The Spring Training Overreaction Thread

Looking like another loss today. Just wow.

Yea not how we all hoped that ST would go. Again though I dont think this team is as bad as they have played but it does not exactly inspire confidence either

The Orioles have scored all their runs on homers in this game and yesterday.

It would be pretty amazing if the team was as bad as they have played.

Pretty rare a team is as bad in the regular season as the O's have been this spring.

Sort of hoping to get shutout in spring now. What a story! Would make the beginning of the regular season extra interesting.

I just don't understand how you can spend $300MM in an offseason and have your starting rotation get worse.........

Don't offer MW a QO.

Don't sign CD.

But it seems like pitching is valued much higher than in years past, I wonder why:)? Hmm...

How is Davies doing?

Bottom line: we have to spend more on getting the right player de elopement folks in here. Scouts and MLB veterans are cheap, worth the $.

The Orioles did not win, but they did get a tie.

That reminds me of when the Baltimore Colts went 0-8-1 in the strike-shortened 1982 football season.

The one tie came against the playoff-bound Green Bay Packers (5-3-1), late in the season.

When Harry Kalas was doing the highlights of the game on "This is the NFL", he said that the tie "gained the Colts a measure of respectability."

And yes, I remember watching those highlights back in late December of 1982.

And Kim even got a base hit.

Not a base hit. An infield "Baltimore Chop" base hit. Showing the wheels.

I can't wait for the reboot. Great cast despite trailer being ho-hum, looking forward to it.

Tanner Scott - phenom, TINSTAAPP, mantle of greatness, 100 mph heater - woe is him!

Remember Dylan Bundy, Matt Riley, Brian Matusz, etc., etc. :slytf:

Only time Matusz ever hit 100 was when Puig gave him a ride.

I saw Bundy got roughed up a little. Did he look bad?

No just elevated his FB and CH at times. He sat at 93/94 w movement and mid-80's w CH. When elevated, his pitches are hittable, of course. His command looks good and his breaking ball is still good.
