O's finalize trade for OF Michael Bourn

[Frobby]

Bourn may be this year's McLouth/De Aza giving the team a boost in the OF in Eeptember.

He's already done more for us in 5 games than Gerardo Parra did for us in 2 months.

Parra did more in his first five games with the O's than he he did in the two months.

To be fair, Parra posted an .832 OPS in his first 19 games as an Oriole. And a .508 OPS thereafter.

That's what I said!

Only without the actual looking up the facts part.

I don't want to come off as overly stat driven.

Bourn looks like he'd rather be anywhere but Baltimore lol. His facial expressions are always like FML.

Hopefully Bourn doesn't follow that same pattern. He is not traditionally a good hitter.

Not in the last few years. He was dynamite when he was younger. Just hoping he can have a hot month, as McLouth and De Aza both did.

Bourn had some of the worst body language I've ever seen in a baseball player during his HR at bat yesterday. He got mad at himself for whiffing at one of those borderline high-outside Verlander pitches and it looked like he was going to cry. A few pitches later....BOOM!

Hey, style points don't count in my book....just win, baby! Hats off to Michael Bourn!

And then the funniest thing was, after the home run, Bourn still looked glum in the dugout and seemed to be asking Chris Davis for advice on how to swing. As if he was disappointed the HR didn't go far enough! LOL! I guess we have a new disciple of the 2016 Oriole Way!

Happy to have the extra outfielder that plays outfield.

He almost had another the other night, he hit the right of the 370 foot sign near the top of the outfield wall.

"Verlander is a Bourn Loser" - to quote Joe Angel! :clap3:

Hopefully Buck is quick to switch to another option sooner rather than later if Bourn goes cold at the plate.

[Ruzious]

They traded for Bourn just to be their Verlandakilla. Anything else he contributes is a bonus.

[Roll Tide]

I know I'm being lazy ..but is Bourn a free agent at the end of the year?

With Trumbo leaving seems like he'd be nice to have around.
