I got a chance to see Henderson play in person for the first time today.  I’ve watched dozens of his games on TV but hadn’t had a chance to see him play live.   My observations are the following:

I learned a ton watching him today.  The kid is fearless and carries himself like a big leaguer.   You can see all the tools are there.   Honestly, I was even impressed by him spoiling an 0-2 pitch an

Gunnar watch...Hes up next.

He's playing 3B tonight But ihave no idea if the rotation is still in play. We should maybe get a clearer picture of that in Norfolk but then  mayb the O's are fine playing Gunnar at two different positions in the pros. 

Elias was asked about this on the MLB broadcast last night. He said they view both Gunnar and Jordan as SS and they'll both continue to play there. However as they don't know about the MLB roster makeup when they arrive, they want them to have positional flexibility...and that MLB is constantly shifting now anyways, so positions matter less.

That said, he views Gunnar as a left side of the field player SS/3B, while Jordan they see as more 2b/SS/3B

That ought to help his splits against LHP.  Didn't look like he was looking for a walk either.  Haha

Is that some kind of snide comment towards what I said he was doing in Bowie. Please remember, just because a guy hits a home run does not change what he WAS doing at a previous level. I realize it usually only takes one good game or even one at bat to make you break out your orange and black pom poms, but try not makeking dumb comments towards stuff I've said before because you just make yourself look foolish.

How about you just enjoy the kid's run instead of trying to make snide remarks that have no bearing on what happened.

Where's your sense of humor, Tony?  He had like a .198 OPS against LHP's this year and you did say it looked like he was not looking to do damage against them.  It's only 1 AB, but he certainly did some damage on that pitch.

Really tough opening night for Gunnar. Interested to see how he does against Small who is both very very good, and left handed

(and much older then Gunnar)

That interested me as well.  Small is a terrific prospect who has dominated everywhere in the minors and was a former #1 pick of the Brewers.

      Good, he should cry. His performance the last 3 months including playoffs isnt something that gets forgotten easily. Atleast not for me

      Adley's health this season

      By Witchy_Chick · Posted

      I wonder if Adley's issues are something health related but not necessarily an injury per se.  IIRC we all found out in the offseason that Ced was suffering from Crohn's in.......2020?  2021? 🤔  After Ced was pretty dreadful offensively all that season (whichever year it was). I mean something like that could potentially be at play with Adley.  Health issue but not an "injury."  Maybe something that was medically revealed after the HBP? IDK, spitballing here.

      Not trying to be naive or contradictory, but are we sure that he's swinging at bad pitches?

      I tend to agree, I'm not convinced. Cowser had hand/nerve stuff and continued to play his game. Westburg broke his hand, came back, and looked good. Not sure why getting hit on the hand suddenly made Adley swing at trash out of the zone.

      I hate that Adley getting hit on the hand is the excuse why he kept playing and his season went down the crapper, yet Italian Breakfast gets hit on the hand, breaks his thumb and works his ass off to get back to his team in time for the playoffs.    I’m a 50% believer that Adley getting hit on the hand is the reason that he was so bad towards the end of the season, but it still doesn’t explain the drop in OBP. He’s getting down to Adam Jones levels of on base percentage.  His approach seems to be totally different than when he first came up. A hurt hand doesn’t have anything to do with that.

      I watched both the Elias and Hyde press conferences in full and they both get weird around the Adley question. You can feel the hesitation on saying it's not an injury, and the way they kind of squirm around the question. If we can point to the HBP then surely they can do and would have done MRIs if Adley still felt iffy after the x-ray. Unless he's truly hiding it. But it sure feels like all parties know about something and for some reason that makes no sense to me, they aren't divulging it.

      They might not even know. Initial x-rays were negative, it's possible that Adley thought he could just play through it and maybe it wasn't painful, just fatigued? Who knows. But unless Adley tells them (assuming they're not hiding it), nothing they can really do. Wonder if Adley just felt the All Star Break was coming up, so he'd just deal.  I think it's way too obvious of a data point to ignore, personally.
