Cedric is really starting to get hot. He was barreling the ball in Boston and seems he's finding his timing now. If he can keep this up, we're going to be in good shape.

Wait, I thought he wasn't a good baseball player anymore.

Mullins does outperform his expected numbers quite frequently and while he's in one of his patented slumps, his "run values" as a player makes him right about average, mainly because his defense at a

Nootbar is a MLer.  There is nothing about that catch that is shocking.  Tough catch?  Yes.  But trying to excuse Mullins because “it’s a tough catch” is doing nothing but being a homer.  You go half

Seems like Mullins has begun to heat up and get it going this past week or so. I like how he’s swinging it now. He appears to be in a grove now.

One thing I observed in the game today watching him, there were a couple of times when I thought he did not use his speed/chose to throttle it down. - When he hit the double he kind of coasted into second, I thought if he opened it up 3 bags was possible. Though there were already 2 outs and that could have been his thinking? Also, when he was on second base, I thought he could have easily stolen third as they were practically giving it to him. Ortiz was playing way back. And Mullins chose not to run, for whatever reason.

....or he could pull up lame again with a hamstring pull, which we don't need if he's hitting.  Let's be happy that he's making good decisions.  The extra base vs. reducing the chance of an injury?  I'll take the latter.

Never make the last out at third base.  He could have also been taking into account who was batting.  (I didn't see the game, so this is just a guess)

But he’s not a good baseball player anymore.  Didn’t you read the OP?   It was all decided in the first 3 games of the year.  I’m not even sure why Mulllins is still here.

He’s toast.  Should have been cut a long time ago.  He’s an old 29!   Get rid of the old guys!

To be clear, I don’t know if Mullins will have a solid year or not.  I just know you don’t judge that in 3 games, or 15 for that matter. And I like his chances of out producing 2023 this year.

So Hays has four more games to do something.

Got it!

      i still like that winning your division matters, at least a little bit.  So I think there's a happy medium between how unbalanced it was, and what you are suggesting.  13 games vs each division team feels right to me, but there are going to be years where that skews the WC thing a bit, because there's always one really bad team, it seems, somewhere (not always as bad as the ChiSox, of course).  I'm not sure how else to further balance it.  Maybe cut back on the NL stuff a bit and play more games against your non-divisional conference rivals so at least there's more head to head to base the WC on.

      Apparently this post of mine from one year ago killed this thread, as it was the last before today's bump.  In re-reading that, I am reminded (by a past version of myself, LOL) of why I love this sport.  It was actually a bit invigorating reading that back to myself.  LETS GO BIRDS!

      I've found the older I get, the less interest I have in watching my teams lose. It's a waste of time so I find something else to do. Watching my team lose is not enjoyable so I'd rather do something I'd enjoy. It's not like I'm that old either, just 47. I get a lot more enjoyment out of watching good games with other teams, to be honest. Watching the Bills in the first half last night was fun. The Redskins/Bengals game was fun to watch. Man City and Arsenal on Sunday was great. The Chiefs/Falcons game was a good game. There were a few decent college football games this last weekend as well. I'll watch the game to start tonight and if the O's are down 3-0 after the 1st inning, I'll find something else to do, probably watch some of the other MLB games that have playoff implications.

      It will be interesting to see if there is any carry over from the HBP's culminating in Heston's beaning.  Hate to say it but that's around when the .500 play started, now much worse.  I did like the way HK stared down Holmes after being hit-I think this series will mean a little more to him.

      It’s O’s and Yanks. Good guys versus bad guys. Baby Birds up against the Evil Empire — and another trip to the post-season is in the cards. I’ve been cheering for the O’s and very specifically against the Yanks going on six decades, and I’m getting good at it. So, yeah. I’m fired up. Now ask me about hopes and dreams. I don’t think this Orioles team is going to make a run to WS this year.  They have scuffled, they have failed — but I’m reminded, even in the platinum age of data — baseball is still a game of failure.  And man, runners in scoring position over the last week, I’m not sure I want to know that number. They’re still my guys. As long as they’re in it, so am I.

      Let's go Tampa! Actually, I'm fired up for the offseason.
