Samuel Basallo 2024


Just Regular

Recommended Posts

I see he caught his first game of the year too. So what does everyone think about the slow start?  Anyone with the milb package or that goes to games?  Elbow injury?  The cold weather?  Being 19 in AA?  Or just an ordinary slow start?

Combination of all of the above probably.  And also, it's only a few games, so not going to say he's fully out of it yet.  

Just the ebbs and flows of baseball as far as I'm concerned, but I'm guessing the injury probably didn't help.

Not enough games to lose any sleep over it.  I’d go with ordinary slow start.

Gotta love the power to CF and RF. Through 98 AA PA his OPS is .742.  .661 this season.  

He's letting the ball travel more now and looks more balanced. That's the guy we saw last year. I think his lack of offseason due to the bone chips hurt his start and then he pressed a bit. 

Now the confidence is back, he's catching, and all is right in the world! ;)

Did you read that somewhere or just speculating?

Sorry, just speculating. That looked bad. What a tough break (no pun intended) if it’s as bad as it looked.

    • Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.
    • Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.
    • i think we all are going to have ptsd from that 9th inning for a while,it was that brutally bad . they need to do some special to get us to forget about it
    • wow,did gunnar and adley have to do this last season? 
    • I suggested that earlier but I think it's probably a bad play with no out. The O's have like 85% probability of scoring. There is a huge downside risk of Mullins popping up the bunt for a double play. He could also whiff on the bunt making at least Holliday an easy out. With one out and only 65% probability of scoring it's a much better play. I think if Santander and Mullins were reversed in the lineup Hyde may have done it but not when you have two shots to get the run in. 
    • WE GOT US ONE - JD5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • Completely disagree about Orr. He will be fine. His defense has been better in its first few games compared to McDonald’s first few games.     And some of these big passing stats are over exaggerated. There have been mistakes for sure.
