So aggressive……I’m just asking man. 
 

He’s the first pitcher listed. What do you think happened? Did the game get 1/2 an inning in? It’s possible. 

I don't know exactly what happened.  What I do know is that he pitched 3 innings on August 24th so there is nothing to be concerned about.  That's all.  No worries.

I'm trying to familiarize myself with who all these FCL players from Latin America are.   Here's a partial list of the higher-profile guys, going mostly off signing bonus. FCL Orioles Black

My assumption, and this is purely an assumption, is that there is some form of orientation they do for the players that takes a couple of weeks.   Things like learning about how the pitchers/hitters u

Thought I’d start a thread using the new name of the Florida Complex League (FCL).    Today, Black prevailed 6-2 to improve its record to 2-0, while Orange lost its second straight by the score of 8-6

Rangel is pitching today.  One scoreless inning so far.

The FCL orioles black team is playing two today.   In game two, Deson with a leadoff homer in 1st AB and double in AB #2.   Now batting .357, with 3 homers, .917 OPS, and 10 steals in 12 attempts.    There's a lot to dream on with this guy.   Just turned 19 in July.    The FCL O's black team has only 2 hits today.  He has them both.

So, the Orioles as of right now have the two leading hitters for average in the FCL with Deson at .370 and Moises Ramirez at .320.   Both are also in the top 10 in OPS.    Good times!

I’m curious what list you’re looking at.  The one on BB-ref (not updated for today) has 9 guys batting over .370 and 27 over .320.   https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/leader.cgi?type=bat&id=4f24003b.  Maybe the list you’re looking at has a higher threshold for plate appearances than this one.

Some guy just snuck in ahead of Ramirez for 2nd place with a .327 average.

Looks like they require 2.8 PA per game, which is about 98 - 118 PA depending on the team the player is on.  The BB-ref list goes down to 39 PA.

I like your list better!

Deson did not show up on the list until after the second game of the DH.   I was comparing his PA to Ramirez to figure out how close or far away from qualifying he was.

I wonder if they think Moises has the kind of ability that Mountcastle had at that age - though Mountcastle was certainly farther ahead - playing at Delmarva at 19.

      AL playoff picture

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Astros admit it is a knee sprain for Yordan and he is out the Mariners series, with hoped for return at the Guardians Friday. He will play the playoffs and I guess benefit from that infielders on the dirt rule, as otherwise defenses might have been able to put all of them well on to the grass like Pujols at the end. Mariners got the must opener with "just" Bryce Miller - now they have Logan Gilbert and George Kirby tonight and tomorrow afternoon against Yordan-free lineups to try and make the weekend interesting.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      I think a lot of fans frustration (well, at least mine) comes from a combination of this specific team and history.  This 2024 team has been extremely frustrating.  It is factually true that in the last 106 games they have only one walk-off win and only two wins when trailing after 6 innings. They have no series wins against an over .500 team since July 4th, and the worst record in the AL East since June 20. They cannot put together any long winning streaks, they have a real hard time generating a "big" inning, their all-star catcher has had an extremely disappointing second half, and their prized rookies have been far worse than anyone could have imagined.  So this has been without question a three-month plus malaise that feels like it just won't end.  Every time we want to feel enthusiastic or excited, we get shut down by a punch in the gut like Saturday and Sunday. The injuries have undoubtedly played a role, but I don't buy that they should have played this much of a role. Especially not on offense. The history part of it does not relate to the current team, but is a real pain point for fans like me who have been around for decades.  This organization last won an LCS game on October 13, 1997.  Almost 27 years since their last single game win in the LCS. Think about that and how much life has passed since that time.  Over those 27 years, 22 different fanbases have experienced their team in the World Series at least once.  If we go back to the last time the Orioles won the pennant, we can add another 4 fanbases to the list of World Series participants.  I think a 3 game sweep in last year's playoffs hurts us far more than it would Red Sox fans or Cardinals fans or Dodgers fans who are there regularly.  We have far fewer bites at the apple than most other fans, and every opportunity lost just resonates that much more.   No one should ever think the Orioles fans are spoiled, regardless of how much we may complain.  We are among the least spoiled fanbases not only in baseball, but in all of professional sports.

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      He's absolutely right, but of course, anything prior to the 2023 sweep means nothing to this current squad.  Last year we got a glimpse into this team with pressure. We all, including me, pointed towards their inexperience, but now we have a 2nd half of a season with mostly the same players wilting under pressure. Whether that pressure be because of the game situation, expectations, trying to do too much with other players out, or whatever, we have another data point of this current team struggling when it matters. Now, barring a complete a total collapse by the Orioles over the last two series of the year (not out of the question but the that the Royals and Twins are crashing too make it almost assured this team will back into the playoffs), this team is going to the playoffs. This will be the real test because gone are the excuses of injury with Westburg, Urias, Coulombe and Webb back and the team will most likely face another struggling wild card team. That should give some hope that this team will win at least a game, and maybe a series if things go right.  Crazier things have happened before in the playoffs, but only a miracle World Series appearance would be able to overcome this frustrating season and end the discussion over the lack of clutch of this core group of players.
