Rickard stole at a 76% success rate in the minors. Brian Roberts, 79% (in the minors).

Does not conventional wisdom say anything less than 70% actually hurts the club?

Overall on average. It largely depends on the situation and the overall run environment, so the number can vary. It's usually somewhere in the 65-70% range though.

Although I said that they should keep the lineup as is, I wouldn't be surprised if he leads off tonight with Joseph in the lineup.

I think Rickard stays at 9th for a few weeks at least.

The team is winning right now, so personally, part of me says to leave the lineup alone. :)

Laughing with you, not at you. Six hours later, he's batting lead off.

Rule 5 pick Joey Rickard is leading off tonight because the lineup is being altered without Jones in it. Otherwise, he would have continued to bat ninth.

It's amazing how good Duquette is at finding productive players off the scrap heap compared to how mediocre he's been at every other aspect of being a GM. The same can be said for MacPhail as well. He was incredible at making trades but he was terrible or below average in everything else.

It is amazing that no team in the AL has won more games than the Orioles since Duquette arrived.

So glad to see Buck finally listening to me! :D But in all seriousness, doesn't surprise me. The kid is so on fire right now, and tonight showed me he has a very good eye at the plate.

On another note, any chance Joey gets his own song? "Joey" by Concrete Blonde comes to mind, but I'm old. :beerchug1:

      I  regret to hear news on Wells and Means setbacks.  I like Means because Orioles drafted and developed him .  He will be free agent this fall , should Orioles tender him or let him walk ? As for Wells, he has the stuff but durability is his drawback . Every season Orioles slotted him in starting rotation, then he gets put on IL this season, 2023 and 2022 seasons also .  When Wells returns next season  , they should slot him in bullpen permanently  , JMO

      Yes and at one point was a higher rated prospect in their system than Aaron Judge. It took awhile with the bat but he was always an amazing athlete with the ability for defensive wizardry.

      I put this ridiculousness in the game recap, but I think it belongs here as well.  Using AI you can really make some crazy stuff. 😂 https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce

      A buddy of mine made this with his AI. I figured I’d just put this here. 😂   https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      I was listening to MLB Prospects podcast last week. They talked about Gillen, and mentioned a lot about how he may be the best high school hitter. However, it’s a tough call where he’ll go because of a weak arm. They said the arm was injured, a right labrum, and his arm strength is not back after two years. So, probably wasn’t going to be a SS anyway when said and done due to size, maybe a 2B/LF or CF profile due to the weak arm and 60 speed. He was projected to maybe become the top high school player in the draft as a sophomore, but injured the shoulder and had some other injuries that have held him back. It is going to be interesting to see where Elias goes with picks 22 and 32. I would like to see Gillen there, but I think he’ll be gone. Kellon Lindsey is interesting, and maybe Billy Amick, along with one of the previous college hitters you mentioned will sneak through. Lindsey is rising fast.

      A good friend of mine coaches college baseball.  He’s studied and dedicated his career to understanding how humans move. Not all humans move the same way.  An incredible talent could potentially be taught to move against his body’s preference and fail.  New wave progressive coaches understand how various body types work and the nuance to teach/coach them effectively.
