Seriously, some of the new threads posted the past couple of days have really irritated me for their absurdity. Makes me want to avoid the message board.

That’s up to you.  There are five days (four now) with no Orioles games.   That’s going to lead to a lot of random topics.  There’s only so much to say about whether we’d rather play Texas or Tampa.

If the guys in the clubhouse want him and think he can help the team win, yes. No one else’s opinion really matters. 
 

 

This. Along with Elias, etc feeling good about it

I'm not going to judge Bauer like many do; I simply don't know him and I'm not going to trust the media's perception of anyone. If you judged him off of his Player Development films alone, he seems knowledgeable and hard working

Pass. Orioles media has made a big deal about how much the team values character, and whatever the legal system owes to Bauer, he is clearly a toxic personality. Also, the team will have Bradish, Rodriguez, Means, and Kremer coming back, with Tyler Wells, DL Hall, plus Povich and McDermott in the mix for fifth starter. Why do they need to sign a 33 year old who hasn't thrown an ML pitch in almost three years?

    • Mayo coming back from injury could have his debut in Baltimore delayed. 
    • Wasn't a huge fan of his swing for that last out today but coming in to pinch hit with 2 outs isn't easy.
    • Interpreting Malike's comment that way is theoretically possible, but I didn't take it that way--didn't feel that shade was being thrown on me at all. But thanks for the concern.
    • People are being a bit ridiculous with the holier than thou takes criticizing a little humor. I am not saying what happened couldn’t cause a significant concussion, but it would be a bit of a fluke if it did. Mullins barely hit him with the bat and he had a helmet on. The fact that it was in the back of the head did make him more vulnerable, but this wasn’t the type of thing you see and think he was lucky to be alive.  Guys have probably hit their heads harder on the top of the dugout or on the fence making catches.  And note this comes from someone whose son has suffered severe concussions and who is well aware of the dangers associated with them. In short, people need to lighten up a bit on guys like Roy.  It was a little gallows humor. 
    • Yeah, you read that wrong. LA2 is one of my favorite posters here and he knows it. No harm, no foul. If you aren't familiar with the game threads, it doesn't matter what the team is doing, people complain about it and people did make that same joke in the game thread long before Roy said it here. Game thread in summary - when the O's are not doing well, it's insufferable, when they are doing well, it's mildly less insufferable. There, that wasn't hard. I'd appreciate it if you didn't assume I'm throwing shade at people. I'll leave that up to you to do, you're really good at it.
    • Comp a. Like Gunnar, and beavers…
    • Wasn't Westburg a 2nd round draft pick?  It's a little early to judge last year's draft.
