I hope he's Bench or Pudge and stays with us for his entire Hall of Fame career. I still don't think one year on this side of career matters, especially on this team. Maybe this year at Bowie/Norfolk helps. He's having some experience with failure with his slow start.

Pudge played for 6 teams

Haha, I was thinking the same thing and then reinterpreted the comment as meaning they want him to be the quality of Fisk and Pudge while playing for the Os for the entirety of his career like Cal did.

I'm excited by his recent surge but not THAT excited because the offensive wasteland that is Norfolk awaits to suck the life out of any good Bowie prospect.

:)  

I'm sure they take that into account. ?

I don’t know about this year, but Norfolk was far from an offensive wasteland in 2019 after AAA started using the major league ball.   

Stewart: .944 OPS

Sisco: .918

Mountcastle: .871

The whole team had a .769 OPS.

2-16 with 2 BBs since the big DHer last week.

Four hours ago in a  thread about when should they call up Adley you said,

“He’s hitting extremely well at the AA level now.  He was an advanced bat, one of the best college prospect seen in a decade.

He doesn’t need much time.  If he had a 750 OPS or something maybe you would have a point but he doesn’t. “


Maybe not hitting extreme well at the moment?

Luckily 4 games doesn’t a season make.

Overall, his strike zone judgment is super impressive and he’s shown power.   I’m still waiting to see a nice streak of multi-hit games.   Outside of last weekend’s doubleheader, he’s not had back to back games of more than one hit,and his longest hitting streak so far is four games.   Now the prodigious walk totals make up for that in large part, but I’d still like to see a true hot streak from him.

    • I may be misunderstanding, but if you are suggesting that you would recall Rogers for the playoffs, then I must respectfully and strongly disagree. Baker is odd man out here, or maybe Smith, but I would definitely keep Bowman
    • A litmus test is if you'd prefer Trevor Rogers back for last guy. Tell me if it sounds crazy, but a pitcher you can sign to a minor league deal in mid-August might not be competitive with the world's greatest hitters in late September. It is fun to curate a trick pitch that works for a minute.
    • Just read two interesting tidbits - Juan Soto has battered him something like 18/35 which seemed like a lot but I guess PHI and WSN saw each other a bunch in the NL East. Also that he passed 1000 career innings.   It caught me a little by surprise he has been around that long.    Fingers crossed Bradish and Grayson in their careers can get there.    Eflin is 3rd among pitchers at age 30 and down this season. Hopping to Active Leaders to see how few pitchers attain that in this Driveline/Arm Barn era, tonight he became the 57th active pitcher to get there.     He gives us the ~162 IP we hope for in 2025, it'd go up about 20 spots.
    • Westburg, Urias, Mountcastle… Good defense, even when there’s bad defense. Westburg missed a ball that went for a hit, but I didn’t feel any foreboding, no,”here we go again” because I felt sure that that one play wouldn’t ruin the game. And it didn’t. Good pitching, even when there’s bad pitching. Eflin had never in his whole career walked 5 guys, but I wasn’t worried, for some reason. Even when Bowman had his worst outing as an oriole, I wasn’t worried, no,”here we go again” because I felt sure we’d win. And we did. Good hitting, good base running, even when Santander REALLY wanted that triple… and didn’t get it.  The fundamental baseball smarts seem to have returned, so a mistake is just a mistake. I feel really good about this team now, even though they haven’t been perfect. I really feel they’ll cover for each other, and we will enter the playoffs strong. I feel most comfortable about facing the Yankees again; they just don’t seem like a strong team, and I’m not the least bit worried about facing them again.
    • That is strong language coming from you.  The only recent guy I really couldn’t stand was Jimenez, though I sure wasn’t keen on Kimbrel for most of the season either.
    • Did you really say tonight’s game didn’t mean much? 
    • To state the obvious, the magic number for home field in the WC series is now 1, with 4 games remaining.   Would love to v close that out tomorrow va. the Yankees and then relax all weekend.
