Nice to have a laugher for once

I was going to bump this one (was searching for this when I found the burst the Nova thread) once we got to 14-4, but though Frobby would slap my hand...haha.

Way to go O's, hopefully this gets the offense going strong for a while, looks like our starting pitching is going to need the help.

A tightly contested game turned into an Oriole rout late.

ORIOLES OOO..o - 11

BLUE JAYS OO -. 4

So how many laughers this year? two?

Now that I think about it' date=' tonight [b']WAS NOT[/b] a laugher.

In the game thread, you were biting your nails, hoping that we would somehow find a way to hold onto the 8-run lead in the final 2 innings.

Hence, no comfort, no laugher.

Nonetheless, I'm sure even Bahama O's Fank enjoys that type of nail-biter to one in which we laugh early and barely hold on at the end (like the last game of the Boston series!).

    • Well it certainly doesn't look like he'll be winning Rookie of Year award. And if we send him down for like the tiniest amount of time, we get him for another year, right? I think if this poor hitting continues it's financial mismanagement not to send him back down. Grayson got sent down and came back way better.
    • He certainly isn't a bust but I wasn't happy with the pick at the time and I don't love using the second overall pick for that type of player profile. Westburg signed for slot so he's irrelevant but Mayo was a great use of the money saved.
    • Think Heston will be the next call up. Mayo’s K/BB ratio is poor and I think they’ll want to see that even out. Stowers and Norby have seen their numbers slip a bit.  It will likely take an injury to an outfielder or first baseman, but I think we see HK next. 
    • I have to laugh at some of my pre-draft thoughts as well as others. I will say on behalf of myself and some others is that what we did not understand then was what the Orioles brain trust knew to be their model, and what they best developed. What traits they were looking for is an important thing to know, in hindsight anyway. And really, the Jackson Holliday leap in development was not something most of us heard anything about until about a month before the draft. I saw him the previous summer and I cannot say he was all that impressive, but it was only one look. His physicality took a big jump after that.  I will also add that we’re never going to know what would have happened if they drafted Austin Martin, Jones, Lawler, Lacy, etc. Their development could well have been different as O’s. The funny part of this board, in general, is the absolute certainty some have in their opinions and how eager they are to trash Elias and staff. There is plenty of humility to go around, now that things have played out. It’s fun to finally have a truly great front office and ownership group, and a stacked stable of horses. 
    • How did the moustache work for Austin Hays?
    • Thanks for the kind words @HbgOsFan and thanks especially for reading them.
