As far as I know, Herb Washington was the only players ever to have himself in a pinch-running stance with the "pinch-runner" label for his position for his Topps baseball card.

Maybe Dyson can pose talking to the press for his 2015 baseball card ???

I want to punch Dyson in the face. There you go, I said it. Infraction away but I had to say it. Burns me up.

More comments from Dyson today. Says Flaherty kneed him on the pickoff attempt. Said "I'll let our sticks do the talking". Hilarious coming from a guy who is purely a pinch runner and had an OPS of .651 this year.

Anyone can find a gif of the tag?

It's available here: http://deadspin.com/jarrod-dyson-claims-an-oriole-kneed-him-for-his-comment-1646599816

I don't think it was intentional, and it wasn't even much contact, really. This whole thing has been blown way out of proportion. The media asked him a question, and he confidently answered. What was he supposed to say? "No, I think we'll lose at least 2 of these games, so we'll definitely be back in Baltimore."

I'll give you that if he was trying to be a perfectly, politically correct media boy, then he probably should have just stopped his statement when he said no he doesn't think we'll be back there rather than go on to say that he doesn't think the O's players do either. It really wasn't that big of a deal, though, and if this was a regular season series nobody would give two ****s about it.

I disagree. I bet that comment STEAMED the Orioles, but unfortunately we haven't been able to do anything about it.

In football, players make comments like that, they get hurt. Remember Mendenhall as a rookie saying he didn't think Ray hit hard? One hit...one broken shoulder. That's what the O's would love to do to Dyson, but unfortunately we can't do anything at all!

I don't care who you are. That's funny! It'd be like us having Steve Clevenger or something calling out the opponents.

I wouldn't expect anyone on the Orioles to say anything differently if the tables were turned. People need to chill.

The tables were turned. We had a 2-0 lead on the Tigers, and the sentiment from our players was, "We gotta go into Detroit and TRY to take one more game." They never said "Bet those Tigers are tucking their tails and making some tee times." They never said "We're going into the Lions den and skin us some Tigers!" And they certainly never said "We're gonna whoop their asses, and the Tigers know it!"

Good thing I'm old and don't pitch for the O's. I'd drill him in the on deck circle. I'd tell Pearce to back up and drill him at first. I can't stand guys that mouth off when their career never will be a blip on the radar.

I think there are many of us that are glad he is not in this organization.

      Grayson Rodriguez 2024

      By IPlayGM · Posted

      I was curious how GRod would pitch given that huge crowd and electric atmosphere. I feel like he has a tendency to get too amped up and overthrow. Granted I didn’t start watching until inning 3, but he looked absolutely in control and executed his pitches.  Certainly a big step forward as far as I’m concerned.

      Anthony Santander 2024

      By ChosenOne21 · Posted

      Unless Santander goes on an absolute tear the rest of the season, I don't think he turns down a qualifying offer. And even then, it'd be real easy to look at FA deals for 30-ish year old outfielders who are good regulars but not stars and realize there's a good chance he won't beat a QO in guaranteed money, especially with a QO attached. As much as I'd like the pick, I don't want to gamble 20-30M and another year of stunted opportunity for our young outfielders on Santander turning down a QO.

      Chayce McDermott 2024

      By ChosenOne21 · Posted

      Yeah, it's getting to the point where I'm not going to cry if McDermott finishes the year in AAA. I'm not against bringing him up necessarily, but he's clearly got more work to do on control/command if he wants to be a good major league starter long-term.

      By drjohnnyfever1 · Posted

      Are there any other qualifications other than signing a contract for 50+M?  A contract of that value spread over 3-4 years would give him a raise and make other teams give some consideration to sign him.  I think that's the only way a QO would work for him.  But I don't think they put him in jeopardy - altho the Orioles could match an offer, I suppose.  I think they value him pretty highly even if he won't command top money.

      Keith Law has O's taking Tommy White at #22 in latest mock draft

      By ChosenOne21 · Posted

      I did say "unlikely" before "no matter what." Now that I re-read that though, it's kind of a bizarre sentence so I can see why you interpreted it that way. Of course there's a shot a player taken at 1-22 succeeds. Elias is certainly above average at drafting, possibly well above average, but the odds are still against him here, as they are for pretty much any individual pick he makes. I'm not trying to knock Elias here, just stating the fact that the vast majority of players selected in the back of the first round don't turn into solid regulars and so you shouldn't pass up someone you think is more likely to succeed here to draft "for need." I'm certain someone who will be available at this pick will have an incredible major league career. The odds are against it being whoever we draft though. That's just math.

      I used to think we had a plethora of outfielders ready to replace the current guys, but not I'm not sure. Cowser is one. Does the FO trust Stowers? Heston is another as far as his bat goes, but how bad is the defense if you have Stowers, Cowser and Heston? How long before Bradfield is ready? Will Norby or Mayo move to the OF? Does that make it any better. If Santander has his typical year, I would give him the QO. So what if you have to pay him large for one year? It's not like our payroll is high right now.

      Colton Cowser 2024

      By Explosivo · Posted

      Or maybe he just is hesitant because he knows it’s best to give up a single than letting it get by you for a triple or inside the park homerun. I highly doubt Cowser gives a crap about WAR. There is nothing in the guy’s demeanor, personality, or anything that suggests he chases stats and places himself above the team. To say otherwise is quite ridiculous at best, and malicious at worst. He is a rookie and he will get more comfortable as he plays. With that comfortability will come trusting his ability more and more. Why even suggest a thing like you are suggesting? Just pathetic quite frankly on your part.
