Something I just thought of and not looking forward to is hearing "Fenway South" more often and a sea of red and blue out cheering the home crowd, ugh.

I am looking forward to the Orioles coming out to SD this year though. I'll be going see them with all my gear no matter how bad they are.

I think we can just about forget everything we thought we knew about this team.  I think every player will look different out there, or they will not be back or part of the future anyway.  

 

There will be different learning curves, and new leaders in the clubhouse, and they will all RUN everywhere.  

 

I cant wait.

Run? You mean hustle or base stealing? Because I've not heard any of the new leaders advocating that.

I DO want to see big Mark, and to a lesser extent a "skinny" #19, RUN to first even when he hits one out!  If not, he gone!  ⚾

Wear your AJ or Manny jersey 'cause they will be "Pad's"!

I'm guessing hustle, not base stealing.  But I wouldn't guarantee 125% effort 125% of the time.  It's going to be a pretty hot August, 36 games out of first, watching Andrew Cashner give up six in three.  Would you Billy Ripken it into first when you're out by 11 steps?

To answer the question, absolutely,  if my man Brandon is standing at the top of the dugout steps.

 The "uber-fit" Bundy got hurt "hustling" from first to third on a someone's double last year and was "broken" for remainder of season.  Lost command, velo, etc.  Can we get one of these lumbering beasts to do the same this year?  Mark's knee will explode!

I think they have. I believe Hyde said his job as coach was to get the guys ready to play and complete every night.

While he didnt say the word hustle. To me its implied.

Hyde was emphatic on running hard, in one quote I saw... Said it was what he was all about.

 Meant I had not heard base stealing. Poor linguistics.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      This seems to be happening quite frequently around the league. Which makes me rethink the idea of giving players early extensions in their young careers. Baseball is a difficult game and no season in a player's career is exactly like another.  Baseball is a volatile game. There's so many things that can happen to a player's habits and mechanics that can change his results in the game. (Speaking of no season being the same, how many batting stances did we see Cal Ripken Jr go through over the course of his career? ALOT.)

      Heyman on deadline targets

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      No. And having said that, Basallo is not known for his defense as a catcher either. He's known as a power hitter. Adley is by far the better catcher. Basallo has been compared to Yordan Alvarez of the Astros. Great hitter. He's in the lineup for his bat and you just hope he can play adequate defense. Any expectations of him usurping Rutschman as an every day catcher is wishful thinking. He could still develop as a catcher because he's young, in which case he could become something like the Royals' Salvador Perez. But I would in no circumstances trade Basallof for Chrochet.

      What does the Bradish injury really mean?

      By rudyrooster · Posted

      If it turns out that Bradish is done for the season or has to spend extended time on IL,  might the O's make the move to sign Trevor Bauer?  He's pitching very well in the Mexican League.  Wouldn't surprise me to see some team sign him between now and the trade deadline.  Just askin...

      I wouldn't put it past the O's offense to carry them in a similar way. But I wouldn't want to count on it, either.  (For reference on the difference, looks like Texas scored 5.71 runs/game during the postseason last year. The O's are at 5.07 runs/game this season.)

      Totally 💯 agree with you . The problem is agents like Boras are asking 8-10 years deals with pitchers opt-outs sprinkling in them .

      I'm hoping the PRP injection wasn't just buying Bradish a few months only delaying the inevitable Tommy John surgery. If Bradish ends up going under the knife there's a decent chance we won't see him again until 2026. Bradish was throwing really hard tonight so I'm hoping it's just some soreness from overexerting himself and he'll be fine with a little time off. This isn't encouraging and Elias is going to be busy working the phones for pitching help the next 45 days.

      Thats why its nuts to sign a pitcher for 8-10 years...they break, all of them, eventually...
