LOOGY's are people, too !!!

Or, there will be a LOOGY on the Orioles. O'Rourke could be the Orioles' LOOGY one day. I will say, "Hmm," not, "Meh."

I don't provoke unless provoked. We're all entitled to our opinion here. It was a lousy signing in my opinion. If you like it, then embrace it. I don't happen to share your opinion.

I don't care for the signing myself. I doubt we will ever discuss him as a major player in the Orioles universe. I took your post as far more than that. And your opinion as simply another shot. But yeah. We all can say what we wish. Happy Holidays.

Made his second rehab appearance today and struck out all three batters he faced, as he did in his first outing.    Time to get him out of the GCL and see what he can do in Frederick or Bowie next time.

You know you're team is having problems when someone re-opens this thread from last year for a 30 year old who's basically done nothing in the majors.  

I've had a pretty good hunch for some time now that the Orioles are having problems.

I just don't think he's a major league piece unfortunately.  He overachieved to get as far as he did, but for his sake I hope his finds success elsewhere.

Fun fact: His UVA teammate Danny Hultzen was drafted 2nd overall in 2011 and didn't make it past AA, Wilson was drafted 305th overall the same year and has thrown 145.1 MLB innings.

Even more fun fact: Hultzen finally made it to the majors last week, after a long series of injury derailments that make Dylan Bundy’s and Hunter Harvey’s look mild by comparison.    As I may have mentioned elsewhere, Hultzen grew up in my neighborhood.   His father was a neonatologist who was on duty at the hospital the day my daughter (same age as Hultzen) was born.

Seen a couple dudes this year getting called up after toiling forever.

Brian Moran making his debut at 30 after being drafted in 2009.

Similiarly Enderson Franco was an international signee from 2009 as well— hasn’t played yet but he’s in San Fran.

Ryan Court was outrighted already but debuted at 31 years old this year, drafted 23rd round in 2011 like Hultzen.

Not as long a wait but Bubba Starling finally made it this year.  He was the selection after Bundy in the stacked 2011 draft.

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.

      Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.

      If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
