30 seconds around the bases, including 10+ seconds getting to 1B.   Sorry but to me that’s Bush League.

It was a walk-off home run.  Nothing wrong with taking your time on those.  Doesn't affect the pitcher as he is already halfway to the dugout by the time he reached first.

He could have taken his shower by the time Diaz reached first.    

Sorry, I’m old school about this.   It’s not like that hit was a high arcing homer where there were questions about whether it would stay fair   It was a laser shot.    No need to stand their and show up your AA opposition.

The players don’t care.  They just care that they lost.  This generation doesn’t take it so personally. It’s a game.

He wanted to give the rest of the team a chance to get out of the dugout and gather around home plate so he could have a real celebration.  Bowie doesn't win that many games they want to savor the ones they do win.

Bowie is having a weird season.    They started out 8-24.    Since then they've gone 11-4, then 1-8, and now 6-1.    Overall they are 26-37, but 18-13 over the last month or so.   Who knows how they'll end up?

Hopefully Diaz keeps it going and finds himself promoted to AAA in the next 6 weeks. I would like to see him get some MLB at-bats in September as he needs to be added to the 40-man roster in the off season anyway.

 

If they decide it is worth playing service time games in April then so be it, but I would like to see him up in September if he is successful over the final 11 weeks of the  minor league season.

    • Mayo coming back from injury could have his debut in Baltimore delayed. 
    • Wasn't a huge fan of his swing for that last out today but coming in to pinch hit with 2 outs isn't easy.
    • Interpreting Malike's comment that way is theoretically possible, but I didn't take it that way--didn't feel that shade was being thrown on me at all. But thanks for the concern.
    • People are being a bit ridiculous with the holier than thou takes criticizing a little humor. I am not saying what happened couldn’t cause a significant concussion, but it would be a bit of a fluke if it did. Mullins barely hit him with the bat and he had a helmet on. The fact that it was in the back of the head did make him more vulnerable, but this wasn’t the type of thing you see and think he was lucky to be alive.  Guys have probably hit their heads harder on the top of the dugout or on the fence making catches.  And note this comes from someone whose son has suffered severe concussions and who is well aware of the dangers associated with them. In short, people need to lighten up a bit on guys like Roy.  It was a little gallows humor. 
    • Yeah, you read that wrong. LA2 is one of my favorite posters here and he knows it. No harm, no foul. If you aren't familiar with the game threads, it doesn't matter what the team is doing, people complain about it and people did make that same joke in the game thread long before Roy said it here. Game thread in summary - when the O's are not doing well, it's insufferable, when they are doing well, it's mildly less insufferable. There, that wasn't hard. I'd appreciate it if you didn't assume I'm throwing shade at people. I'll leave that up to you to do, you're really good at it.
    • Comp a. Like Gunnar, and beavers…
    • Wasn't Westburg a 2nd round draft pick?  It's a little early to judge last year's draft.
