The fact that the Yankees signed BRob and projected him to be the starter tells me they have no one else ready to step in. They won't cut BRob after a slow spring training. Now, check back in May and if he's struggling then he might be gone, but not now.

I am actually glad for this on multiple levels. Glad that Brob is still playing somehow, glad that he me actually have a starting MLB job, glad that we got his best years and absolutely ecstatic that the Yank's went from Cano to an aging veteran in production at the position!

Pedro Strop - Has pitched 3 scoreless innings this spring.

Jake Arrieta - He has not pitched at all.

I'm very impressed with Arrieta.

He hasn't given up any hits or any runs, and he's been extremely pitch-efficient.

Thanks, and I am totally on board with this, in fact, at some point down the road, I wouldn't mind seeing 162 for first offense and 2nd offense lifetime ban.

Yah! So a false positive can now cost an innocent player half the season!

All the while a disproportionate percentage of the work place claims to suffer from ADHD.

No, actually a false positive requires, testing the sample b from the same collection date.

Bleacher Reports makes a case that false positives is false.

The idea of "false positives" is false, and the chance of sneaking a new drug past the testers is one that we haven't seen for the better part of a decade, discrediting the myth of the cheaters always being ahead of the testers.

How is that making a case? They are just declaring something. I can go ahead and say "All Elephants are red." Did I just make a case?

You don't honestly believe, after the last one that had the audacity to disagree with the owners was fired, that any arbiter will find against the owners do you?

And like I said, Amphetamine use is still winked at, as long as you are not stupid it's fine.

      Holliday optioned, McKenna recalled

      By OnlyOneOriole · Posted

      Didn't see today's game in it's entirety but I will say this.  I feel 100% more confident with Mateo playing second and turning  a DP rather than JH right now.  JH will be fine there.  In time.   But even forgetting his hitting, D wise he just isn't there yet.   And yes I know the metrics say he is fine.  But to me he looked very shaky fielding and throwing,

      I like Kevin.  He is constantly improving.  My only beef is that he doesn't seem to understand that a foul ball isn't always out of play.   A ball can be hit foul, but still be in the field of play.

      2024 NFL Draft Discussion

      By Hallas · Posted

      My preferred day 3 WR would have been Troy Franklin, but he apparently had a bad combine on positional drills (which might have been because he had the flu.)  And he got picked by Denver pretty early.   Devontez Walker is kind of intriguing.  He's 6'2", barely.   A bit on the skinny side but ran in the mid-4.3s.  His route tree is pretty limited, mostly short quickouts/slants and go/post routes. But he's really good at the deep routes.  Sort of a discount DK.  He's reported to have good hands and good deep ball tracking ability as well.  We have to see how that translates in the pro game.

      Adley Rutschman 2024

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Adley looks way more energized and McCann is veteran catcher who is good defensively and handles the pitchers well.  Doesn't really make sense to wear Adley out when the O's are using him at the top of the lineup.

      Just seems like a more controlled swing from the right side, shorter, flatter.

      Orioles #30 Prospect Brandon Young - RHP

      By Frobby · Posted

      He was signed in the Covid year when they only had a 5 round draft, which is why he was undrafted.  Was showing promise bur tore his UCL in 2022.  Pitched a little last year, this is his first full year back.  Nice to see the good outing.

      Orioles #30 Prospect Brandon Young - RHP

      By now · Posted

      What's up with Brandon Young? Out of nowhere (#30 prospect above... undrafted?) he goes 3 IP with 0 hits or walks, and 7 Ks, throwing an otherworldly 26 of 31 pitches for strikes, in Bowie's game today.
