Just in case you Oreos have forgotten, he's not just a pretty bat. :2yay-thumb:

May 6

Today in Baseball History

2012:

Both teams end up having to use position players on the mound when a game between the Orioles and Red Sox goes deep into extra innings. O's manager Buck Showalter turns to DH Chris Davis to take the mound in the 16th inning with the score tied at 6 - 6. Davis gives him a pair of scoreless innings, somewhat compensating for a brutal 0-for-8 game at the plate. The Sox face the same quandary in the top of the 17th, and turn to OF Darnell McDonald. Things don't go so well, however, as he surrenders a three-run homer to Adam Jones; he then grounds into a double play against Davis to end the game in the bottom of the frame. Davis is the winner in the 9 - 6 Baltimore win, and McDonald the loser; it is the first time both teams use position players to pitch in the same game since October 4, 1925, when future Hall of Famers George Sisler and Ty Cobb both got to pitch on the last day of the season.

That is so awesome. Things certainly did not go his way, but he certainly prevailed. :2yay-thumb:

Glad he hit his 10th. 1/6th of the way to my personal goal for him.

On a side note, did anyone think he looked a bit like the Joker in his last AB tonight? I was waiting for him to mouth the words "Why so serious".

49 to go

This one on Sunday was an absolute bomb. Dead center, and it hit pretty far up that wall. I'm not sure enough was made about how far that really was.

I frickin' love this guy!

Thanks to everyone for keeping this alive while I was gone.

5/18-Solo shot for number 12, 61 left for me and Murph looks to be happy with 48 more. Just missed one last night, let's hope for a couple tonight!

Was a solo shot because Jones had just blasted one himself.

      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.
