Buck was on Mike & Mike talking about this. I caught him saying thanks guys . . . . . . and didnt hear what he said.

Did anybody happen to catch it?

He didn't say a whole lot, he mentioned he felt bad that it all went public and that it wasn't his intention to make Hart look bad, Hart was a good kidand good player and took it well and understood what the purpose of it all was. Then he said he was afraid to go to the minor league camp cuz he thought everyone would try and hide now. lol

Frank Robinson is a Hall of Fame major league outfielder who played from 1956 to 1976. In his 21 year major league career his most notable associations are with the Reds until he was traded as an old 30 year old, a World Champion with the Baltimore Orioles, where he has been immortalized with a Toby Mendez statue, and the Cleveland Indians where he became Major League Baseball?s first African American manager. He also managed the Baltimore Orioles, San Francisco Giants and Montreal Expos.

Frank was named most valuable player in both the National and American leagues. He is the only player to have done this. As a Baltimore Oriole he won the triple crown, leading the league in batting average, runs batted in and home runs.

In his personal life Frank has been an activist in the field of Civil Rights and has been acknowledged as a pioneer in supporting inner city baseball programs. Frank Robinson has held several positions with major league baseball, as a Special adviser, Vice President and Executive Vice President.

Robinson is known to be a fiery competitor and leader. With the Baltimore Orioles he served as the judge of the Kangaroo Court meting out sentences for infractions ranging from on field blunders to being a ?son? of legendary Orioles manager Earl Weaver.

Frank was inducted in to the Baseball Hall of Fame and the Orioles Hall of Fame. His number ?20? is retired by the Orioles and is one of the Statue numbers fans file past as they enter Orioles Park at Camden Yards through Eutaw street.

Frank Robinson ended his playing career with 586 Home Runs, a lifetime .296 batting average and 107.1 Wins Over Replacement. Frank hit the only home run entirely out of Baltimore?s Memorial Stadium and is looked up to as the Senior Leader of the Baltimore Orioles Legion of Legends.

That's only about a half page, unless you print it out with crayons.

I wouldn't say that it's embarrassing not to know details about a player that played decades before you. I would say that it's a learning experience and a chance to find out more about the history of the game. Good for the kid for getting it done.

I was concerned that he hadn't. That's why I wrote the thing for him to cheat from if necessary.

      Jalen Vazquez 2024

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Baseball’s a funny game.  We spend 1.4M on Carter Young who played at D1 powerhouse Vanderbilt and he hasn’t looked too good so far in his pro career.  A year later in the 20th round, we pick Vazquez from North Greenville University (sorry. Never heard of it), sign him for 30k and he puts up an .822 OPS at Delmarva.  This year both Vazquez and Young are at Aberdeen and it’s not too difficult to guess which one is the better prospect. In 46 PA, Vazquez has 12 walks to 7 strikeouts and a .933 OPS.  In addition, he’s stolen 7 bases in 8 tries.   @Tony-OH also has said he’s a good defensive SS. 2023 draft.  Etzel in the 10th.  Vazquez in the 20th.  Nice job, scouts.

      They may be a way to start him out. But I hope that is not the plan long term. If you had a chance to listen to Hyde's comments they appear to be trying to build Bradish back up into a regular starter. He talked about him building toward 80 pitches in his next rehab outing. In order for this team to get where it wants to go, we will need the Bradish of last year (or a comparable pitcher to that).

      Hopefully Means gets a rehab extension for another 30 days. If not, this seems right to me. Does Bradish go to the pen, or does he start with one of Suarez, Kremer, or Irvin pushed to the pen? I kind of like Bradish as an opener with Irvin backing him up most of his starts.

      Grayson Rodriguez 2024

      He threw that fastball right down the shoot on a 1-2 count. That was not a case of Trout being Trout. It was a case of horrible location. I have to believe that it was not his intention to throw it there after he watched us beat Trout several times the night before with hard stuff up in the zone (Trout's only weakness). Maybe the extra day messed up something with Rodriguez's ability to execute? Maybe he just had a bad night? But this was not the case of the Angels being good. It was Grayson who was really bad.

      But, but they lost. They absorbed a loss.

      That’s probably true and Elias said he also didn’t want to call him up if he wasn’t ready to be an everyday player.   So ………. something to keep an eye on.

      Yea he has looked bad but while it’s fair to point that out, it’s also fair to point that some of this could be attributed to rust, an injury, not having a real ST, not playing in the field as much (I assume since he’s not catching?), etc…I think his timing is likely off and he’s working himself back into things. He has played 15 games. He has a multi hit game in 1/3 of his game so far. You point out all the Ks…what’s funny is all the Ks came in 5 games and he hasn’t struck out the last 4. To me the only thing that bothers me as of right now is the zero walks but it’s not something that would concern me long term.
