I agree with Palmer, as usual. I'd rather we extend Mancini and start building a  core for the next 5-plus years

 

I don't think the guy with the checkbook looks at it that way.

Does the humidor have no effect when the weather is already humid?  When there's low humidity, it would make the ball heavier and I presume decrease distance on how far the ball travels. 

What about high humidity?

 

I'll run some tests and get back to you

Hays has developed into one of the best outfielders in baseball.  We had a lot of people on this board that doubted him for years.

My only worry about him early on was staying healthy. But damn is he fun to watch

That’s a blast.  If that’s flipped it probably hits the warehouse.

Its really nice to see him be healthy for an extended period.  I believe he was the first player in his draft class to reach the show.

Worthwhile question. 
 

The country was also colder than normal in April.

Yeah, and that wasn't in the front row either.   A solid 10+ rows up.

Batting practice the day of the All Star Game, I watched Juan Gonzalez put a whole bunch of balls up there, and even off the facing of the 3rd deck.

But I suspect that they was hitting superballs that day.

I was at the Workout day. At the Derby he hit the 3rd deck. I remember during regular batting practice where all the players took part Frank Thomas hit the second deck.

Adley time.

A hit for Adley, I'll take it!

If he goes 6 for his next 10, with a couple of HR, he's head to the Hall!

Rutschman with a base hit.  He was 7 for 54 prior to that at-bat, so he is now 8 for 55 as a major league hitter.

Quite a number of years ago, the Orioles had a young player who also started his career by going 7 for 54.  You could look it up.

Name was Brooks Robinson.  He didn't turn out too badly.
