Jim Palmer’s beard


Frobby

Recommended Posts

Is there some reason Palmer doesn't look at either guy he is working with on the broadcast during the pregame broadcast?

Brown seemingly cannot take his eyes off of Palmer when Palmer is talking, but Palmer never looks at whoever is his broadcast partner.

By the way, the bobblehead had Palmer in an all-orange uniform. When did the O's wear all-orange uniforms?

1974 or so?   Terrible look.  
 

Edit - 1971 when they had 4 20 game winners!  Google Orioles all orange uniforms and you’ll see what I mean.

First question....because Kevin Brown looks like the guy from Mad Magazine and Palmer is afraid he’ll bust out laughing if he looks at him while trying to talk?

Orange unis, 1971.

(I don't mind this orange uniforms, fwiw.)

I don't much care for the black jerseys (other than as a reminder that the work week is over, but I'd like to see an all-black uni some day, like the New York Giants briefly wore early in the last century.

The black jerseys are okay, I hate the O's hat though.  Dunno why they'd miss an opportunity to wear an all black cartoon bird hat...or a black hat cartoon bird hat with an orange brim.

Two things wrong with the O's hat: it's ugly, and it uses the wrong apostrophe.

I have an Oklahoma State cap with a squarish O that is much, much nicer.

IIRC, they only used those uniforms once or twice.  

The uniforms came from a sporting goods store that Brooks owned.  Boog Powell hated them, made him look like a giant pumpkin.  A couple years later he had an all red uniform in Cleveland, and became the giant tomato instead.

    • It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.
    • Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.
    • O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted. 
    • No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.
    • The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.
    • I would be very surprised if every last one of the GM's Elias talks to about quality starting pitching doesn't start by asking about Westburg and the rest.  Again, I think it's a mistake to believe that the O's have a ton of leverage here.  They certainly have some, and Elias is smart and disciplined, but I don't see any bargains.  I especially don't see the luxury of acting like youth and multiple years of control is any kind of rigid starting point for the O's.
    • I say this as someone who defended Cowser like 2 posts ago, but like his fWAR number is entirely dependent on how much you're buying his defense.  I can totally buy the argument that maybe OAA is overrating him a bit, so he's not really on pace to be a 5.5 win player.  The OAA number is pretty eye-popping.
