A little sign of life with a nice defensive stand. Lets get 6 on this drive.

You're still watching? I've found that there are games on other channels with real teams playing...you should try those. They have players who tackle and look like they actually care.;)

Can they actually find some other way to use Portis than bringing him in at QB? It's obviously a run when that happens. If he can't learn the offense or read defenses, the kid into a receiver or a defensive back or something.

If this is Franklin's vaunted "West Coast offense", send it back to K-state please. Bring in the spread.

You mean they put Portis in and called a run? I can't believe it didn't catch the other team by surprise!:rolleyes:

Someone needs to seriously call Friedgen out on that. If you aren't going to even use Portis as a dual threat, just don't even bother. I'd rather see direct snaps to Scott or Megget.

I wonder if there is some blame to go directly to Turner for his poor performances in seemingly easy games. He's played outstanding his entire career against the best teams, but has really struggled against mediocre teams. He's also got a reputation for not being a good practice player. Maybe he just completely lacks focus when we're not playing a top opponent.

He isn't the one who can't tackle. Or the one who doesn't cover...or the one who calls shovel passes to fat, slow guys on 3rd and long...or the one who runs straight up the middle with no blocking on 1st and 2nd down.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
