Well Hart never heard of Frank, and I never heard of him before this, so I guess there's some equity there. Frank played for the O's 48 years ago. When I was 20 the O's didn't exist 48 years prior, but the Browns did. The only player of Frank's stature on the 1918 Browns was George Sisler. I couldn't honestly say I knew who he was 48 years ago. But I did know who Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth were, and Frank is in their league IMO.

No good. Especially when you're awful right after getting drafted.

There's always Wiiki. Does this guy not have a printer? How about a USB and a nearby Kinko's.

It is an interesting exercise. Hart probably does not have access to a computer, his phone is probably his best technological resource and while okay his bet bet is probably to seek out the aid of one of the clubhouse leaders who might have the knowledge needed. So it not only becomes a historical lesson but also a social lesson to get Hart comfortable with the veterans in the clubhouse.

If you had to pick one veteran to go learn that information from who would it be?

If Guts were still there I would say him, but as it stands, maybe Hardy? O'Day?

Pretty sure they have a public library in Sarasota.

      So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?

      John Means 2024

      There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time

      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.

      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

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      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.
