Adam is knocking the cover off the ball lately. Last two or three weeks. Do that thang that you do Adam!

Yes, I know. Still. At times it is just so extreme as to approach absurd. As if he is almost deliberately deciding in advance to swing at every pitch unless he literally cannot reach it without jumping off the ground or bending till his knees touch the ground.

He went to RF today. 1st or 2nd AB. That's all I need to see. ;)

I understand, I get it. I know. Just at times a minimum of discipline would come in handy. But he has none, I get it. I have watched every game he has played as an Oriole. I get it.

He is what he is. He attacks everything and has minimal plate discipline. When it works it is great, but I swear, if I am an opposing manager I would fine any pitcher of mine who threw him a strike until he had walked at least once.

      T. Rowe Price O's new jersey sponsor

      By Anziyan · Posted

      So some inside baseball on the deal: - Valued at ~$75 Million over the life of the deal; my source didn't have have the length other than "multi year" but based on what other teams get for the jersey patch and everything else that's coming with it I would think it has a 3-5 year term. -Includes a ton of stadium signage; you will the Sheep in the dugouts, on the wall behind press conferences, on the outfield wall, on the scoreboard.  Source couldn't confirm my suspicion that they are going where "The Sun" used to be. -Is a rework of the deal they had with Angelos for stadium naming.  This is all conjecture on my part but with the huge amount of signage and TV visibility that comes with this I can't see them selling the stadium naming. -TRP employees get a 20% discount and an Orioles hat

      It might be fun for the '27 Orioles to eclipse the '27 Yankees.

      That was the best pitched series the Orioles had this year.

      Then how does Bradish get in that series? Right now he’s in line for Thursday. They’d have to pitch him Wednesday.

      2023-24 Braves OPS+ scan C Murphy 126 --> D'Arnaud 115     (Murphy just settling into his season after a 2022 Adley like first quarter absence) 1B Olson 163 to 112 2B Albies 125 to 106 SS Arcia 98 to 79 3B Riley 129 to 84 LF Rosario 101 --> Kelenic 103 CF Harris 115 to 83 RF Acuna 169 to 105 DH Ozuna 139 to 177 Something I loved about the 2023 Braves that I hope some future Orioles team has enough good health to do is they basically said "peace out" to the back of the bench because the best 10 guys in the position player group were so strong.    I want to see a yearly outcome when Heston Kjerstad is the worst guy getting even 100 of the ~6800 PA. It has been an interesting 3 year run with regular season and postseason success contrasts as Bryce's team has outplayed them twice following the 2021 championship.    ATL-PHI still probably heading for their parallel to BAL-NYY as a likeliest divisional series matchup, and for some fans that result matters much more than who wins 104 and who wins 96 games.

      The Yankees were averaging 5.10 runs/game when we played them.  We held them to 6 runs in 4 games, .557 OPS.  Since then, they’ve averaged 5.17 runs/game. The Reds were averaging 4.84 runs/game when we played them.  We held them to 2 runs in 3 games, .313 OPS.  Since then, they’ve averaged 4.25 runs/game. The Rays were averaging 4.00 runs per game when we played them.  We held them to 7 runs in 4 games, .460 OPS. I think I’d rank it Reds, Yankees, Rays, considering both the strength of our performance and the strength of the opposing offense.  But all three were spectacular series from a pitching standpoint.  This team can pitch.
