Did you look at the comments on the video?  Nobody was complimentary of the swing.

We'll have to see, and this guy brings a ton to the diamond outside of the batter's box, but that is not a swing built to drive the ball 400 feet.

I saw some comments that hated the swing.  Doesn’t mean much to me.  Can he hit and can he hit for some power.  If he can, I don’t care if someone thinks his swing is not a thing of beauty.   Hunter Pence had a weird swing.   As long as it gets the job done.  I honestly think the swing looks good but I’m no Ted Williams.  I can see it with Dylan Beavers.  Can’t see anything strange here.  I guess I’m not as technical as you guys.

I'm just catching up on this but we know how Elias and company share information outside of their inner circle. They don't. We've heard from players many times say they don't hear from the Orioles abo

@Sports Guyis so prolific, he's the #3 poster on the Soxtalk thread despite joining on page 102 of 149. He's also the #1 poster in this thread, so potentially on track to be the #1 poster on both team

 Nothing screams baseball expert like someone commenting on Instagram.

Looks smooth to me.  I also think people are underestimating his power.  He might not be a 20 homer guy but he’s not a single digit homer guy either.   Looks like he has pretty good leverage in that swing.  I guess we’ll see.

I like his balance, head control, path to the ball, and extension through the ball.  Lotta positives.  He’s an athletic dude.  Sometimes you just gotta let athletes be athletic.  Hoping for the best.  
 

He’s got pop.  He’s a strong dude.

If this guy can just hit line drives into the alleys that could be enough power with everything else he does.

Tell you what.  When it’s mid season and he’s got 2 homers feel free to rib me.  On the other hand, I’m going to link to his first 400 foot homer and do the same.

True but he’s going to hit some home runs too.  More than 10 THIS season.   Book it.

No, that's always the game.  We all agree to that by being on the internet.

Well, I won't argue semantics, and we can agree to disagree, but his swing does not look smooth to me, and it's easy to see why people question the power potential.

I’m sure they are working with him. Even if he’s a 10-15 homerun guy it’s fine if he’s piling on the doubles.

How did we get this far off topic. Did someone suggesting trading Bradfield in a trade for Cease?

It’s actually your fault for mentioning Cook and Haskins as being outfield depth that was “close”.

Ok …. 
 

Haskins was .268/.368/ .831 in 80 or so at bats at AAA. He’s a good defender in the OF. I’d like to see him develop some power. I’d agree he’d  need to in order to be more than a Joe Orsulak type. Cook will need to improve at the plate to have a real shot. But, he did hit 24 bombs and drive in 80. He strikes out a ton so he is a work in progress.

      Cedric en fuego!!

      By Hallas · Posted

      In terms of energy?   e = 1/2 mv^2 football: 60 mph -> 26.8 m/s, 14.5 oz = .411 kg.  That's 147.5 joules. baseball: 102 mph -> 45.59 m/s, 5 oz = .142 kg.  That's 147.5 joules.   I don't think they're 100% equivalent - I think the higher raw speed on the arm of a 102 mph pitch introduces more stress on the arm than a 60 mph football throw.  But they're not that far off.

      There is no chance that over 60 mph for a QB is the equivalent of 102.  QBs do not train for velocity like pitchers do.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By 25 Nuggets · Posted

      I would prefer they ask for Jon Gray in spite of the Orioles destroying him in his last start - he wouldn't have to face the Orioles lineup again.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      He makes $43 million this year. The Mets are paying $21 million of that. I don’t think we pick up the remaining $10+ post deadline for 10-12 starts. It would just depend on what Texas would ask for to pick up the tab.

      Luis Robert

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Haynie on 105.7, has been beating the Luis Robert drum for months on the O’s pre game show. So I think that’s why people like the idea of Robert. Robert also is always hurt.  We need a bat. Probably a RH bat to DH in the playoffs versus a LH SP. That bat is Mayo. It’s just hard to get Mayo up before September when we get the extra roster spot.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Filmstudy · Posted

      Holliday went 1 for 2 with 3 walks on Friday night. 2024: .444 OBP, .911 OPS MiLB Career: .447 OBP, .931 OPS His OBP is EXACTLY what this O's team needs, would fill a key offensive weakness at 2nd base, help grind opposing pitching, and magnify the power up and down the lineup.  It's all dependent on his ability to throw and play 2B at a passable level. If Holliday starts to hit at the ML level, the question of who bats leadoff is over for the foreseeable future and we can go back to complaining about 1 slumping hitter or backup catcher at the bottom of the lineup.

      This. We literally have no lineup holes right now, and Mayo, Norby, Jax lurk. Any trade discussion should center around the four most essential and crucial elements to O's success for the balance of the regular season and playoffs: 1. pitching 2. pitching 3. pitching 4. damn, forgot the 4th one. oh yeah, its pitching.
