Adley hit his first Shorebirds home run tonight. 

More important than perhaps the HR, one can barely see my son and I.  Look at the last Shorebird in the dugout wearing the full grey hoodie.  That's my bald head and black shirt and my son in his orange Os gear right next to me blocking a fuller view of that Shorebird.

Will Adley ever get a hit with Delmarva?

Rutschman appears to be a slow starter who needs time to get used to his surroundings. The guy's gotten off to very rough starts at the GCL, Aberdeen, and now Delmarva. He also put up pretty poor numbers during his freshman year at Oregon State as well. Sort of makes me think that he won't rise through the system as quickly as everybody thinks he will.

Or possibly he was recovering from mono.   And it's been a week at Delmarva.

I will say his line is kind of intriguing to me right now.   27 PA there with 3 hits, 4 BB, and 4 K's.   That means there are a lot of balls going into play,  but idk how we can tell at this point how unlucky he has been.   You would think 19 balls in play would result in more than 3 hits in most cases.

And, it could be a bit of fatigue...4 teams (including college), mono, 100 different teammates, coaches in a two month stretch. Seeing different pitchers at every stop. You get to a comfort level and NEXT. I'll be more interested when he gets a longer stay at any level next year.

I've seen nothing yet to dissuade me from May 1, 2021 give or take a few weeks.  His chance for Opening Day 2021 depends on if he can "figure out what he needs to work on" like Eloy Jimenez and Brandon Lowe did in spring training this year.  I'm hopeful we won't Super Two goof around that year (if those rules even still prevail then) because I do put some value on him getting 500 PA's not 250 PA's then as we prepare for a relevant 2022.

If our competitive window was nearly open like the White Sox (and he didn't fall sick), he'd be getting the Andrew Vaughn timeline.

I'm guessing he starts next season at Frederick. I am surprised to see he hasn't been able to hit South Atlantic League pitching so far. 3-30 is not a good look for a guy that was considered a premium, close to MLB ready hitter.

It means nothing, it’s 9 games, remember when people were saying this stuff in Aberdeen. 

It can be a tough concept, but performance doesn’t equal results, especially in small samples.

Being a catcher, each time he joins a new team there is an immediate need to learn the pitching staff. He needs to catch some sides to get a feel for things. He is likely going to miss out on some BP, or at least his side work, in favor of working with his pitchers. 

First pro summer, had a 6-8 week lay off, had a hectic schedule of travel on the awards circuit, media circus everywhere he goes, had mono, changed teams (and moved/packed/unpacked) three times in about 6 weeks, had to learn new pitchers and such...I think I will give the man a break if he hasn’t crushed right away at Delmarva. Just watch him play, seriously. This guy is really special in many ways.

He wont be the MVP of International League at 22.  That is for sure.

      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
