I’m sorry but I have to say it… Beavers pelts his first dam AA home run this eve.

Beavers is heating up.  Tonight, he went 2 for 4 with a triple to raise his slash line to .279/.380/.541.   In the last 8 games he’s slashed .323/.416/.613.

This one took a lot out of Beavers.

3 for 5 with a 2B today as well. 

With Beavers’ draft capital, profile (plus everything except hit tool), and the reputation of the Orioles hitter player development machine, he has the potential to really explode in offseason prospect evaluation with a strong finish at AA.

He had a 124 wRC+ at A+ this season even counting his slow start (shades of Joey Ortiz at AA last season), and made it to AA before his 22nd birthday (in a week).

Want a cool trick?

Baseball Reference knows nicknames.

So you can just go to Baseball Reference and type in Baby Giraffe and Brandon Belt's page will come up.

Or, the guy who made the reference could easily answer my question.  Or, he couldn't, and I won't know or really care.  It was a conversational question, not everything has to be researched.  And not everything has to be responded to with snark, particularly when its not addressed to you in any way.

What?

I answered your question AND gave you a helpful hint.

WTH is your problem?

 

Edit- Now if I hadn't actually answered your question I could see where you might have a point.

But I did.

So go calm yourself.

I'll remain as calm as I need to be thanks.  Sure, you answered the question, with a nice little helping of belittling sarcasm, but that's your shtick, so I guess I shouldn't have called you out.  So I'll replace my response with:

 

Gee, thanks so much for answering my question and directing me to a site so I never have to ask simple questions or try to have a conversation with someone who posted something I'm curious about, ever again.

Or, if like myself, you ever remember a player by their nickname and are trying to recall what their actual given name is.

I have absolutely used Baseball Reference for that.

But so sorry for trying to be helpful.

I'll try and remember that you don't need my help.

Why was that snarky?  I mean, I understand that 75% of @Can_of_corn‘s posts are some level of snarky, but this just seemed like a genuinely helpful tip.  It was news to me that BB-ref accepted nicknames.  

As an aside, I was playing Immaculate Grid yesterday, and I needed a player who played for both the Red Sox and the Giants.   The Panda came immediately to mind, but it took me like 20 minutes to dredge his actual name out of my memory banks.  Getting old sucks!

I‘m not familiar with the moniker. Who was the old Baby Giraffe?

As I see has been covered, it was Belt....now a Grandpa Giraffe, and looking beatable as an opponent's 2nd place hitter!

He's actually having a pretty good year for them, and hasn't been injury absent as much as a guy as old as him with his track record on that turf I thought would be.

      Where are the pollyannas?

      By Hank Scorpio · Posted

      I too was *this* pissed off yesterday. I'm sympathetic. But the reality of the situation is that Kansas City played out of their minds defensively and baseball happened.  Now, this was a microcosm of the second half of the season and that's just a fact. They dealt with injuries, just like every team does... they just didn't deal with them very effectively. I'm not sure if casting blame upon the hitting coaches or Hyde really holds any water for me. But I understand the desire for a scapegoat. It was REALLY hard to watch batter after batter trying to hit a 13 run home run on pitches that weren't really all that close to the strike zone. They were way out of their lanes and it was patently obvious that panic was setting in. I felt like it was a basketball game and Hyde needed to call a timeout or something. Like they needed to be snapped out of it or something, maybe by something drastic like, oh, putting Jackson Holliday in there for an at bat in an important spot.  They hit a lot of balls at guys, they swung at bunch of BS repeatedly. I saw it from Mountcastle, Santander, Henderson, Cowser (embarrassingly so), McCann during game 1, Rutschman too.  The only thing I could maybe blame Hyde for is not successfully alleviating the panic. Baseball's different though... I'm just a slapdick fan, I have no idea what the realities of his job are. But that lineup needed to find a way to relax and the further the game went the more they freaked out. It was the opposite of a loose dugout. It was fear, panic and foreboding doom. Is it even possible to snap that group out of it? I dunno. The veterans were the ones (other than Mullins) that were pressing the most. I think I would have found a way to get Holliday or Kjerstad some meaningful at bats. Yeah, maybe that's Monday morning quarterbacking. Maybe they would have reacted the same way the rest of them did.  They couldn't have been worse...

      Ok I’m changing this a little. Don’t know O’Hearn is worth the 8 mil.. Maybe we can replace. I’m actually pretty juiced at the potential of this and all of these guys are overdue for regular ABs together.    CF Mullins 3B Westburg C Adley SS Gunnar LF Cowser DH O’hearn/Mayo 1B Mountcastle  RF Kjerstad 2B Holliday Util: Mayo (regular DH platoon, spot starts in the field, Mateo (speed/defense)

      Honestly, they need to fix the right field wall too.  It is too ridiculous and screws with the right-handed hitters.  Move it in 10 feet and lower it a bit.

      The Royals

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      I said it before, and I'll say it again. This Royals team is entirely a function of their starting pitching (Ragans, Lugo, Wacha, Singer) and their recent BP arm pickups/conversions (Erceg, Bubic, Lynch, etc.). Their offense is basically Witt, Pasq, and Perez. I was pretty confident that the O's could shut them down going into this series, and they did. They only scored 3 runs. And none of their run scoring hits were all that amazing...if at all. The issue, of course, was the offense. Was that because of the pitching? Personally I thought Ragans looked hittable. He pitched better than Lugo, but the O's came up tiny in RISP situations. Same as yesterday. Ragans and Lugo mostly pitched out of the zone, and the O's just were aggressive. So, in this regard, give the credit to the Royals scouts and analytics teams. They knew exactly how to pitch to Santander: up, up, up. They knew exactly how to pitch to Cowser: low changeups. They knew exactly how to pitch to everybody not named Cedric Mullins. This Royals club is half decent, and if this O's club was the 2023 team, they shellack them. Alas, here we are. Think the Yankees are going to railroad these guys if they aren't rusty.

      He was developed according to the Orioles'  development plan.

      Ryan Mountcastle avoiding getting hit in his dick with a pitch while trying to hold up his swing was infuriating.

      For the most part, no. The biggest thing a manager does is the culture they set and what they do off the field.  By all accounts, the players like Hyde, the culture is good and the team is happy with him. Now, if there is something there that we don’t know about, by all means make the change. However,  if every report is true, I see no reason to make a change. That’s making a change just to make a change. I would rather focus on the on field than assume some ceremonial change at manager is going to matter. Its been studied and we have talked about it a lot but in game strategy is so similar that its really only a game or two in terms of “manager WAR”.
