That certainly put a damper on an otherwise good day. I was just thinking about how be put a good swing on that ball. And I was a little on edge when he took off for second. Everything looked fine. Until it wasn't.

I'm not sure what got tweaked but I guess this was the risk more than anything else. He got back completely healthy and now he injures something else. Sad. It seemed just as likely that someone else would get injured because he seemed 100%. But it had to be him. I feel terrible for him. Hoping it's just a sprain or something.

**** Roberts! We should have got rid of him years ago. It's all fake. Just sits the bench and collects money. I honestly believe he fakes it.

Oh my God. I can't believe no one on this board ever thought of that! What a crazy outside the box thought! We've literally never discussed this on the board before.

If he's gonna fake something why would he fake a knee injury which probably shows up on one test or another clear as day.

Do people really think about these things lol

I think you can fake a concussion but it will pretty hard to fake a knew injury. He looked like he had major anxiety issues last year. I don't think he was faking that. He might not have had a concussion but something wasn't right.

I made a bet with someone on over under 50 games. I won. I hate that I won. He is the biggest waste of money in Oriole history. Yes, I believe he is a ***** and fakes being hurt to get paid without playing.

See what I said above, why/how would you fake a knee injury which would invariably show heavy inflammation, tearing, etc.

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      John Means 2024

      By Ohfan67 · Posted

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!

      What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.

      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.
