Keeping him on the roster because of possible legal suits? I think you are reaching here.

We were really weak at the corner OF last season and even then it took half the season for Nolan to get called up. Once he was called up he performed much better than the guys we were throwing out there before (De Aza, Delmon, Snyder, etc.). He was putting up very good numbers this season offensively until July. He's earned his spot on the team.

There is a reasonable debate now that he's not an ideal fit for the roster, but this hasn't been a long standing thing.

So he earned his spot this year, because he was better than the mediocrity we had last year?

Who would you have rather made the roster over him? He provided an 800 + OPS bat for us for the first several months of the season.

It seems like there is a lot of complaining over Reimold going on here because there is little else to complain about.

I am responding in a thread about Reimold. So where am I complaining just to complain? Your happy with Reimold fine. I'm not.

Reimold makes over $1 million. Wouldn't Daniel Alvarez be cheaper and provide similar numbers?

Personally, I wanted to keep Borbon over Reimold. He provides more of what the Orioles need late in gamea. Speed and Defense. AND he can play CF if that need arrises.

Which is hilarious considering the fact that Rickard was having a worse year than Reimold is.

We discussed this before. In the role they are used Rickard is better in my opinion. If both were to play everyday the Nolan may be the better option. Joey crushed lefty pitching.

Nolan Reimold isn't a particularly good MLBer right now, but almost every team probably has a Reimold-esque player or worse. I don't think anyone else in our system we could plug in would provide significantly better contributions.

Yeah, I did. I figured he could not be taken serious if he could not get the name correct so I added the stat page for the REAL Daniel Alvarez..

I guess you've never heard of autocorrect? And since I can't edit, I figured you smart enough to figure out who I meant. Guess I was wrong.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
