I think now that the dust has settled from the trade deadline, that move might be coming.   Probably not today or tomorrow, no sense making Joey travel to Canada for 1 or 2 games.  But it wouldn't at

Imagine you are sitting at the game with Roy and eating peanuts.  You watch the game and you see something happen and you turn to your friend and spout some reaction.  Maybe its frustation and not too nice about the player.  

Are you doing anything wrong?  NO you are among friends blowing off steam watching a sport you both enjoy.  This is all that is happening.  It is not more complicated than that.

You attempting to call people out for normal reactions is weird and creepy.  

You've said more cringe things than Archie Bunker and you are calling me weird and creepy?

Mountcastle isn't in the game thread right?

Roy is.

See the difference?

No I just see someone making a butt of himself and it seems pretty similar.  Making judgements of people about what they say about an athelete on a board designed for us all to make those exact judgements is just annoying.

When did that Candelario trade to the Cubs happen???   I didn't think I read about it until sometime this afternoon.

The Nats are at home in DC.   The Cubs are home in Chicago.   Candelario just got a hit for Chicago.   Was he already packed or something?

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      Wieters' bWAR was 13.3 through his first 4 seasons (2009 - 2012).  It ended at 18.3 after his last season in 2020, so he was basically ineffective for the last 8 years of his career. Adley's bWAR is 13.1 through his first 3 seasons. So it isn't like Wieters didn't have a strong start to his career just like Adley did.  I think the concern that folks have is that the rest of Adley's career will play out like the rest of Wieters' career.  It seemed very unlikely halfway through this year, but this has been one hell of a drop-off.   And after Wieters never lived up to expectations, it is definitely a fear that we may be reliving this again.  Let's hope this second half was just an aberration.

      Adley has been in a horrible almost 4 month slump. Before that, he was the WAY BETTER offensive player. But I pose this question: What does it matter if Rutschman turns out to be worse than Wieters? Matt Wieters was drafted almost TWENTY YEARS AGO. No one in this org had anything to do with him being on our roster. HEck none of our current front office was even here for his entire Orioles' career.

      I do feel like Adley is out of shape or at least has gotten more out of shape than usual. That’s part of the reason I think he’s hurt…not working out as much. If he is healthy and the slump is this bad, I’m ok questioning whether or not the new GF(ie the distraction) is part of it. Is he putting everything into the game that he should?

      Can the O's hit Lugo and Wacha?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      Can they? - Yes it's possible. Anything is possible.  Will they? - I have my doubts. The team was abysmal (minus Cedric Mullins and O'Hearn's pinch hit appearance) with the bat in their hands yesterday. And for many of our hitters this was nothing more than a continuation/carryover from the second half of the season.

      Right now Geronimo Gil is better than Adley.  But I'm not gonna kick Adley while he's down.  Let him get a reset, work on some things in the offseason, and hope that this 2nd half ends up being just an aberration in a good career.

      Which is crazy since they put 7 on the board vs Ragans hitting all singles. They had an approach that worked and then they went away from it.
