He doesn't swing at bad pitches. He doesn't even swing at borderline pitches unless he's got 2 strikes. 

He's got elite strike zone discipline. He's got elite bat speed. He's got it all. He definitely looks like a legit #1 prospect. His profile over the course of a season is going to be impressive.

Just missed a HR last night. Smashed a foul ball down the line the stadium had as 108 exit velo. His lefty uppercut swing is thing of beauty.

Just missed?  That ball was 100 feet foul.

Adley is a guy that can put up a bunch of 1 for 3 and 1 for 4 nights with some walks sprinkled in and people will ask when is he going to heat up and he'll have a .400+ OBP for the last month.  I really think this guy could put up a .270/.400/.500 line next year and be in the conversation for MVP.

I could have sworn that Kevin Brown said last night that Adley had tied the Orioles’ rookie record for consecutive games of reaching base twice, but looking at the list, I don’t see any rookies with 9 such games.   So, Adley holds that record so far as I’m concerned.   Granted, it’s one of the most obscure records ever conceived.   Now let’s see how far he can take it.   

As to the question of whether Adley is “white hot,” in the nine games he’s hit .423/.556/.692, for a 1.248 OPS.   Looking at the 14 others who had a 9 game streak of reaching base twice, 9 had a higher BA during their streak, 7 had a higher OBP, 9 had a higher SLG, 8 had a higher OPS.  Certainly not an outlier on the low end (that would be Ken Singleton at .364/.523/.515 or Boig Powell at .346/.595/.462). So, since only 39 Orioles have ever had a streak that long in the franchise’s 69 years in Baltimore, I’m going to go ahead and call that white hot.  I do agree in general that it doesn’t really feel  like he’s white hot, though.   
 

He definitely said tied.  And he said with Boog Powell.  I don't know if that's true but that's what he said.

I think he’s bound to finish Top 5 in MVP voting before his team control is up anyway. All the more reason not to delay the good ones. 

It’s only this year that matters for the MVP voting affecting service time, I believe.

Is it? I’m trying to imagine a scenario where someone doesn’t finish top 3 in ROY but finishes top 5 in MVP or Cy Young. 

I’m pretty sure.  Otherwise, you could call a guy up in August and he’d still get a full year of service time if he finished top 5 in the MVP voting 3 years later.   That’s not happening.

Did they ever settle on what type of draft pick compensation a team gets?

It looks like Powell had his streak extended by RoE (5/15-21/1962), so Adley has the record as I defined it and is tied with Powell as they apparently did.

Perhaps surprisingly, when RoEs are included, the number of 8-game streaks jumps from 85 to 108.

      Are we worried about MLB-worst walk rate?

      By Hallas · Posted

      Rutschman is probably the poster child for our increasingly free-swinging ways.  There was a little blurb in Dan Szymborski's chat regarding his free swinging ways, and Dan felt like it was a conscious decision to swing at more marginal pitches.  I took a more careful look at the swing/take data and I think the data does support that, and I think Rutschman is overall a bit more valuable swinging away at marginal pitches.   You can see the change in his swing decisions on pitches in the shadow zone.  He's actually making solid contact with these pitches at a high enough rate that it's been worth it to lose some plate discipline.

      So you can post things about me like "Please stop talking about you.  No one gives a f*** about anything to do with your life, your bowling ball, your wife or anything else you try to pat yourself on the back about.  Your life is meaningless to the rest of us.".   And you said how dumb I am.  When I hadn't mentioned ANY of that in the post that you were responding to. Nothing.    I was talking about ORIOLES.  But I can't reply to any of that?  I never get personal until I am got personal with. You went there. I will tell you what....sports guy.  Post your pic.  Any pic. I will post mine....and I have...it is right in my avi. Because I know exactly what you look like. My guess is that you never will.   And we all know why.

      Rise of the Super-Teams?

      By Can_of_corn · Posted

      It's a snapshot on a random day. Dodgers won 100 games last season, which was the third most in the league.

      Somehow I had a feeling you would discount the accomplishments of a female athlete. Of course at no point did I begin to suggest they could compete against males.  That has nothing to do with how they were raised with a singular purpose to dominate in a single sport.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By bpilktree · Posted

      The Mariners and Dbacks made a major league trade last year of two contending teams.   The Mariners sent there closer for Josh Rojas a middle infielder and Dominic Canzone an outfielder.  Both the guys the Mariners aquired played a lot down the stretch.      I think with the exter wild cards and more teams in contention with playoffs there will be more of these type trades.  Maybe not someone as good as Seward was for the Mariners but solid relief guys for a position of need.

      The Williams sisters got destroyed by the 700th ranked men's tennis players in the world.  DESTROYED.  They have no chance.    Please do not compare men's and women's sports.  I played tennis my entire life, including at a Big 10 school, and the difference between men and women in sports is not EVEN in the same universe.  I would have to downsize my game 50% just so I could hit with them on a somewhat even basis.    But of course you like to make statements that are twilight zone stuff.
