Toronto Series - Immature Humor

It's lucky for us that Dick Pole isn't their pitching coach.

On a side note. If your last name was Pole, why on Earth would you name your poor son Richard?

It's ashamed Dick Pole was done in the major leagues a year before Rusty Kuntz entered it. That would have been an epic battle. Pole vs Kuntz, who would have come out ahead?

Pretty much every man alive knows that Kuntz would have out lasted Pole.

Think what will happen when these Jays' pitchers face the Mariners. I understand there's some bad feeling between the two teams, and the Mariners' clumsy manipulation will increase friction and inflame the members of the Toronto pitching staff, who will threaten to rise up and shoot their seamen.

Dickey, Wang, and Johnson all have the ability to move their pitches in and out of the zone. The Orioles just need to keep the hits coming. Just keep coming at them til they can't take it any more. The more they go in and out, the more we keep coming at them. My fear is we'll jump on top and come at them too early. We may have to come from behind. Either way, someone is walking out of there satisfied. It rarely happens at the same time. You just walk around with your head held high and hope they don't come down with any headaches the next time we're in town. We may have to take matters into our own hands, if that happens.

Thorne and Palmer just referred to this on the broadcast today (start of the bottom of the 5th inning). There was a LONG pause after Thorne announced 'Dickey, Johnson and Wang are going for the Jays'. It was pretty clear they paused to make sure they didn't lose composure (or more likely they had a producer in their ear saying "Gary, don't.....DON'T"

Maybe we should direct them to this thread for material......

    • I always thought that if you weren't around 10:1 you weren't trying hard enough.
    • Adley was a nearly finished product when picked, if not for tradition and service time stuff he could have been in the majors shortly after he left college. Gunnar needed 1000+ minor league plate appearances as a high school pick. Ask this same question about the 1990-2017 Orioles with their development system. They certainly could have found a way to screw up Gunnar, would have been harder with Adley.
    • I don’t think it was weird at all.  EDC said it but I thought it unfolded as expected.  You knew the QBs would go. You knew tons of OT and WR would go.   This was always going to be an offense dominated first round. The Oline and WR depth is in every round. I suspect that they go Oline twice or Oline/WR tonight.  Obviously you never know how the board falls but I think that’s what is likely.   This is mainly going to be an offense draft. EDC said a few weeks ago that they will draft a RB.  My guess is that the RB goes sometime in day 3. They will come out of this draft with at least 2 more Olineman, one WR and one RB.  I suspect they take a safety at some point as well. The question will be do they take 9 players.  The Ravens didn’t feel this was a draft with as many draftable players as years past, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they make some kind of a trade. 
    • 1:2 is good.  Elite is a player like Arraez who is 1+:1.

    • Was reading Wiggins write up on ESPN. He appears to be more of a home run threat than Koolaid. He had a pick 6 each of the last 2 years.  
    • Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.
