Not a problem....I couldn't do what you do. Thanks for the info in the minors...I look there first. Always looking for hope.

I appreciate you reading it and for the kind words.  I try to proof-read the report well but since I am doing them early in the morning I have on occasion missed a mistake or two.  Thanks for catching it today.  There is hope in the system for sure.

Monday's (7/29) Summary:

http://www.orioleshangout.com/2019/07/30/minor-league-game-summaries-7-29-2019/

Quote

Mountcastle's three-hit night extended his hitting streak to 13 games, matching a previous career-high that he set in 2018 with Double-A Bowie. Over his current 13-game run, the 22-year-old has batted .446 (25-56) with three home runs, eight doubles, 13 RBI and eight multi-hit contests. Monday's three-hit performance also upped his league-leading hit total to 128.

He has am .868 OPS in Norfolk, where the air is heavy and Christian Walker went to die.

Just think, if Norfolk had the juiced MLB balls a couple years ago we might still have Walker here and Davis doesn’t get a big contract...

Despite folks deriding the juiced ball effect on Mountcastle. He's still dominating the league with his bat. A lot of hits. And he hits them hard.

      The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.

      How much different? They sat Judge yesterday, they threw their playoff starters for 5+ innings yesterday and today. They are also playing for the best record in the AL. They aren't mailing it in.

      2024 Playoff ticket availability

      By KojiSplit · Posted

      It’s not just the O’s. I’ve checked the Dodgers who have similar prices and they have a lot of upper deck NLDS games 2 & 3 available. Same for the NLCS. yanks still have seats available also. — In general, I’m sure alot of fans are just gonna wait till the day of to grab tickets.

      That makes no sense. If they had to win their current series would have looked much different.

      I agree. You have to wonder if the Yankees are behind him getting hit. Perhaps the ghost of George has struck
