I think it's more of an explanation for his Japanese/Taiwanese fans and media.

Typically when big leaguers are sent to the minors it is due to performance or injury. He probably takes it as disrespect.

Also, nothing wrong with him saying he is disappointed that his routine was interrupted. If that's being a malcontent or gonna create controversy, so be it.

And if this is what passes for controversy, then our clubhouse is in very good shape.

1. If you read my posts recently, you noticed I have been lobbying for him as of late:) I didn't see it, but good stuff!

2. You thought Parmalee was nothing that we don't already have, I strongly disagreed. We will see who is right.

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought you and I had been going back and forth arguing about Lough with you arguing against him?

Once De Aza was gone Rene mellowed on Lough.

To be honest, getting rid of de Aza was my biggest wish concerning the OF. That said, I think Lough deserves a bit more time. If he doesn't pick things up with the bat, so be it.

That's right because despite Lough's putrid bat I realize we have a large group of below average OFers defensively.

Man, I am loving this Parmalee night! Watching this guy in person on Sat made me realize that this guy belongs in the majors and he can really hit. What gets me is his batting eye, he knows the strike zone.

But that's the thing, he never does. He shouldn't get any more at bats than he is getting right now. When he plays more, he gets caught on the base paths and starts trying to hit the ball in the air/not work the count. I am not sure what it will take to convince some individuals that Lough is simply not a starter.

Eh, your guy is 0 for his last 2. That's not going to cut it. :)

Ha! I was hoping for a grand salami:)

Another former first rounder...

Seriously, we have to trade one of these guys....it's gotta be Snider in my eyes. Buck likes Young too much. Parmalee and Reimold are hot. Lough is your defensive replacement....

I'd keep Snider over Lough, but I understand the other point of view.

Someone in the O's organization had their calculator working.

Parmelee comes into the season with 2 year, 58 days worth of service time. He is called up with 111 days left in the season. If he stays all the rest of the season he will have 2 year, 169 day. That is 3 days short of a full season.

If he stays with the O's the rest of the season he will be a super 2 and be eligible for arbitration. But the O's can get a exact year of service from him before free agency because he is three day short of a year of service.

      I thought Chisholm missed home too. They didn’t appeal tho I don’t think.

      Inexcusable missed call in NY. Review Cleo at showed Chisholm out at 2nd. They upheld safe call.

      Elias: It's on me

      Well, good on posters who proved the SSS side of "Guards Ball." I just found it striking in terms of the narrative in that article, which was basically the same as what most around here were complaining the O's lacked: clutch hitting, passing the baton, aggressive running, getting runners in from third, etc. I guess the real bottom line is "whatever works." Which of course varies from case to case. The old Bill James postseason wisdom was that HRs are the ticket, since you face good pitching and get so few hits. So back to you, Elias, keep crunching those numbers...

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      First, the had a jump in 23’ given how terrible they had been previously, which conditions many fans in the marketplace not to care. They simple weren’t relevant for years. So one very good regular season will not undue years of being bad/irrelevant and treating your customers terribly. Next, I think they missed an opportunity in the offseason by not doing enough by way of big/bold attention grabbing moves. Now I acknowledge that this was most likely due to the ownership flux/transition. I believe they got an attendance/marketplace engagement boost when they changed owners and when they traded for Burnes. However, I believe we would have seen more engagement attendance with say a big Gunnar extension and/or bringing in a big time FA.   IMO this would have created more buzz before the season (say around the time people make season tix decisions - IMO before Christmas is when some people make those bigger purchases). All of this is to say, that it will take time and effort on the organizations part because of how bad of a stain that the Angeloses left. I still have friends and colleagues who refuse to support the Orioles and attend games due to the damage that was done. Rubenstien & co are not going to be able to undo 30 years of awfulness overnight. But IMO it is not enough to simply call it “a new chapter”. They have to make new/different actions to distinguish themselves from who the Orioles were/used to be under the Angelos regime.

      Just checking in on Gameday, Yankees looking incredibly vulnerable.  Should be the Os out there.  Super lame.  Whichever team wins this series I hope gets knocked out by CLE or DET.

      If the franchise were better, the fan base would be too.  It’s been a rough 40 years.
