The Mark Teixeira Watch part III

Recommended Posts

He had some pretty good movement on that second shoe, almost a Gregg Olson sort of curve. Twelve-six sort of thing. Nice.

Needs work on his follow-through, though. He did not leave himself in very good position. Seemed to have almost fallen to the ground.

Work a look. Who's his agent?

Yeah, but as our insider(s) have said, the national media ignores us too.

PGA knows how badly this fanbase needs Teixeira. Unless he wants his attendance to be under 10K at every homegame (with the exception of when the Skanks and Sux come to town), he knows it's imperative that he signs Teixeira.

Theory on the Angelos sighting:

So Jimbo81 said he saw Angelos in a car with 2 men and 3 women on Russell st. prior to the Ravens game. And it was just assumed that he was headed to the game? He does have an office in the warehouse, he could have easily been heading home from a half day at the office or heading back from showing some prospective clients around or even heading home after meeting with Tex because it was time for Tex to go to the game. It would explain the guest part if Angelos gave Tex the tickets!!

Time to move on' date=' we are being played. If you havent figured it out by now. Adam Dunn anyone.[/quote']

I hope we aren't being played, but I'll take Adam Dunn along WITH Mark. Along with Markakis, that'd make the best 3-4-5 in baseball. If only our rotations 3-4-5 (and 2) were equally good...

Which leads me to this question....what is Plan B? :scratchchinhmm:

Olney said that he expects the Orioles to drop out this week and that the Nats are known to have a large offer out there for him, supposedly the largest one on the table.

Interesting. My gut feeling is that no one knows for sure what offers are on the table and how much said offers are - except for Teixeira and Boras.

You might want to close down this thread, my friend. The mods don't appreciate new threads being opened on the same topic, when they've already closed an old thread on the same subject.

It might be in your best interest to swing the idea by them first.

Good lookin' out Lex, but we only shut 'em down when the threads themselves spiral off-topic/out of control.

By all means, let's talk some Teixeira!

    • Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that. 
    • The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.
    • Looks maybe concussion related. 
    • How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.
    • I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made. 
    • Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
