I'm game for anything that moves Norris out of the rotation at this point. He has been horrific. Is it just me or is Norris terribly inconsisten?

Bud was getting better and then got that same food poisoning/stomach flu that Pearce went thru. At the very least he gets a pass to his next start or three. They're not going to rush Gasman back from injury...

From playing Fantasy Baseball I've noticed that Bud's whole career is the epitome of inconsistent. He'd put together a few great starts with high K's and make you think he could be a decent #2 and then he would go a few starts and strikeout 2 or 3 guys and look lost or flustered. Sometimes it looks like his emotions get the best of him and that may be why he goes on those hot/cold streaks. When he was with Houston I thought he had a lot of potential but it just seems like he found out who he was early in his career and never really progressed too much more.

I eagerly await his every start. Pulling hard for the guy.

I am still irritated about his ejection vs. Boston.

I'm happy with Ubaldo's performance, but let's not go overborard. He's had three very good starts, two not very good ones, and one that began well but got cut short due to his ejection so we really don't know how that would have turned out if he'd stayed in. I'm definitely not complaining, but need to see continued success for a while before getting too excited.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
