. If he came back with it he strikes him out.

The roster is BP heavy right now. Someone has to go to make room for Tillman. I was glad to see Steve get a shot and he did pretty well overall. He certainly electrified the crowd, he got a warmer welcome than BRob when he returned. I'm sure we'll see more of him in the future. I'm happy for him and his father.

Yeah, I didn't see Steve pitch or any replays, but they showed his Dad laughing and beaming in the stands. Great stuff!

It seems likely that the O's are going to regret optioning Steve Johnson. He will not be available to the O's for 10 days unless there is an injury. With a rotation of Chen,Gonzo, Tillman, Britton and Hunter I would think the O's will need a mid relief or long man.

They might bring him back quick. Andino might make a trip to the DL.

Yes, Andino might need to go on the DL, but right now that does not seem likely. XRays show no tear or structural damage. The MRI will tell more tomorrow but Andino is not reporting pain but rather soreness that he is projecting will cause him to not be play for a couple of days.

Ummm. Cabrera ripped one on a 1-2 count about 50 feet foul in the upper deck and i actually thought the 440 ft hr was on a curve - was that a slider?

Trust me, they can disable someone.

      Well, I do think David Rubenstein bought the team thinking he can grow the pie by building on what Elias has done with the on-the-field product and showing the fan base some love and respect.  It will be interesting to see if he’s right.  I hope he is.

      Wait....I already said that he doesn't dead lift, squat, or bench 500 pounds, let alone the 800 pounds as you said. I literally just said yesterday his Bench was maybeeeeee 300 with the help of pads and the sling shot, and his squat was 400.  Is that anywhere near 500 or the 800 that you claimed? So please, tell me where I said he was doing 500 pounds seriously?  I said that above sarcastically in response to your continued assertions that JH was doing elite power lifting numbers.  Which was ridiculous.  Just lol.

      I would agree.  He needs a complete reset.  Complete rest.  Starting to remind me more and more of Dylan Bundy.  A guy who FOR SURE early in his baseball life trained too hard.  Played too hard.  Took baseball too hard as a possible career.  By the time he grew into an adult man, he wasn't the player he was as a kid and young man.  Both mentally and physically.  I said this in an earlier post, but unlike most athletes, JH seems to have been groomed from the time he was 3 to be a baseball player.   He may already have the body of a 27 year old when it comes to wear and tear.   And I am sure since all he has ever done is baseball, there is a part of him mentally that is just tired. That is why with my son and daughter (5 and 9  ) I encourage them to play any and all sports, but focus on none.  Your true abilities in any sport will eventually come out.    Just don't over do it.  Even Tiger broke down from his dads complete obsession with making him the best.  The fact that Tiger actually did it is a testament to his mental strength.  That being said.......if you can get a boatload for him now?  I would do it.  I said it yesterday but he is not a special athlete.  He is a very good baseball player.  But not an elite athlete  despite what Corn says.   And this injury is not a good sign of what is to come.

      Keith Law has O's taking Tommy White at #22 in latest mock draft

      By Jim'sKid26 · Posted

      I like college bats after #10 until the end of the first round. My preference is for them to have some defensive value if possible. I like the idea of using comp picks to try to get high end high school bats. Its a risk/reward type of pick. I would have to know why they, (Burns and Smith) fell to that level. Pitchers break and that's a lot of money for a broken pitcher. I'd be very cautious, in other words.

      I characterize “winning” as having a winning culture and established high level of play.  I don’t think we had that in the 2012-2016 run.  I think even the most orange tinted glasses saw that was a very short window with nothing to come after.  What we have now, and what the Ravens have established, is the ground work for continued winning and high level play. Above and beyond the on field accomplishments the organization is doing all the right things off the field and nurturing a relationship with the fans in a “winning” manner.  Winning was never the focus in the past.  Even the most ardent haters can see that winning is here for the foreseeable future on and off the field.
