Reimold and Pearce are good exact players to have around in case a youngster does not perform or someone gets injured. I like them both better than Paredes who the league seems to have figured out and he has not adjusted. His advantage is he is lefthanded on a team that needs lefties. Lake is out of options which limits his usefulness considering that he has had trouble making the jump to the majors.

For all he's been through, and yes, for all the Orioles have been through while waiting for him to realize his potential..very few things would make me happier than to see this guy shine. He seems like a nice kid who has had more than his share of setbacks.I love his hustle, his batting eye and his potential. Maybe he'll never find himself, but heres one person who would LOVE to see it.

Did you get a chance to wish him a 32nd birthday yesterday? Nolan is a great guy. His career has been unfortunate.

All things considered, I think that you could argue that his career has been a mix of both fortunate and unfortunate.

After all, he has been the quintessential "9 Lives" player, hasn't he ???

Just when you think that he has exhausted his last chance as a major league player for the umpteenth time, he gets another chance ...... and his latest (chance) was a gem, having achieved an OBP of .391 in 87 plate appearances after being called up (yet again) from AAA-Norfolk on September 6th.

I can't believe this will be a repeat of 2015.

This is how the off season starts, not to impressive.

What are you talking about?

I think that he is making the presumption that our wishing Reimold a happy birthday yesterday somehow equates to Dan Duquette guaranteeing him a starting outfield position for the entire 2016 season.

Is he a Yankee or Red Sox fan?

And it was a happy 32nd birthday.

Duquette used to be a Red Sox fan, and now he's an Oriole fan.

As for "fastball," I don't know what his bag is.

I was born in Baltimore.

I've had season tickets since the Battle of Gettysburg.

I've been a fan of the Orioles since the British were kidnapping American boys on ships, precipitating the War of 1812.

How dare you question my fandom ??? :angryfire:

I crawled ashore somewhere along the Jones Falls Watershed when my gills sealed up and legs/arms grew from my thorax. I was a fan of the birds later referred to by humans as "Orioles" because they were the only animals I encountered on land which didn't try to eat me. And also because Ned Hanlon.

I've been a Oriole fan since 1960,grew up in Mass moved to Conn.been a fan probably

longer than most.

So please enlighten me, how does a sub-section of the Reimold fan club wanting him back as an outfielder impact the off season?

Even more curious ......

How does a sub-section of OH posters (weams, Roy Firestone, sportsfan9703, etc.) simply wishing Reimold a happy birthday impact the off-season ???

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.

      I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again. He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota. I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.
