Nolan is older than Nick.

Yep... that was my point. Nothing against Nolan really - it's just that we've been waiting 10 long years for him to establish himself (and yes, I remember him from 10 years back in A ball) while Nick, who is actually younger, has played 10 years in the bigs.

It's just so weird to be talking about Nolan so much, when all he offers us is a back-up outfielder option. We need to move on: to starting pitching, the 1B situation, and professional corner outfielders with upside.

Lew Ford... you had to go there. The prophets foretold of him: Jeremiah 20:14 and 15 --- 14Cursed be the day when I was born; Let the day not be blessed when my mother bore me! 15Cursed be the man who brought the news To my father, saying, "A baby boy has been born to you!" And made him very happy.…

Jake Fox and Lew Ford as well. And Jack Cust.

Reimold is a cost-controlled player who had an excellent OBP (.391 in 87 plate appearances) to close out the season after he was recalled on September 6th for a team that desperately needed it (OBP.)

Do you think that NR can maintain his excellent OBP over an entire season? If he can, why do you think he has been unable to establish himself as a quality starting everyday player in the Majors over the last 6 years?

Don't you think there's a reason that at his age, with his expereince he's still a cost controlled player that can't get more than 87 plate appearances for a non-playoff team?

The main reason is obvious: injuries. Should we assume that it is impossible for him to recover? I'm not willing to go out on a limb and give him a position, but I see no reason not to bring him back and see if a healthy Reimold could live up to original expectations. His full season OBP including the time he wasn't very good in June and July, was .344, third on the team.

The .391 pace that he put up over his final 87 plate appearances of the 2015 season?

No.

A very respectable .345 -.355 OBP that this team desperately needs?

Yes.

Do you ever do anything but fart on the team and its players?

No.

With the exception of a 15-Day DL stint for a strained calf back in July of 2014, Nolan Reimold has been healthy for the 3rd consecutive season since returning from his 2013 corrective surgery.

He's also having a pretty solid season 1/3 of the way into the 2016 campaign.

Nolan Reimoild is batting .299/.367/.517 right now in 98 plate appearances.

He's in a good role. He's playing vs LHP, hitting and staying healthy. Pedro Alvarez has a 1.061 OPS in June so far. Should we have played Reimold more the first two months? Probably, but we're in a good spot now. Let him mash LHP.

      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.
