Real big long swing too. Dunno man. Spooks me a bit.

Agree his swing seems to get long sometimes. But if you watch him in BP it looks better. Also, in his defense, he’s physically a far superior athlete to Matt. So here’s hoping. I just want to see him do well, but the let-down (even though he was still a good player) of Wieters has given me trust issues.

I'd imagine everyone looks good in BP, outside of Eddie Murray.

Ha. Remember when we picked up Everth Cabrera during spring training 2015? MASN leaked a BP video right after we got him and he was hitting popups and bouncers in the batting cage! Never seen anything like it. Went on to hit .208/.250/.229 and never played in the majors again at age 28.

Yeah the idea that "everyone" looks good in BP is kinda ludicrous. You can watch any team take BP at Camden Yards and immediately identify the players with plus power.  Adley and Yolmer Sanchez's BP rounds probably look drastically different.

You've obviously never seen me in a batting cage.  And that's when I make contact at all!

    • It’s called venting, montezuma’s revenge-o.
    • It did look like they already have their game legs back--maybe in time to make that dream come true. I live in Brooklyn and it's going to be a challenge to hold my place and my lip in the sports bars over the next three days (unless I go to one filled with Mets fans who are just letting one screen tune into the game in the Bronx).
    • Haha, yeah--Try to "Mooo!" that and see what happens.
    • Adley was 2022, not sure if Gunnar was 2022 or 2023, I think he was also 2022.
    • Oh, I thought you were taking about his hitting in high leverage situations. 
    • Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.
    • Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.
