Here's a hilarious video of a Tigers fan relentlessly heckling the Orioles bullpen, esp. Taylor Teagarden: "Hey, Teagarden my blood alcohol content is higher than your batting average." It's a skill, though not one I'd like to learn:

A friend of mine went to spring training game back when George Brett was playing.   He’d had a famous case of hemorrhoids during the previous postseason.  My friend’s buddy was in the stands near 3B while Brett was taking grounders and yelled out “hey George, how’re the ‘ROIDS!!??”   Whereupon Brett stopped what he was doing, walked over to the guy, and said “They’re good.  Real good.   Thanks for asking.”   And sauntered back to 3B to take more grounders.

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

You've seen the classic George Brett spring training Vegas story, right? My wife doesn't follow baseball at all but even she was dying when I showed that to her.

Me and some buddies went to West Palm Beach to watch the Braves in a spring training game and this was about the time that Claudell Washington had been having some issues with cocaine. Well a ball was hit down the right field line and Claudell dove for it and his face landed right on the chalk line so he had some on his face. My one buddy was pretty drunk from all the beers we were buying and he said   "Damn Claudell you'll do anything for some powder won't you" and Claudell gave him the meanest look you could imagine. I thought he was going to come over and confront him after the inning but he didn't.

I thought cards weren't really a thing any more, ever since the card market crash of the early 90s made the '29 stock market look like nothing.  I gave up on cards when a buddy down the street had his dad buy dozens and dozens of full sets as an investment, making the rest of us buying packs to try get the whole thing kind of stupid.  Today those 50 1990 Fleer sets are worth, like, $100 total.  I had a Mattingly rookie card that I'm sure at one point was worth $30 according to some book, now it's what... 30 cents?

I was never a collector, but I did buy the individual packs back in the 80's.  But the big collectors started to buy up multiple sets of each year, and with no scarcity, everything lost value.  The same happened with comic books when everyone would hoard first issues of any new series.

Wow, I just saw the double play he turned and the diving stop and throw on Rosario. I don't know how we can justify playing him at 3B or 2B. It's just a couple games but he has passed the eye test on defense and with the bat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is up with Palmer just giggling every time Henderson does something amazing? It's the best!

Holy crap, it was an entire family of heckler losers! :D His first couple was funny but afterawhile, who does that, especially with their kid there? I just don't get it. A solid heckle here and there can be funny, standing there and continuing if lame if you ask me.

Damn, I'm guilty too. lol

Let's get back to Gunnar and stop derailing his thread please with baseball cards and heckler talk.

What if I sit behind home plate and yell out "Hey Gunnar, you need a haircut" after I get his autograph on my Gunnar Henderson rookie card before the game?

      Elias: It's on me

      By Pickles · Posted

      I was just asking for clarification.  So it seems you're asking for changes that aren't able to be implemented in the off-season and can't be evaluated well into next season. That's fine so long as you're ready to be disappointed this off-season.

      I don’t think the OH brother ship can be categorized as the “average fan”.    I think posters here are quite a bit beyond. I don’t think the average fan is regularly posting on a fan site

      The One Trophy Blues

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Drungo's One Trophy label for the setup of US sports playoffs was new lingo to me recently, and Adley and Gunnar have a long way to go to get near the Active WAR leaders, who also in brilliant careers have zero dogpiles.     Many of them this week we get to see killing themselves for one taste.     Rundown of the top notables, with career rWAR as the top tier of 2024 Clubs begin play today. 86, Mike Trout - his life is his to do with as he chooses, but as a baseball fan I'm rooting for him to go another path before it is too late. 62, Paul Goldschmidt - way past peak.    The 2025 Orioles may be one of few teams with very high playoff odds to want him for a starting role if a Zero Ryan path is charted.    Much more so than any current Oriole, he's been what we hope Coby Mayo might become. 57, Manny Machado - a yardstick of the Dodgers' greatness.    Players like him or Trea Turner or Corey Seager, Andrew Friedman's judgment sometimes is "Nah, not good enough". 56, Nolan Arenado - guaranteed 3/74 on the rest of his contract, perhaps waiting for a buy-side trade.     Declared lame duck GM scenarios are unusual. 52, Jose Ramirez - a player who has devoted himself to one small-market team, and that Club's unquestioned leader, something the Orioles don't have yet.      Some of Adley's teammates and ex-teammates might be salty about recent choices. 52, Aaron Judge - an amazing early 30's peak - problems for the Orioles if he endures like Nelson Cruz or Barry Bonds.    Career health track record has some dings. 51, Bryce Harper - a Manny Machado bookend in my baseball fandom.    They've grown from brash kids to serious professionals - both played much of 2024 less than 100% same as Adley. 49, Francisco Lindor - so close along with Jose Ramirez against the Bryant/Rizzo/Hyde Cubs.     The back strain poetic considering the carrying he's been doing as David Stearns gets ready for his first full off-season running Steve Cohen's club. 49, Andrew McCutchen - nearly the Jose Ramirez of the Pirates.   Nice to see him winding down respectably there.    I'll have generally good wishes for him if he pushes to get to be Paul Skenes teammate for a full season. 44, Giancarlo Stanton - he is upright today, the main thing Brian Cashman cares about.    rWAR has his last 3 seasons worth less than 1 WAR. 43, Shohei Ohtani - one of the greatest players ever has made some choices none of these other greats have to try and tilt the odds in his favor.    His MLB postseason debut is tonight.    Kind of a fun fact rWAR this moment has him at half Trout. It is possible none of these guys escape this list if the Royals or Tigers come through.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      Rogers 🤮   if we have that rotation I’m betting our win total takes another 5-10 game step backwards

      By Orioles West · Posted

      Fundemental change for me isn’t wholesale firings. I think we’re short on pitchers in the system, I think we’re not developing pitchers as well we could. However, drafting more arms early in the draft isn’t going to win us a playoff game next year, so free agency is the short term answer. I loved the Earl Weaver era and the three run homer, yet, our youthful foundation could think about a couple more bunts and being more aggressive on the base paths (without looking at the numbers, it felt like the O’s took a step back from 2023 on the bases) may be something to look at going forward.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      Maybe … but I think Rubinstein will be interested in Corbin returning. I don’t think they can get a better replacement for less in Free Agency and think finding another rental is unwise considering what they’ve already moved.

      By Orioles West · Posted

      If that’s humor, it needs work. If you’re actually asking for clarification: The next MLB draft is July 2025. I hope the O’s add more arms than they have previously via the amateur draft. RISP, for me, is more about small ball than a particular hitter. I don’t think that the all or nothing swings the O’s relied on against KC worked out very well. Free agency opens up soon enough, Elias could very well add a bat to help the offense in December.
