For some reason, Bruce Chen just jumped into my head as someone who also played with Toronto but I got that one wrong..prevented me from getting a perfect score.

 

Maybe you thought that cause he pitched for KC and they both have blue in their colors.  My mind works that way sometimes.

9/9, 18 score today. I thought this one was fairly easy if you can remember some random all star players for column three and it's always easier when there's an Orioles category.

I just learned about a new daily gsme called the Immaculste Grid, www.immaculategrid.com. Basically it’s a 3x3 grid that you need to fill in with baseball players who meet the criteria of both th

That was immediately what I thought of when I did it but even in the moment, I said to myself, he pitched for KC, so don’t mix that up but I was sure Toronto was one of the 75 teams he pitched for.

So, even though I thought of that, I’m sure that’s exactly what happened anyway.

Btw, looking at the BR page afterwards, I completely forgot Joe Carter played for us in 98.

So did I until I saw Moose post his pic in the High Water Mark thread. Somehow I forgot all about his 11 homers and negative WAR. But we really used to be the final dumping ground of once-decent players. So many guys like Ron Kittle, Keith Moreland, Greg Walker, Ernie Whitt, Sammy Sosa came and quickly went into retirement (plus Colby MF Rasmus).

110.  My Orioles/Rangers pick is at 0.005%.  The rest of the picks aren't so hot.

My correct answer for A’s 3000 hits was only a little better than getting that question wrong.  The only way to score on that question is to have a good grasp on which old timers played on the Philadelphia A’s at some point in their careers.   I didn’t.  So, I scored 140 with a 9/9 grid, well more than half my points coming from that answer.

And I thought, I made a good choice with Harold Baines at 0.9% today for Rangers/Orioles. 259 score for today. Could have done better, I made the mistake of assuming Ken Singleton and John Olerud won a silver slugger award during their careers.

That’s crazy, I figured both of them would have.

I was considering Olerud, but I wasn’t certain, so I went with Vlad Jr.   Thought it would be the most popular answer, but it wasn’t.

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      I have no idea why any team would want more than 1 philosophy across the board, especially a young team. Possibly a player's demands or contract calls for his own hitting coach.. but I stand by my wish.

      At cost considerations there is 2 players i'd rather have listed in that article over Crochet, Helsley leading that. Also Mountcastle to the Reds for a SP makes a lot of sense also.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Guilty. I'm working to be intentional to enjoy the day to day of a lot of exciting careers beginning, and not miss the moment as during say Peyton Manning's career in a different chapter of life when assured 14-2 or 13-3 seasons were four months of boredom while you waited to see what the playoff stumble would be this time.    SIGBOT's stuff works in the regular season same as Billy Beane's didn't in the playoffs. I don't follow Over/Unders, but would guess the 2025 Orioles are 1st or 2nd in the AL on early action.    My informal AL power rankings end of 2024: 1. A nonexistent Orioles team with a functional Adley Rutschman 2. Yankees with Soto 3. Tie between actual Orioles with broken Adley and end stage Astros that lost several series to hot Central teams 4. Yankees without Soto 5. Central I'm cheating Cleveland there for a joke, and hope they win, which they are plenty capable of doing.    It is an interesting matchup for the stuff the two teams are good at being very different.

      I don't see the O's trading Mullins without getting a replacement for him from somewhere.  It's doubtful we have anyone in the minors yet ready to step in for him.  Maybe the same for Urias since he's the perfect backup infielder.  I think Mateo and Mountcastle are more likely to be traded.

      You mean like how the Os dealt guys like Hays, Stowers and Norby?  Yea, guys who are good depth but guys we can stand to trade are guys I want to trade….and obviously Elias feels similarly. These guys carry value. The level of value depends on the player and you can debate the value of return but yes, you absolutely should trade out of depth and trade guys that perhaps that don’t match your team philosophies.  That’s what teams do.

      Who knows.  Lots of possibilities. There could be another trade like the Hays trade.  Or maybe you can get a ML ready arm that profiles as a high end reliever. I don’t think that you will get a proven lock down guy but that doesn’t mean you can’t get someone that will end up a big contributor.
