Enjoy watching hardy for the games that he plays in his last season as an Oriole.  Even if the stats don't prove it out, it is not a coincidence that the Orioles resurgence coincided with his joining the team.  True leader.

But it is not about the wins and losses with a lot of the NEGATIVE posters on this board it is about who is the "Whipping Post Player" for the current season.  By not having the normal players from other years (Nolan Reimold, Matt Wieters, Tommy Hunter, Steve Pearce, Yovani Gallardo) to degrade for 162 games, J J Hardy is now moved to the forefront except for the two days that Ubaldo and Miley pitch.   I need to put some of these posters on my ignore list.

They still have Ryan Flaherty as well. That is the one that really drives me crazy, people complaining that he isn't good enough and yet if he were any better, he wouldn't be a utility infielder.

He has been a favorite and some how I forgot to add him to the list.  I am with you on the part of "If he was better".  It takes a special player/person to do what he does at the MLB Level.  Several of the Candidates for that position of "Super Utility" would not be as tolerant of the process as has Ryan Flaherty and I might add would probably be less effective in doing it.

 

I also should add Caleb Joseph to the list as he seems to get zero respect for the job he has done over the last three years.

I am more worried about Davis. I think his K's will be up and HR's down. I think he can still productive if he is willing to change his approach, but I have not seen evidence of him doing so even when mired in a slump.

So far so good.

.364/.432/.727

I wasn't expecting much from Hardy when the season started but this is even worse than expected. He's hitting .190 and his OPS coming into today is .474

Also, back to back games where he called for pop ups out of the infield and both times they fell on the grass. Fortunately, a triple play resulted from today's defensive miscue.
