I hope Paul Folkemer reads or hears about what Im going to say:

Paul Folkemer is an outstanding baseball writer with great tools for analysis and insight. I also think he has a terrific sense of irony and the true instincts for what makes a story. If I was producing anything about baseball and I needed a great staff he's the very first person I would hire.

I would agree.

If you included the St. Louis browns, the "longest" surname would belong to...

Dale Long

I remember when Don Mattingly tied his all-time Major League record of hitting a home run in 8 consecutive games in 1987.

Incidentally, Mattingly broke the American League record when he did that, which was shared by 6 players ...... 2 of which played for our franchise.

Reggie Jackson: 6 Consecutive games in 1976 (Baltimore Orioles)

Ken Williams: 6 Consecutive games in 1922 (St. Louis Browns)

Chris Davis joined Jackson and Williams for a share of the franchise record by equaling their feat in 2012.

Thanks, but, as I stated in my opening post, I am referring to the modern day Orioles' longest surname. To clarify I've edited my recent post on Terdoslavich,

Here's some interesting background on

Gene DeMontreville

I know you only meant the modern Oze... my posting about ENap wasn't meant as a correction; was just trying to include ALL the major league Oze. Too many of us seem to ignore Ned Hanlon's 19th century juggernaut, and I like to right that wrong whenever I can :)

Somewhere the Portocarrero family is partying, celebrating the downfall of yet another contender to the crown. :)

The insecurities of the surviving members of the 1972 Dolphins are rubbing off on different sections of society.

    • Litmus test - do you wish Baumann on to the Mariners for their Yankees series next week? In Brash and Santos they have a couple power RH RP they hoped to have that they don't have going into the middle of the season. PitchingBot's ERA estimator pegs 2024 Baumann a 4.25 guy - the Mariners present active roster has Kirby Snead and Gabe Speier worse than that.     Austin Voth is better. I believe at any instant in the DFA period a club can offer some little something and Elias can say okay at a moment's notice. Last 14 Days - the worst team ERA's as RP are TEX-MIN-KCR-OAK-PIT To @Warehouse's point about flimsy peripherals, Fangraphs Last 14 Days RP split also has the fun fact that BAL has the 3rd worst fWAR.     BAL's 2.09 ERA is Top 5 MLB-wide in that same span.
    • https://sports.yahoo.com/cal-ripken-jr-believes-orioles-133210532.html I would have typically seen this is nothing more than an ex-Oriole having some thoughts, but now that Cal is part owner, I find it a bit more interesting. 
    • I agree with you. I believe there is a trade being worked out that involves Baumann plus other pieces. I hate to lose our youth, but I’m sadly prepping for it.
    • I love his aggressiveness on the bases...sometimes he gets a little too "ambitious", but I admire his fire as he legs out doubles and triples...I just hope he stays healthy...
    • Thanks for the info, Roy. I didn't see how they could keep him down much longer, and I was really disappointed for him when I saw that he had broken a rib. It sounds like if it isn't too bad we will still get to see him in Baltimore pretty soon.
    • The Syracuse Chiefs?  Las Vegas Aces?
    • If the bolded is true, they are most likely talking to someone (if not Gunnar - Adley). Rubenstein is no idiot (like John Angelos was). He knows that the long term viability from a business standpoint is not in allowing #35 and #2 get away and go elsewhere. For those who have been to games this season, it is clear to see from all of those jerseys around the stadium who the fans have fallen in love with. Extensions are standard operating procedure in MLB currently (even for the lowest budget teams not name Athletics). The Orioles under JA were operating as an outlier. That trend is very unlikely to continue under Rubenstien. He appears to care too much to allow that to happen. IMO the Orioles must retain at least one of Gunnar or Adley AND others if they want to grow their fanbase in the market. You have to have a face or 2 of the franchise to sell and for people to continue to come see and fall in love with. Long gone are the days when people are simply loyal to institutions.
