Friday, June 23: Orioles open homestand vs Mariners, weather permitting

[Tony-OH]

79 pitches and he has two outs on the 3rd inning. Embarrassing effort. He should donate his check this week to charity.

Since this game stinks, as a point of comparison 

         De La Cruz             Henderson

A+         74                            65

AA        47                            47

AAA     38                             65

STDs contracted? Haircuts avoided?

Wtfffffffff

[Tony-OH]

Gibson is now acting like a rookie. Not even paying attention to the runners. no wonder this guy is a journeyman. Pitches like a turd and then loses his head.

[Yossarian]

This is a performance worthy of these uniforms

OMFG, Ely De La Cruz hit a cycle.

Frickin 15 games into his career.

 

Not possible.   Everyone knows that the adjustment period from AAA to MLB is brutal and all rookies can't hit for at least a few months after being called up...

Yes it is not an identical match, it is close enough to know that De La Cruz would not be up. Point still stands. Just like Jackson Holiday will most likely not be up in May of 2024. I guess we'll see. Gunnar was the number two prospect in baseball in MLB Pipeline mid season top 100. 

Wait, if Holiday isn't up until May of next year, you think they're moving him slow? Do you think De La Cruz is 19? He was an international signing on top of all that vs Holiday in the draft. Cruz spent 4* years in the minor

3 + 1 pandemic

To be fair, the Orioles have sucked in pretty much all of their uniforms.  

[Tony-OH]

Good Lord Gibson.. 

[HOF19]

Just now family member asked me "So ......Are these Orioles a Playoff caliber/roster team " ?????.........My reply? >>>>>> "Ain't sure yet ".

[Tony-OH]

86 pitches to get through 3 innings?

And Brown wants to ay, "Beautiful cutter to end it". shut your mouth. He's like one of those knucklehead fans that would give Gibson a standing ovation after an outing like this, and not in a smart alleck way.

[oriolediehard]

We can't hit or pitch today. Today is like a day off at the beach.

No I dont think that would be moving slow. I was making a comparison of a top rated guy coming into the year in the high minors as opposed to mid season. Jackson Holiday will be 20 next year, not 19. And Elly is 21. Its a fair comparison, just like Gunnar of 2022 is.

Warning track power.
