1-2 with a hr today.

.981 OPS since 4/21 (38 games, 136 AB, 6 HR, 2 3B, 12 2B, 23 BB, 13 K)

I sometimes quote a stat used by teams to identify top hitters where the extra base hits and walks are each higher than the strikeouts. Peter Gammons mentioned this same stat in his Baseball America article in the issue I received yesterday.

For this stretch, Nolan is 1.5X higher in both xbh and BBs than Ks!

These are really superior results for a quarter season's production.

His tear lately has been a sight for sore eyes. Any chance we see him before the break?

Well, in that case, I sure hope that there really is something to that stat. ;)

In all seriousness, that does seem impressive when you frame it that way. I had never thought about that.

I haven't reviewed every post on this thread and I know I'm in the minority here, but I can hardly say with a clear mind that Reimold is going to make a major impact on the Orioles or that his season to this point is anything overly impressive.

His numbers last year in Bowie:

50 games, 15 doubles, 11 home runs, 34 RBIs, .306/.365/.930

His numbers this year in Bowie:

51 games, 12 doubles, 6 home runs, 22 RBIs, .277/.373/.841

Granted, his K:BB ratio is vastly improved and it can be argued they are pitching around him, but for a 24-year-old prospect, I would hope to see him duplicate the power numbers from last year if we want to believe he's a future 5-hole hitter in the bigs. Remember, last year in Bowie, Rhadames Liz was 24 and was absolutely dominant. Now he's working his way through Norfolk with ups and downs after getting blown up in Baltimore. Many now consider him a reliever.

I'd be very surprised if Reimold ends up being anything more than a journeyman career fifth outfielder.

I'm not sure why you'd look at Reimold's numbers this year and not take account of the trend upward.

      Os claim Nick Avila

      By OnlyOneOriole · Posted

      This is a secondary or more accurately a thirdly or even a fourthly move.  Something he does all of the time.  It means next to nothing.  Elias loves to do this kind of thing.  And overall......it doesn't matter!   He may hit 1 out of 11 or even 2 out of 20 of these things....which is fine!  It is all reward and no risk.  So whatever.    At the very least it provides depth in the minor leagues.  Will it make or break the Os?  Hell no. If you can't tell the difference between me talking about Elias's fascination with other teams high velocity/high spin castoffs who can't stay on the major league club, and real actual major league moves?  Then you haven't been paying attention. I could give you 5 examples just in the past year.  Just another example of people like you COMPLETELY lying about a post I make.  And don't worry......you aren't alone.  Lots of people do it on here.  Again.....it doesn't matter.  This move.  Doesn't matter.   But if you want to call me a troll for you thinking I THINK that these types of moves somehow invalidate what Elias has done here overall for the past 5 years?   Then you be you.    But it isn't true.

      At what cost? You weren't getting Cease for DL Hall and Ortiz or it would have happened. Would you have been fine trading away Westburg or Cowser+ for him? At least he's having an up year from 2023. 2023 2024

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      For me, it’s not about Moore’s tournament performance as much as his apparent ability to square the ball up and use the entire field. Legit power and hit tool.

      Right, which is why the Tigers kicked in 18M.

      Norby was cleaner at 2B, but Moore has better athleticism. Moore would need a lot of work to stay on the dirt. I would think they want to move him quickly, whichever team takes him.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      3. There was a lot of second guessing of the Verlander trade at the time.  Verlander was seen by many as a pitcher who's best days where behind him.
