Just got this ad on the ‘gram a minute or so ago. Made me laugh cause, y’know, everyone’s favorite Mr warm and fuzzies.

This 1st inning is a  perfect example of how important defense is to define the outcome of a game. Cedric makes an amazing play to get the Orioles up to bat, then the Twins make an error that allows the Orioles to continue to get more At Bats and score 2 runs.

So the game description on mlb.com says that one player “flies out sharply to Cedric Mullins” and another player “lines out sharply to Cedric Mullins”
I’m not sure how that works, but I’ll take it.

I see Holliday as the eventual leadoff hitter for this team...Henderson is a #2 hitter

Holliday and Henderson back to back? Wouldn’t that make it easy for an opponent to play matchup late in games? Wouldn’t it make more sense to go Holliday, Rutchsman, and then Henderson?

I wouldn't even mind if Mullins can regain the stick he had when he was a 30/30 and get back into that leadoff role.

The way Westburg keeps hitting, he might be an option in the top couple spots if they need a right hander. He's got some good speed too.

      You are the one who made the outlandish statements that JH could squat 800 pounds and the Williams sisters are the Tiger Woods of their era just because their dad trained them that way. The Williams sisters were good because they overpowered their female counterparts due to the fact that they were bigger, stronger, faster. And we all know why but I will leave that unsaid.  But needless to say it would be like a 20 year old male playing against a 15 year old male when it comes to them. But in no way shape or form were they more talented female tennis players of all time.  And this is what I am saying about JH despite your obvious bias.  I want JH to be a superstar.  Best player ever.   But I really think he had a huge advantage compared to other kids his age because he was groomed, for lack of a better word, to be a baseball player.   He is obviously a good athlete.  I just dont see elite.  Therefore I think his ceiling is limited.    But in no way do I see elite from him.  In fact his younger brother looks way more athletic to me.    In fact based off this year if you can trade him for a top pitcher?  I absolutely would.

      What are we fixing?  The bullpen isn’t broken it is very solid and has been most the year minus about a 10 game stretch.  Could we use another back end guy sure but that is more reinforcements than fixing something.   The Orioles bullpen.   Webb  1.05 whip 1.72 ERA Suarez 1.05 whip 1.61 ERA Cano 1.22 whip 2.37 ERA Coulombe .62 whip 2.42 ERA Kimbrell .95 whip 2.59 ERA Tate 1.23 whip 2.45 ERA Perez 1.13 whip 3.86 ERA Aiken 1.19 whip 4.13 ERA.     They will add another high leverage guy to replace Aiken most likely and depending on Coulombe injury maybe another lefty but for everyone expecting a huge turnover you are gonna be disappointed because the guys we have are just as good as the guys who will be available.

      My Dad still makes me go to the field every day to work on fielding hitting and throwing. Says I need to hustle like Pete if I’m gonna be better than the next guy. I love it and work just as hard as I can. Then do extra later.    I have BP 325 DL 600. And when I bowl, the Turkeys Fly!!!! I don’t understand why I haven’t made it yet. It’s because my wife isn’t hot enough isn’t it? Or maybe it’s that I need to hustle like Pete did in the 1970 All Star game, not “hustle” like Pete is today.

      Are we worried about MLB-worst walk rate?

      By Hallas · Posted

      Rutschman is probably the poster child for our increasingly free-swinging ways.  There was a little blurb in Dan Szymborski's chat regarding his free swinging ways, and Dan felt like it was a conscious decision to swing at more marginal pitches.  I took a more careful look at the swing/take data and I think the data does support that, and I think Rutschman is overall a bit more valuable swinging away at marginal pitches.   You can see the change in his swing decisions on pitches in the shadow zone.  He's actually making solid contact with these pitches at a high enough rate that it's been worth it to lose some plate discipline.

      So you can post things about me like "Please stop talking about you.  No one gives a f*** about anything to do with your life, your bowling ball, your wife or anything else you try to pat yourself on the back about.  Your life is meaningless to the rest of us.".   And you said how dumb I am.  When I hadn't mentioned ANY of that in the post that you were responding to. Nothing.    I was talking about ORIOLES.  But I can't reply to any of that?  I never get personal until I am got personal with. You went there. I will tell you what....sports guy.  Post your pic.  Any pic. I will post mine....and I have...it is right in my avi. Because I know exactly what you look like. My guess is that you never will.   And we all know why.
