Just did the first video for a series I want to try and do during the season. I covered some Spring Training topics, as far as position battles, the impact of the World Baseball Classic to the camp, and some players to watch for. I know I'm not that 11 year old girl that got to interview Machado, but hey, had to start somewhere! Hope you guys (and gals) like it and hope it's something that can last all season. If there are certain topics you want mentioned, or video ideas, let me know!

*Admins and mods, if the video isn't a good idea, please delete and let me know*

Hope you like the series name too!

I went over to the Pirates/Rays game today in Bradenton mainly to see Mallex Smith.  He is smaller than I thought but has speed and a great arm.  His bat tool is the big mystery.  He tried bunting, hit a sharp line out, made nice running catch and throw in CF.  I'm not a scout (NS) but think he's Mookie light or JBJ light right now.  His arm is better than JBJ.

The Orioles are 11-6-1 in Spring Training games so far.

They are 10-6-1 in games counted by MLB and the Orioles, and 1-0 in a game against the Dominican Republic. 

They have won 8 out of their last 9 games.

      I would have loved Mayo to get reps at 1B in 2023.

      I generally agree with this. However, Mayo reportedly got extra pre-game practice at first yesterday and when he entered the game he played 1B with Rivera sticking at 3B.  So those positions could be flipped in your left pitcher lineup.

      O's .300 hitters

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Forget .300, the O's don't even have somebody hitting 285. Gunnar is the closest at 282.  You look around the AL competitive teams, here are their hitters batting 280 or more: Yankees: Judge (321), Soto (285) Red Sox: Yoshida (290), Wong (287), Duran (287), Refsnyder (284) Twins: Correa (310), Miranda (292) Royals: Witt (331), Fermin (286)...Perez is close at 275 Astros: Alvarez (308), Diaz (301), Altuve (301), Pena is close at 271 The Tigers have none. The Mariners have none. The best hitters AVG wise on the O's this year:  Gunnar - 282 Westburg - 269 Mountcastle - 265 Adley - 254 O'Hearn - 254 Cowser - 242 Santander - 241 Mullins - 233 And it's not like this team is a patient team.  I think the issue here is the young guys are doing what young guys do. They struggle. Cowser was gangbusters, then bad, then gangbusters, then bad. Holliday was bad, gangbusters, now he's bad. Mayo has just been bad. And the top of the lineup rarely hits on all cylinders. It's like 1 of them hit each day and that's it.

      Irvin claimed by Twins

      By jabba72 · Posted

      I was shocked when he wasnt claimed the first time so good news for him that he gets to continue pitching in the MLB I guess. Elias clearly only saw him as AAA depth at this point .

      Irvin claimed by Twins

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Would have much rather kept Irvin in the system over Burch Smith or Kimbrel. I hated when they DFAd him the first time, and disliked it a second time.  It wouldn't shock me to see Cole Irvin have a longer, effective career from here on out than Trevor Rogers, for example.

      I understand keeping Kimbrel as a face-saving move. But why Smith? Is he a guy you want to use with anything on the line? Is there a belief he can be made over to help after this year?
