Yea it was a good AB. He was duped into a weak swing on a slider that ended up behind his legs.

"Duped" is the perfect word here... and Huff knew it too... just a good pitch...

So was the one that duped the ump into calling strike 3 on Ramon... the ump called it where the C caught it, not where it didn't cross the plate...

Go Reds! Cito Sucks! Kill the Blow Jays! I love being able to say that again... even if it doesn't exactly jive with other messages I've been posting lately. :o

Please tell me I wasn't the only one who got a Cito Still Sucks shirt last week?

Well now we need to get 3 off of Wood. We've done that against better pitches so let's see what we can do.

Well it will be the first time I see Wood close. Shd be interesting--he has 4 blown saves.

Sarfate should channel this effort into every game.

Dunno if you heard it, but a while ago Palmer was talking about how Sarfate told him he figured out something about his motion, and Palmer agrees that the thing Sarfate was talking about was right...

      What happens next? Mayo debut or Holliday back up?

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Now we’re on to Mateo.  Nope.  My turn to ask the question.   If Mayo comes up and is average defensively at 3B and puts up an .800+ OPS at 3B and Westburg continues to hit and plays 2B what do you do with Holliday short term and long term?

      No, I don't have Holliday penciled into the HOF. I never said that. What I said is that I believe in his talent. I don't think that many people got it wrong in his evaluation.  I also don't believe that Mayo's defense is anywhere close to good enough to be an All-star caliber 3B. But I do believe that is possible (maybe even very for Westburg). I'm not sure that professional sports is a meritocracy. In that the more talent/ability that you have, the more opportunities that you will get. That probably explains why Holliday got the first crack at the Bigs over Norby (and even Mayo to a degree).  Last thing, right now Mateo is performing best at the other INF spot (second best). Do you want him to stay/get more playing time right now?

      They will be cautious with Holliday now.  I am sure they would hate to have to send him down a second time.  I'm thinking mid-season for Holliday if all goes well in Norfolk.  If he struggles down there, which isn't out of the realm of possibility, it could be delayed further.  Mayo is destroying the ball and should get the call next.  There is a spot for him at third with Westburg moving to second.

      IMO we will see a move by June 1st for either Holliday or Mayo (maybe both) as the O’s schedule June to all-Star break is tough as nails.

      Markakis being inducted into Os HOF

      By Too Tall · Posted

      I watched The Crow. Heck of a pinch hitter in the Glory Years - delivered big hits fairly often. Probably gets added credit for tenure as hitting coach. That's all I got.

      It COULD be a track meet in facing Elly De La Cruz

      By HelenaEngineer · Posted

      Yes - and he is also in that 22-23 age range. My only hesitation with him is that he had a half-season of well below league average offense in 2022 and a full season of slightly below league average offense in 2023.  I think he needs a bit longer run of doing something similar to what he is doing now to totally put 2022-23 in the rear-view mirror, but I don't doubt it could happen, especially considering how young he is.  Four players, that young, with that much talent, all playing the same position and bursting into stardom in such a tight time window is remarkable.

      Can someone explain Terry Crowley to me? I was too young to watch him play. Is he being inducted as a coach or for longevity with the organization? He had less plate appearances and was a worse overall hitter for the Orioles than Luke Scott. I'm not trying to be a hater, just trying to understand.
