One of my favorite players of the Buck Era, and his career stats are nearly identical to C Davis. I'll never forget the game where his homerun reached the club level in LF.   https://www.mlb

This man racked up 60 home runs in two seasons with the O's from 2011-2012...  Epic!

(He also went 3 for 25 with no extra base hits and 10 K's in our 2012 playoff run, but that's water under the bridge)

So did everyone else that post season if I remember it correctly...

I always knew he was "complacent" :P

Seriously though, I've always loved the guy since I got him as a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup during his incredible rookie season. I was thrilled when we traded for him. Best of luck to Mark in his future endeavors. $30 million buys a lot of sunflower seed packets

Reynolds, Zimmerman, and Doolittle all played in the same IF at UVA.

He also played with the Upton brothers and David Wright in AAU.

Now somebody post the sunflower gif.

Despite that I usually thought he was a decent guy.

Reggie just breathed a little sigh of relief, his record is safe for a little while longer.  It continues to amaze me it's lasted this long.  Strikeouts have gone up 57% since 1990, but the career strikeout record holder retired in 1987. 

Justin Upton is the next great hope.  He's 31, and needs 800 strikeouts.  He averages 172 per 162 games, so he'll need another 5+ years to get there.  The odds are against him, especially after a 2019 where he only struck out 78 times in 63 games, and now COVID.

Reynolds does still hold the single season mark at 223.

Remember when the Orioles never had a high K player?  In 1989 the single season mark was 189 by Bobby Bonds.  The's O's record was 125 by Boog in '66.  Then Tettleton had 160 in 1990, and the O's promptly traded him for a bag of magic beans and a stick of gum.  Tettleton is now 11th on the franchise list, Boog 25th.

Mark Belanger once struck out 114 times in a season with 13 doubles and two homers, where he slugged .248.

      O’s look done

      By Brooks The Great · Posted

      Plenty of teams limp into the playoffs and then make a deep run. This team has enough talent to do it, I just want to see Mayo and Kjerstad finally given a shot to play every day (put Kjerstad in RF, Santander at 1B, Mayo the full time DH), and move away from struggling/low ceiling vets like O'Hearn, Eloy, Rivera, and Slater.  Mayo and Kjerstad playing regularly and Westburg making it back for the playoffs could transform the lineup. I think Hyde is a terrible manager who can't write out a good lineup to save his life, but this offense has been so bad for so long that I think even he's capable of making those changes.  If Webb, Coloumbe, and Grayson can all make it back healthy, they'll also make a difference.

      How am I scapegoating him? He hasn't played well for a very long time. I'm just saying give Mayo a legit shot.

      O’s look done

      By Pat Kelly · Posted

      Am looking forward to the season being over.  Yankees are taking full advantage of the O’s ineptitude - as they should.   Team is so inept offensively and does not seem fixable.  Bad combo of too many players still trying to figure things out. Have no idea what to expect over the next 2 weeks,  but currently they are unwatchable and an overall joyless bunch.   Need new dugout leadership that can help this team unlock its potential,  Hyde is no longer the answer and I think he knows it.

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      By Roy Firestone · Posted

      Mayo actually had a decent at bat in a game where there were so many poor at bats. He fouled off a lot of good pitches , worked a count to 3-2 and was called out on a borderline strike. Yeah, you can say he's lost,, but I think he's finding his confidence up there. He had three pretty good at bats the last time he started and made a very tough play at third base that was almost an out, missed the runner by a whisker. I think the kid deserves to play and even if he fails, he cant be much worse that what we are putting out there. Eloy Jimenez and Emmanuel Rivera are NOT in our future plans and not doing much either...you may as well let the kid play and maybe he'll run into a pitch and drill it somewhere.I think the more at bats you give him, the likelier good things will happen. It sure isnt helping us to see him on the bench with Nick Maton.

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I expect Kjerstadt to be recalled tomorrow which will help with the depth even if it just to pinch hit.  Tonight we sent Slater up to pinch hit for O’Hearn then they countered with a pitching change but we didn’t have another left handed pinch hitter to counter them.  Hyde did a great job using his depth and pinch hitting early in the year but he had actual hitters on the bench.  He could pinch hit Urias, Kjerstadt, Hayes, O’Hearn, Stowers, Norby in certain situations.  Now his choices are Soto, Maton, McCann, Mayo, Jimenez  or Slater.  Injuries and trades have not only hurt the starting lineup but the depth of the bench.   I am pretty sure if you told Elias that he would lose Westburg, Mountcastle, Mateo, Kjerstadt, and Urias along with Holliday and Mayo completely falling flat he holds on to Hayes, Norby and Stowers.  How bad is our injury luck been this year?  If Westburg gets hit and breaks his hand two days earlier I believe Norby is still on the team but he broke it two days after the deadline.
