My group of friends definitely calls him Jimmy Walls. "To the window... OVER THE WALL!"

We also think his name sounds like a hitman of sorts. "Jimmy Walls will make you sleep with the fishes"

The name Jimmy seems to that. Ha.

Let's hope he hads in a few more walks and somehow continutes this improbable good start to his season.

Babe Ruth.

You better not be thinking he need to "learn to be nor selective at the plate."

Ride this ride as far as it goes my friend. This is not reality.

He just put down a beautiful bunt down the 3B line. I like him even more for that.

That was impressive. I heard on the radio and there was no video highlight on mlb.com, but like Joe or Fred said, he saw the 3B playing back and took advantage. And apparently it was a PERFECT damn bunt! How many red-hot hitters would do that instead of trying to hit a 2B or HR?

To heck with red-hot hitters.

How many MLB batters can lay down a perfect bunt when they want to bunt to get on base?

At least no one is trying to call him Red.

That isn't too bad, actually. Better, though, the one I have in mind needs to wait for him to homer twice in a game: "You want a home run? Watch me hit a pair o' deeze!". But like I said, "Red" could be a half-decent backup. Its main trouble is that it'd be too matchey-matchey with "Chad". Being formulaic is not the best thing in this kind of situation. :)

Manfred's been doing it for a while.

That's too bad. Living in New York, I don't hear Fred and Joe's voices anymore. Have mlbtv and get to hear Gary and Palmer though.

I still wish I could take credit for hit Paredes. Freddd :mad:

      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.
