True.  I look back on Cal's career and often wonder what people would have thought about him if the OH existed during his career. Can you imagine 1989?  "He's hit .258 for the past three years co

Adley just gave the most cliche riddled post game interview I have ever seen. Straight from the Crash Davis/Nuke LaLoosh book of how to talk to the media. Cliff Floyd asked him a question about the atmosphere of the stadium and he took the answer in a completely different direction about how the guys show up and work hard and play for each other. It was hilarious.

I wondered if anyone else saw that and laughed a little at all the cliche's, as I did.

So, it's time to start wondering what's going on with Adley's throws. Physical issue? Mechanical? Mental?

Couldn't watch the game today.  The one from the 9th yesterday looked like he changed his mind and tried to hold the throw at the last moment, but was to far along and still released it.

The other bad throws in the last few games?  I have no idea what's up there.

I just love the rapport Adley’s building with the pitchers.   Perez really digs the post-inning greetings.   And Adley and Lopez should practically go get a room!  You can tell Adley’s confidence is rubbing off on the pitchers.   Also, he’s very still behind the plate and his framing is getting better by the day.  

I do wonder if his triceps still bothers him.  His throws are pretty scattershot.

This bit from an interview with John Means a few days ago was interesting:

There’s a popular belief in the clubhouse and in some sections of the industry that the Orioles are turning the corner in their rebuild. With the talent they’ve accumulated at the major league level, including the promotion of top prospect Adley Rutschman, and the prospects who are on deck.

“We were playing well before Adley, but when Adley came up, it wasn’t just his talent that made a difference. It was, ‘Oh, now it’s time to win. He’s called up, this is the starting point. Here we go,’” Means said.

“I think it just subconsciously flipped for everybody, like, we’re doing it now.”

I know there has been talk about Adley’s throws, I would also note that base runners are 13/15 against him.  Love the dude but this is a bit of a concern. 

Just for reference too, during his time in the minors this season, runners were 11/14 against him.

Last season, they were 52/72 against him.

      Cowser’s  swing decisions are determined before the pitch is even thrown. And I’ve been saying this all year, and I even said this at the game. I go it’s too early to pinch it for him because his defense is too good but he is 100% going to strike out and that’s exactly what he did with bases loaded. He decides whether he is going to swing a pitch before even thrown This is why he swings at a thrown pretty close to his face . And To be fair,he  had a pretty good season doing that but obviously can be  easily exploited

      Cowser's progress was one of the more encouraging elements this season, especially on the defensive side. I was already crediting him with being Some Kind of Good major leaguer a post back. Between his and Adley's standout bad performances on the HBP and 2-0 count, I give Cowser more of a grace.     Sure he had predetermined intent to swing, but I think the follow through was some raw instinct as hand bones fractured. Adley not swinging was the lowlight how incapacitated he was.    I believe he commands the strike zone, but to feel so low you can't pull the trigger in that spot...sheesh.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By jabba72 · Posted

      I believe Elias plans to bring in two more SP's, the quality isnt what im sure about. But no question he'll want to replace Burnes. Which is why I didnt comment in this thread yet because Povich might not have a spot open at the beginning of the year.

      Elias: It's on me

      By bobmc · Posted

      So a “Pollyanna” then like me, @wildcard and others (joking of course) 😇 I’m in your camp but really wonder if Elias/Hyde and Co. can truly“flip the script” as @Just Regular alludes.

      So thats because the extra space in the OF allows for more balls to fall in? If so, I don't really see an issue if its providing offense in a different way.

      I'm neutral on it. I don't like how the old dimensions played like a wiffle ball field. Both teams have to play on it and the O's do have two good OF's so in that sense it helps us. RHH will probably hate it so very few would ever sign in Baltimore unless they thought the O's were in World Series contention. If they put it in the middle ground then the dimensions become like every other park and Im not sure I want that. At least Camden Yards plays different.

      I agree with this.  It was a completely idiotic take to criticize the fans.  And Russo on MLB Network did as well.  Did those guys watch this team at all this year? They were under .500 for the last 88 games of the season.....the worst team in the AL East.  These were the home series they played over the last three months: Chicago Cubs (swept and outscored 21-2), Yankees (lost 2 of 3 and needed two Yankee errors to walk off the last one), San Diego (lost 2 of 3), Toronto (won 3 of 4), Washington (split 1 of 2), Boston (split 2 of 4), Houston (split 2 of 4), White Sox (won 2 of 3 but lost last one 8-1), Tampa (lost 2 of 3), San Fran (lost 2 of 3), Detroit (lost 2 of 3). What is that, 15 - 20 in their last 35 home games?  And then they top it off by losing to the Royals 1 - 0 in the first game?  So fans are supposed to be excited and encouraged by that stretch of baseball?   You want people to show up to games, play like the Padres. Don't have your prized prospects go bust, don't have your stars fall off a cliff, and learn how to play fundamental baseball instead of obsessing about each swing's potential exit velocity.
