Can someone please get rid of this guy? Hasn’t he violated some rules or something? Not sure I remember another poster making this board this unenjoyable.

You have to give up something of quality to get quality. Absolutely Ortiz would be a plus defender at 2B and would be doing well "IF" the Orioles would have given him that chance. I think the Orioles

I know there are a lot of people, that rightfully so, are saying to give him time, and I agree to a certain extent. But the one thing that has to be recognized is how badly Holliday is being dominated

That's been my impression of him too from the MiLB times I've seen him.  He seems a bit more shy/aloof.  Not the center of attention extrovert type like the crew ahead of him (Adley, Westburg, Cowser, evem Hunnar).  Nothing wrong with it either.  One can hope it means he won't seek out a large market team...

Though the relational dynamics in the minors that can be a bit more 'stars' and 'scrubs' if that's how one views things...

Looks like he gets a hug from Cowser/Henderson. I’m at the game and it’s very bright, so hard to see on my phone.

He even looked better in the AB following the hit. More patience and tried to foul off a pitch that he got fair, but we have been seeing him straight up wiff on that picth

Looked more comfortable but the ball he hit was 6 inches inside.

I'm glad he got a hit, but if Hoskins wasn't holding a runner it's a groundout to first base, which is where most of his balls in play have been, groundouts to the right side. I'm not worried, he'll adjust.

I was there too.  Bleacher seats with the family.  The natives were getting restless after his first 2 ABs...  Glad he got #1 out of the way!  Because I'm confident the boo birds were coming.

I’d hope O’s fans would be a little better than that.

Nobody is going to boo the number one prospect after his first 4 games. They wouldn’t even do that in Philly.

I'm not worried about his bat, he seems to not get to too many balls, but maybe he's not comfortable diving for stuff at 2B yet?

OAA is already a +2 after his first 3 games at 2B.

Right and DRS has him at -1. The data in 3 games is pretty meaningless, but it appears to me, that several balls hit his way that he didn't make an attempt on could have possibly been at the least knocked down. I'm sure the ball gets on him differently at 2B after being at SS for so long, and I'm not worried, but he's watched some balls just go by without even trying to make an attempt on a play.

      Extend Burnes

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      You said Ortiz was in the range of Basallo. That’s completely laughable.  They aren’t even close.    Bradfield has been in the range of Ortiz, as some have him just inside the top 100 and some don’t. Now, a few places did place Ortiz higher than any spot Bradfield has been but it took a while for Ortiz to be ranked and Bradfield not so much. Beavers will be there soon enough and since Beavers is much younger, they definitely could value Beavers as much or more than a guy like Ortiz…especially a team that’s far away.

      FIX THE DANG BULLPEN

      I don't want to overstate it but imo having one, or preferably two, slots in the bullpen that you can shuttle guys with is a must.

      FIX THE DANG BULLPEN

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Keep in mind that the bullpen had to cover 6.1 IP yesterday. 4 IP on Friday. All scoreless. Btw. Throwing 13.1 IP in a 3 games series is a ton for a bullpen.  I do agree that we use our pen so much that it would be more valuable to have a shuttle spot as the last spot than a guy like Viera. We should have a fresh arm for every game with the shuttle.

      Lack of RH bats in the OF

      By Can_of_corn · Posted

      I don't think it's an outlier so much as by design.  Elias has been targeting LH bats in the draft. My guess is he thinks he can get a RH bat for the outfield on the cheap if he needs one.

      Four hits and 2 ER in 1.1 IP is acceptable?

      Lack of RH bats in the OF

      By Radagast · Posted

      Thank you for allowing me to join.  We obviously have more pressing issues to deal with.  And you all have probably been over this a hundred times.  I was thinking about the prospect of losing the Santander and Hays right-handed at-bats in the OF soon (Hays will of course continue to fight into next year) and then I looked at our OF depth and saw almost all lefties in the wings.   Maybe Mayo, Norby and Rhodes will become factors, but when you get right down to it, I don't see a RH hitting, starting OF'er on the horizon.   Am I missing something?  Not a big deal right now, but seems like an outlier thing.

      I don’t think we see McDermott this year.  His control is a major hurdle.  I’m not sure how Povich would do out of the pen.  I imagine it would be a challenge to get used to. But, I do like the idea of bring pitchers in as a reliever to give them a taste at a young age like the Os did back in the day.
