I think people are dismissing how hard Manny worked his entire life and without a father figure around to guide him.  From everything I’ve heard about him he busted his backside to get to where he is.

Makes sense. He might be the biggest ‘buzz-level’ star playing  in this game even if Seager were to somehow play. 

It’s him or Adley but can’t imagine a catcher doing an in game interview.

True. I think Gunnar might actually be more on the national radar than Adley these days, which is saying something. But yeah I don’t think anyone wants our C talking to Karl Ravech while he’s catching tonight LOL.

That was empire status for sure (and really they’ve always been the dominant team), but they didn’t become “evil” until Steinbrenner IMO. 

Oh, I don't know. If it weren't for the evil Yanks winning basically every year we'd probably still have the New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers.

Maybe I’m just old and crotchety but I absolutely hate these in game interviews.    And really don’t want our best player distracted for even a second.   Obviously Gunnar is sure he can handle it or he wouldn’t do it, but I’ll spend the inning worrying for him and not paying attention to the game.   
 

As I read what I wrote that definitely sounds like a me problem.    But still!

I find it pretty distracting. But I'm someone who doesn't even like dugout interviews during the game.

I’m with you.   Especially when the inning runs long and the interviewer and player are struggling to still come up with something to say.   Fortunately the amazing Kevin Brown rarely has those awkward moments.

  • Ronald Acuna Jr
  • Vladimir Guerrero Jr
  • Fernando Tatis Jr
  • Juan Soto
  • Gunnar Henderson

This list is a mix of over- and under-rating Gunnar.

For example, Cabrera played in a more offense-heavy environment, so his .919 OPS is actually worse than Gunnar's .871. But, Cabrera came up earlier, when he was just 20, while Gunnar didn't debut until lat in his age 21 season. Griffey is somewhat similar, not with the pre-PED era timeline, but he was in the majors at the age where Gunnar was taking the year off for COVID but otherwise would have been in A ball. When ARod made his debut just shy of his 19th birthday, Gunnar was in the Gulf Coast League. But, ARod came up in a season where the AL scored 5.32 runs/game, or a full run more than today so a run in 1994 was worth just about 0.8 runs today.

Mike Trout played 652 games through his age 23 season, while Gunnar will probably end up about half that.

      Kevin Seitzer hitting coach?

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      I saw Seitzer charge the mound at a game at Memorial Stadium in ‘89 or ‘90. No thanks.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      ???. Cowser took more swings against LF than any other LH hitter on the team ( not named  Henderson). He was one of the guys they did not platoon.

      I think Kevin Seiyltzer was the fall guy for a team that thought they were a championship team.  This guy has overseen more a decade of hitting in Atlanta, has been through developing and helping young batters succeed when the league adjusts.  Most importantly, he has a ring!

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I honestly think there is very little difference in most the teams that made the playoffs.  The most wins was 98 wins and there was 12 teams with 86 wins or more.  It also seems that many of the teams are on the same page with scouting and analytics now hitting wise.  Years back you had moneyball which the A’s used before anyone else.  Then the Astros and few teams started with analytics and seemed to be ahead of the rest of the league but they have caught up now imo.  Now the move seems to be on launch angle and hitting homers by getting the ball in the air but that seems to be across the league.  Obviously some teams have more money and more talented players but the strategy seems about the same.  The main differences I see is in pitching in the playoffs which is bullpen games and using openers rather then a starter to go 7 innings and carry your team to win now a slight sign of trouble they are taking them out.  With all these short inning guys and pitching them in certain pockets we are seeing very little offense and the hitting with runners in scoring position has been awful.  It all comes down to RISP at bats and getting 1 or 2 big base hits in those situations.  We just haven’t been able to get those hits so far in short series.

      And we've seen similar with Kjerstad. Kjerstad might be the best pure hitting prospect in the Orioles system of recent years besides Gunnar. I want to see him playing everyday next year is possible none of this sitting him versus LHP more often than not. These prospects need to get their reps and stop treating them like John Lowenstein and Benny Ayala.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I don’t see Elias trading off prospects anymore at least top guys.  We have moved a few guys in last year and I expect they try to build that back up.  They should have money to use if they want to add talent.
