Someone in Parker Bridwell’s family accused me of being 40 years old and sleeping in my mother’s basement.  

Looks like a relative of last year’s 4th rounder Joey Ortiz is posting here now.
 

 

I met David Hernandez's father at a pre-Hangout Night get together at Pickles Pub once.   So I don't know if he posted here but he knew the Hangout and met some of us.

Yes, he did post here, under “oriole from cal.”   Class act.

Well well! Caleb Joseph got called up by the Blue Jays yesterday and hit a home run against the Bosox today!

I tried to post the highlight here but I couldn’t figure out how to get the link up, but you should go listen to it, the Bluejay announcers were completely flabbergasted, but I am very happy. I own a Caleb Joseph jersey, and a Caleb Joseph signed baseball, so I am happy, even though he did it as a Bluejay.

Thank goodness he got that RBI out of the way quickly. 

Here is a link to the HR, but not sure if it is Jays or Sox announcers:

Thank you very much, that’s the Blue Jays guys,And at the beginning of the AB they were talking about how much he contributed in preparation for the bullpen guys and basically saying that was his main contribution, and they were shocked when he hit it out.

Go Caleb!

They did sound awfully surprised.   I am glad Caleb is still hanging on.

This actually was the lead in the AP story and most other stories  about the Cards game yesterday.  Here’s one from MLB.com.   https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mlb.com/amp/news/matt-wieters-19-pitch-at-bat.html

The record is 21 pitches seen, by Brandon Belt.    Wieters’ was the most ever with the bases loaded.

See all those 88 MPH over the middle of the plate?  That is what happens when the pitcher doesn't fear you.

Uh oh, Manny hitting .200 with a .719 OPS,  .620 OPS in last 7 games, wonder where he ranks in WAR for MLB 3B, he's running away with the $$$/WAR title.

Manny the top 3rd baseman by baseball reference WAR, 5th overall among position players.

Former Orioles farmhand Wynston Sawyer has his contract selected by the Yankees after they put Paxton on the IL.

He was then sent back down to the alternate site. Still...40 man roster status!

[jabba72]

He's got a 1.000 ops and leads the NL in HR's this year. I'd say he's finally reached his ceiling after a disappointing first year in San Diego.

Did the Padres get what they paid for? I say probably not.

 

Are some grapes sour?

I say probably.

 

He's an MVP candidate on a playoff team.

 

Also why is this in Orioles' Talk?
