Another good sign for Bynum is that of all of those ground balls, nothing has gone through the left side of the infield. I'm just judging this from Gameday of course, I don't know if he's stopped anything up the middle or in the hole that was particularly impressive.

So, I just started watching (lots of regular shows I wanted to watch tonight). Has Thorne said "Hey, that's Freddy Bynum" on pretty much every play he's made? Because, if so, not only is that awesome, I think he should do it for as long as Bynum is out there.

Is it bad that was following this game via Yahoo Sports while I was sitting in class tonight? LOL ;)

Go O's!! :D

Just kinda dumb that they put WiFi in classrooms and expect students to pay attention... how stupid is that?

    • Oh sure, I'm very confident in Elias picking this low as I feel they do a good job of identifying what they like,  and it doesn't have to be just the top guys.  I won't be surprised at all if whomever they take ends up being better than expected for the slot they are picked in the end.   But it's just harder for me to keep up as the guy they draft is very unlikely to be someone I know much about.   When we are picking top 2-5 you really only needed to study 4 to 7 guys or so to be fairly certain you knew about who our guy would be.   Now there are probably 30ish guys who COULD go at number 22.  The top 10 will likely be gone and the guys after #40 or so won't be likely, but anyone in the 11 to 40ish range could be the pick of some fall or rise on our boards.  I'll be watching it closely on draft day,  but until then it's just too speculative to really dive into IMO. I do wonder how much harder it is to prepare for this kind of a draft as an organization.   When you are picking top 5, you can really narrow the focus down on 7-8 guys and really dive in deep to decide your board and who you take if available.  With being in the low 20s, you need to research many,  many more guys but probably not in nearly the depth you did while picking higher. 
    • There was a fair amount. A lot of posts said Burnes was just a replacement for Bradish who was destined for TJS, that we needed to sign Montgomery, and when we didn’t there was quite a bit of frustration. I also wanted Montgomery, but we seem to be doing just fine without him. 
    • It's no secret that Anthony Santander and Cedric Mullins are off to slow starts, one having a batting average of .206 and OPS of .665, the other with BA of .200 and OPS of .668. But if you think the Orioles are the only team with highly-regarded outfielders having their troubles, I give you the Rays and Randy Arozarena. Arozarena has batted twice so far today, striking out with two runners on base each time.  He is batting .138 with an OPS of .484.
    • Did Yohan Ramirez clear waivers? I haven't seen any news about him one way or another.
    • Glad to see Henderson get a day off of his feet.
    • Still batting Santander cleanup I see.
