My first post ever - what fun it is to follow the minor league box scores this year

Welcome to the OH!!:clap3: He has 7 RBI's tonight. I just hope he stays for the playoffs,:rolleyes: Bowie has a good shot of winning the EL, but deep down I hope he gets his call up.

Scott Campbell is not in the lineup for New Hampshire tonight and his average was leading the league at .330. But, now with Lou Montanez at .331, 25 HRS and 93 RBI, he has the triple crown lead.

I wonder if Roch will make Lou the topic of his first post at MASN tomorrow. The Altoona radio announcer said that Lou is headed for the league MVP honor. :clap3::clap3::clap3:

Sweet Lou, he's the sweetest, nicest guys you every meet and he happens to my wife's favorite Baysox player:mad:(just kidding) and while I'm typing he just got his 5th hit and his 8th RBI, a careet day I'm sure!!! My selfish being hopes he stays at Bowie and help the Baysoxs win a championship, but my heart says that I hope he gets his shot because he deserves it!!!!

He certainly deserves a call up, but I think the long term rebuild is better served with Lou, along with Reimold, Wieters, Tillman, Hernandez, Berken and Bergensen staying with the Baysox, going to the playoffs and hopefully winning a championship together.

Plus, none of them are currently on the 40 man roster and I believe we would need to make a spot for anyone we called up. I know there are several options that have been mentioned as potential 40 man casualties (e.g., Freddy Deza) that will probably not derail the rebuilding effort, but I am speculating that this is one of the reasons that none of them has been called up to the show this year.

As I finished this post, Lou had a 6th at bat and flew out to RF - 5 for 6 still gives him the batting average lead. Baysox win 19-3.

I agree, I the think the Orioles Mgmt wants them to win a championship together and hopefully many to come as they make to the Big Show!!!

OK, someone tell me what is wrong with Wieters!! Montanez, Reimold, and Nettles combine to be 8-13 with 4 HR and 13 RBI and all Wieters can do is scrounge up a measly SF? Cut him now!! ;):D

And yes this is very sarcastic!! He is only hitting .352 at Bowie at age 22 for crying out loud. Somehow I think he is actually exceeding expectations. Can't wait to see him up with the Big Club but I understand if AM wants to wait until next year. I am just very happy for the kid. Not everyone can stand up to the expectations of being a first round pick and essentially be a future cornerstone of a franchise. He seems to be responding quite well.

Lou is now 5 for 5 with 8 RBI, as he singled in a run in the 8th.

NBC, CNN and FOX have now projected him as Tonight's Orioles Hangout Player of the Night.

If he doesn't make the Orioles Hangout minor league Player of the night I'll fire the managing editor. :D

Seriously though, he's having a hell of a year and is truly making scouts take another look at him.

Like I said a few months back, I just couldn't find the holes in his game and I liked him.

If the Orioles don't put him on the 40-man this offseason he'll certainly be on somebody elses this winter.

      So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?

      John Means 2024

      By Safelykept · Posted

      There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!

      What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.
