Orioles in 1st place

I was NOT impressed with the Red Sox pitching in this series. I WAS impressed that, even with the injuries to JJ, Wieters, Schoop, that THIS team has very solid "place holders". Paredes, Cabrera, Caleb Joseph(he's been more than placeholder). Today it was Flaherty and Snider.This team has a lot of options and depth right now looks VERY competent.

Yep, good point Roy. This team has ridiculous depth, and high quality depth. They are going to have some very tough decisions to make coming up when the injured group starts to return, which will likely trim the depth a little. There are no slugs on this 25 man.

And now because you said that, their pitcher will throw a complete game shutout... or perfect game.

This can't be. Everyone knows they did not improve the team during the off-season because Duquette was being fitted for snowshoes and refused to return phone calls.

FINALLY Ortiz gets tossed #disrespectful #zipitOrtiz @Orioles @masnOrioles? Jim Palmer (@Jim22Palmer) April 19, 2015

Didn't think I could love Palmer more but apparently I was wrong! Headed over to Twitter for a follow now.....

Not a WORD on mlb.com about Ortiz. They don't even have a Wrap and video of our game. "Red Sox ready for healing on Patriots Day."

:spit:

David Ortiz is teflon. And now he has his buddies on the team, Han-Ram and the Panda. Gonna be fun watching them be rude and piss off fans/players of other teams.

We'll see how much exposure the Orioles get by the All Star break. If you win in baseball, eventually you cannot be ignored. Too many games to cover.

    • I have a hard time imagining a Trout deal will ever happen between Trout’s injuries, his contract, LAA assuredly still wanting some good prospects for him and the fact that trading the face of the franchise immediately after losing Ohtani would be an impossible sell to fans.  But even if all that were to align, I don’t see the Orioles coming out over the Phillies. If the Phillies weren’t a good team then maybe the Orioles could be a fit as otherwise closest to his hometown, but given they are also a top team Trout would likely say “I will only waive my NTC for Philly” and steer himself there. 
    • Wagner and one of those ML OFers aren’t stopping you from getting anyone. Kjerstad for Eovaldi is horrendous.
    • Perhaps he should be in the MVP conversation now. This Yahoo article has him #5 in the race. Not too shabby. https://sports.yahoo.com/checking-in-on-the-mlb-mvp-races-which-players-have-added-their-names-to-the-mix-through-the-first-third-of-the-season-213000493.html  
    • Never really thought about Mountcastle making it but when I did my voting was like he is right there because 1st base is one of weaker positions in todays game.  
    • In the ongoing discussion of CF targets, there is always the possibility that Cowser becomes the CF moving forward.  He's shown great improvement this season over what we saw last year.  Naturally, that would open another hole in LF, though LF is easier to fill than CF.  I prefer Cowser in LF, as it's a large territory to cover and he does a great job doing it, but that doesn't mean the idea of his taking over in CF is invalid.  The hope is that Mullins regains a facsimile of his prior form and puts this discussion on the backburner.  Keyword=hope... but I don't think any of us are counting on it.
    • It is amazing how little fanfare he gets on this site.  He does not make the flashy play like Gunnar at short but is the steady force that I think this team revolves around.  It is not a coincidence that this team started winning immediately when he was promoted.
