The swing reminded me more of Bryce Harper. 

I can see that, actually. I only joked about Zunino because there actually are several parallels. Great defensive catcher, high draft pick, former top prospect, huge power, lots of swing and miss. 

Seems Zunino might be the floor.

445 feet. 

Insignificant observation:

I noticed Rutschman touched the bases with his left foot as he rounded them for the home run (even made a stutter step at second base to make sure he touched with his left foot at second base).  I don't know that I've ever seen someone do this.  Admittedly, I don't pay that much attention to how people touch the bases as they round them in their home run trots, the stutter step just caught my eye.  I always used my right foot - I think there was a lower chance of tripping over the bag by doing so.  I would guess most people touch them with their right foot.  Just a meaningless observation that has no bearing on anything whatsoever.

Bobby Witt, Jr. is playing great right now - just saying.

He's got an OPS under .700 in Double A.  Aggressive placement.  Probably should have started in A ball.  The O's would have him in Delmarva if they had drafted him....no doubt.

Well, he did say he is playing great right now..and he is.  He has been hot the last week or so.  OPS up almost 200 points.

I guess, but parsing things in five game increments is a little silly. Especially when those five games were against the Springfield Cardinals, who are the Fredericksburg Nationals of the AA-Central League. Springfield's team ERA is 6.75, two and a third runs worse than every other team in the league.

21 strikeouts, 7 walks and 4 extra base hits in 76 plate appearances. Of the 6 players in the league with a baseball age under 22, he has the lowest OBP, the worst K/BB ratio and the second lowest OPS.

Sure but we are talking about a very small sample size either way.

We are also talking about a kid who is young for his league too.

    • 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.
