Well there you go, Kerjstad stinks I guess lol. You guys would argue if the sky was blue. 

Frobby is a well known antagonist around here.  Always starting trouble. Just ignore him.

Seems like he’s to advanced for the level, good bat to ball skills, and bat speed. But maybe not completely barreling the ball yet due to rust

Ha.  I agree that he's still a little rusty.  Not so sure he isn't barrelling a lot.  Maybe not lofting the ball to the pull side.   Hard to call a .460 hitter rusty!   LOL

Unbelievable. They can’t dare criticize anything. He should have moved up last week (if what Frobby says is true). Only other thing I can think of is he knows someone in the area? I dunno. Bonkers. They promoted Cowser & Norby for much less.

Ha.  Not so much.   Now, Bencosme is hitting about .370 without much in the way of extra base hits.   That's very impessive but it's a little empty.   But considering he's 19, I'm pretty excited about an empty .370.

If Bencosme turns into a good defensive 2b, hitting .300 and scoring 100 runs for the Orioles, I'll take it. All these other new numbers they use now sound good but until they change how they come up with a winner and loser, runs count. Right now the Orioles have a hard time scoring runs on most starters, have a hard time putting hits together.

I'm predicting the All Star break.  Does the minor leagues have an All Star break at the same time as the majors?

Futures game is Sat. No AS game this year, just a break of 4 days between July 17th-20th. What worries me is they promote him to Aberdeen and then rush him to Bowie. I believe he should not be rushed but the current domination is not helping him.

    • You cannot bring up McDermott (25 years old) and discuss his one great quality and act like you have no idea why he hasn't been recalled.  One look at his numbers shows you plenty. He has thrown 70.1 IP, making 14 starts. That's 5 IP/start.  3.84 ERA, 1.464 WHIP, 5.5 BB/9, 12.9 K/9.  He has issues walking too many batters.  So, while he strikes out batters at a great rate, he also walks far too many, raising his AAA WHIP to 1.464.  That does not project well to the majors.
    • No one’s ever accused me of choking and bludgeoning them unconscious before. At the very best he makes extremely poor decisions about whom to associate with. That’s at the very best. 
    • When a team loses 4 in a row the GM looks for where to improve. Hays.   .500.  2-4  2B Adley    .462  6-13.  2B Mullins   .417   5-12 2B, 3B Westburg .313  5-16.  3HR Gunnar  .272   3-11  2 HR Santander  .235  4-17 HR O'Hearn      .230   3-13 Mountcastle  .188    3-16 2B Mateo       . 125   1-8    HR McCann    .000   0-3 Cowser.   .000.   0-11 Urias         .000     0-13   Holliday would be the answer but he is on the IL.   Mayo?  More Hays, Less Cowser.   Mullins gets his everyday job back in CF.  Kjerstad would seem to take DH at bats from O'Hearn and Santander.  Santander is hitting .106 as a DH.  Mountcastle may need rest but that will hurt the defense.        
    • Nightengale does not expect Luzardo to be traded because he went on the IL with a back problem.
    • .271/.758 in June after .136/.344 in May. Great to see him hitting again. I agree about the defense but he really can't afford too many months like May. He is up to 0.7 WAR which is impressive for as bad as he has been with the bat.
    • Consent ends when the ability to give consent ends.  For instance if someone is choked unconscious.
    • Mid-80's Don Aase rates a shoutout.    Modern tools I can in a few clicks find for 1985-86 fWAR gives him 7th MLB-wide as RP. It was as the Orioles were halfway from Cal celebrating with Eddie how it is great to be a young and a Baltimore Oriole and 0-21, but as a kid I remember him seeming a notch better than Tippy or Sammy or Stoddard. I learned today he collected the one win the Angels got in the 1979 ALCS.
