Pushing hard for Baldelli (but were unsuccessful)

Please no, I can not believe AM is even considering a Hinske or Sexson.

Is he serious?

I mean come on, we have capable players in Reimold, Montanez, and Salazar.

The O's must have NO faith in Reimold what so ever. Why are they wasting their time. If they don't want him, trade him.

Ssshhh, don't say his name to loudly, the FO might hear and finally figure out he exists.:rolleyes:

Considering Rocco's a native New Englander, it sounds like we'll be booing his red-socked behind unless he decides to go "Tex" on his homies.

I heard that he always went to Red Sox games as a youngster...sporting his Mickey Tettleton jersey.:D

I like this - sounds like a new adjective. You know, guy says to his girlfriend "I really like you and feel close because we grew up neighbors but.. I gotta "Tex" you with that babe you really, really hate."

You just got "Texed!"

Is that worse than being "Perlozzoed?"

Richie Sexon come on down

::002_scry::002_scry::002_scry::002_scry::

(AM)

I could wile away the hours

Conferrin' with the flowers

Consultin' with the rain

And my head I'd be scratchin'

While my thoughts were busy hatchin'

If I only had a brain

I'd unravel any riddle

For any individ'le

In trouble or in pain

(PA)

With the thoughts you'd be thinkin'

You could be another Lincoln

If you only had a brain

(AM)

Oh, I would tell you why

The ocean's near the shore

I could think of things I never thunk before

And then I'd sit and think some more

I would not be just a nuffin'

My head all full of stuffin'

My heart all full of pain

I would dance and be merry

Life would be a ding-a-derry

If I only had a brain

Sigh... I was SO looking forward to the Baldelli Watch Thread Part II
The only way Dunn signs here is if we over pay him. No matter how cheap he becomes in this market we will still be likely to pay more than he is worth to us. And it won't happen until the very last minute when all other options for him have gone.

    • Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that. 
    • The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.
    • Looks maybe concussion related. 
    • How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.
    • I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made. 
    • Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
