He was pushed to AA at the end of last year without really proving anything in A+.   I guess they decided to put the brakes on the 17 year old.

Yep, that's why I said back at A+.  AA was a head scratcher last year for him.

Best part about this, he hit a home run the pitch before this but the umpire called it foul. everyone including the Jacksonville announcers thought it was a home run. So what do he do on the next pitc

Hopefully that gets him going. He’s off to a tough start. Of course, he also lost some time in ST, so he didn’t get the same offseason/spring training he normally gets. Perhaps a slow start should have been expected.

He played at first base tonight too.

Dropped a foul ball for an error.

Had a couple of base hits up the middle last night, one of which was off a 98 MPH fastball, so maybe he's starting to get his timing down. 

He's still not driving the ball too much yet, but that will come. I think he's close to a breakout game.

Basallo is off to a very poor start this year and the 0-16 BB-K ratio is shocking after what he did last year. I don't know if he's pressing or the elbow is bothering him, but he's not driving the ball much at all this year.

Not sure anyone expected him to be slashing .237/.233/.322/.555 after 60 PAs with just one homer. I would bet a lot of money he would not be walkless at 60 PAs. Just really, really disappointing so far. He's looked really off balanced and out of sorts and his hits have been a lot ground balls. 

Hopefully he'll get it going soon.

He is 5 years younger than the competition. Personally I feel like there's nothing to see here. He was on a heater when he was added to Bowie late last season. He's coming off an interrupted ST and stress fracture injury. He's 19. It's going to be ok lol.

I know it goes without saying, but if you're off balance, you don't have power. He probably needs to get back to focusing on his foundation...the basics. I still have no doubt about this kid, disappointing start notwithstanding.

What does this have to do with my statements? Are you excited over his start? It's ok to be disappointed in a player's start and not give up on him at all.

I just will never understand why some of you feel like you need to say "there's nothing to see here" without providing any context or statistical backing. What the hell is up with the snarky lol? That's the kind of BS that pisses me off. 

Basically, you are showing your fanboy status when do stuff like this. This is the Hangout. we make observations and then we back things up with pertinent stats or information. If you wanna be all fanboy and "lol" posts that give facts because the fanboy in you wants to say, "there's nothing to see here," save your typing. That kind of stuff really rubs me wrong especially when I deserve a lot more respect than you loling a factual post. 

If you want to be snarky, don't do it my posts. That's disrespectful and BS.

      Am I crazy for thinking Burnes isn't going to sniff Cole's deal?  I'm thinking like 7/260-280.  I don't think he's going to sniff Cole's deal.  For starters i dont think hes as good a pitcher as Cole was at the time of his signing.  Also, the Yankees aren't going to be in the bidding so that leaves the Mets, Giants, Nats, Orioles as teams that can afford him.  The Sox could too, but they're on the fringe of contention and might opt to develop more with the Yankees and Orioles solidly ahead of them in division.  Only the Mets from that list really seem like teams that would go over 300m for a pitcher, but they will be pressed for money because of the luxury tax.

      Agree a strong RHP bullpen arm that misses bats would be good to add. Looking at Spotrac I don’t see who it would be. Dominguez could certainly be someone that could fill this role.

      O's target? Roki Sasaki

      It looks like I misread your post as being about last offseason instead of the 2017-2018 offseason.  My mistake, but does that in any way affect my overall point - you know the part that I made explicit and you left out of your response - that all the old, reflexive Angelosian nonsense no longer automatically applies? I'm unclear on what you're driving at, especially if I have to go back to the 2017-2018 offseason when Peter Angelos might still have been giving input on running the team.  I think it's a stretch to try to draw parallels to those days, or even the John Angelos years, to David Rubenstein potential as an owner.

      Irsay stealing the Colts in a midnight sneak away is in my top five depressing B-More moments, as well as the dreaded We Are Family Pirates in the ‘79 series. Otherwise, it’s a good bad list.

      I forgot the name of the movie, but Jimmy Fallon was playing a BoSox superfan (tough role for an NY kid) and it was during the era of the ‘curse’ (right at the end of it actually) — a kid he was coaching asked, “What have the Red Sox ever done for you?” His character didn’t have an answer. But it made me think. The movie was out during the 14-years of losing seasons. I asked myself the same question about whether a lifetime of fandom was worth it. For me, outside of my family - 15 generations or more on the Eastern Shore - the O’s are also part of my DNA.  Win, lose, lose horribly, lose ugly, bad ownership, they just can’t shake me. All that said, I totally understand the frustration. It will take me a little longer to heal from this ugly exit to 2024.
