Hi all -- hope you enjoyed the first two days of draft. By my count Orioles could have up to $2.3MM available and certainly at least $1.7MM.  Some of the higher-profile names have pulled their names f

Marcelo Mayer has a punchable face.  He will fit in with Boston.

Peter isn’t involved right now and look no further than our involvement in the J2 market as evidence of that.   As for the Orioles being no closer to contention……..lol.  I have a whole lot more c

I wouldn’t hate taking Jud Fabian.  Apparently he’s good enough defensively to stick in CF and has above average speed.  Could be a poor man’s Mike Cameron. 

Could also be a poor man’s Keon Braxton. 
 

79 Ks in 269 PAs in college is very concerning.

Rich man's Felix Pie.

(slightly joking, he runs better routes than Pie did in the outfield and has more power with the same amount of holes in the swing)

Have you seen his delivery? Very unusual. Not sure how he does that consistently. He looks like he’s falling down 

Like MadBum's.  He's supposedly got his velo up to 96, and his wipeout slider might be his best pitch.

Hoping we go over-slot for Anthony Solometo, the big HS lefty from NJ.   

Agreed.  He's got some big legs to go with his frame so he's not some skinny rail out there.  The mocks, which we've seen are no way reliable, had the Rays all over Solometo.  Since the Rays took Carson Williams, my hope for the O's second pick, I'd love to see the O's snag Solometo.

I am bias, but I watch a lot of East Carolina baseball, and I would love to see us draft Connor Norby at 41 today.  If the O's are looking for another big time college bat which seems to be what they have been focusing on, I think this guy fits the mold and he isn't another OF which is nice.

Nice call. He's our guy.

      How "fired up" are you with this Yankee series?

      By Spy Fox · Posted

      It's a foregone conclusion that they will blow a 4 game lead in the span of 6 games?

      100%! I say abolish divisions, play a fully balanced schedule and take the top 4 or 6 or 8 or whatever teams in each league to the playoffs.

      The question was asked, a few months ago, whether winning the division was necessary. A lively debate resulted, some saying the division didn’t matter(“just make the playoffs and anything can happen”) and some taking the opposite view. I wanted the Division and I’m disgusted the play has been so bad. And I haaaate the Yankees( sports hate. I’m sure they are all great guys in person.) It will not magically improve, and I despair of winning more than two more games…not even 90 wins. And in a Homer–prone park, how many homers will the Os give up? The thought is not comforting. And there’s little reason to think things will improve against the Tigers or Royals. But at least: 1) next year they will hopefully have Bautista and the position players healthy. 2) The farm has very few MLB-ready players so there won’t be so much bouncing back and forth. Hopefully the guys can settle in and just play. 3) the Os will be looking for a fourth consecutive winning season, which hasn’t happened since the 70s So there’s that…

      I need to be a better fan

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      I was about to post a similar thread, but despite my memory issues, I recalled this thread.  I still find myself enjoying sports less and less.  The issue is not my teams, but myself.  It's a sad reality that I'm bothered when my team doesn't win, or does win, but wins in a way that is not how I wanted them to!  LOL!  It's ridiculous.  Frankly, I'm somewhat ashamed. The O's are very likely going to the playoffs.  But instead of being happy about that, I'm more concerned with how awful we've been and how little I expect from them as the post-season draws near.  A real fan loves his team and sticks with them, through thick and thin.  It's absolutely okay to be critical, even frustrated, at times, but when those are the default and dominant expressions, it makes me feel... less than.  It's like this with all my favorite teams (O's/Ravens/Terps).  It's therapeutic, in a way, to reveal such truths.  But the quest to find a way to enjoy sports again, to enjoy what my teams are doing, is a process that is taking longer than I'd hoped.

      I wouldn’t say I’m fired up.  I’d like to do enough to (1) win the season series (which only takes one win), (2) clinch a playoff spot (which probably only takes one win, depending what other teams do, and (3) improves our chances of getting the no. 4 seed (which might take a couple of wins, depending how other teams do).

      It feels like a foregone conclusion that the O’s sneak in with the third wild card spot and then lose the wild card series. So it just doesn’t really matter all that much what happens from here on out.    Then again, get hot at the right time and this could still be a World Series contender. I have to see some fire in this team before I entertain that thought though.

      I am not really fired up per se.  I am just hoping that something happens that is different than what we have seen for months.  A late comeback to win the game.  A big inning of 4 runs or more.  Some big hits from Adley or Holliday.   1 win means we win the season series against everyone in the East for the second year in a row.  That would be great.  And even if we lose, I am hoping that watching the Yankees celebrate in front of them and the fans celebrate around them fires them up.
