Wouldn’t count on it. He’s a 20-25 guy. But if he hits .275 that’s beautiful 

He's on pace for 14 this season.  I don't think he'll end there, but it'd be nice to see him around 25. Right now his high is 20.

I still don't understand how Cano gave up a homer but it wasn't a barreled ball. Was an ITTP HR or a pesky pole?

A barrel is dependent on both EV and launch angle, and the range of acceptable launch angles is dependent on how hard it's hit.  He gave up a HR against the Brewers that barely cleared the 373 sign, and the EV was 99 MPH and the angle was 36.  The range of acceptable launch angles for a 99 MPH batted ball is 25-31.

Posting LIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE from Angels stadium behind the O's dugout with my wife. 

Lots of O's fans here.

Weather is great here in S Cal.....as usual.

Kremer looked in control and very calm.

Gunnar LOVES this stadium. I saw him here last year for 2 games and this year....and he has raked.  He looks like a CA guy and plays like one.

JH looks like a little kid when I saw him warming up and on the steps of the dugout during the game.   Machado did as well when I first saw him his first full year here, but he seemed 'older'.   His body was filled out more.  

I love Anaheim, the weather, the restaurants, the pretty (Asian) girls, and most of all the O's winning.

Let's hope they hold on.

Only negative is there are not nearly as many fans here, especially Asian, since Ohtani move to LA.

    • We do not have to give up Holliday, Basallo, or Mayo to get what we need.
    • So you think Elias will give up one of the top 3 prospects to get upgrades?
    • “Dramatics”? That’s an interesting way of framing my opinion. I promise you I am as calm and cool as a cucumber. There’s no “dramatics” going on here. As you know, numbers fluctuate during any given period of time in the season. Good/great players have bad/cold stretches and bad/terrible players have good stretches. IMO we do not possess the type of top end talent at the back end of the bullpen needed to win multiple rounds against the best opposition in October.  If you are confident in Cano/Kimbrel or worse in Vespi/Baker/Perez/etc getting Soto and Judge out in a big spot late in the game in Yankee stadium in October, that is fine. I am not.  Just as an observer of baseball, Holmes is a much better pitcher than any reliever that we have. I would be much more confident in his talent than any reliever that we have. Now if we had Felix that would be one thing. But this season we do not. And I would hate for a team as good as ours to be held back by not making the needed/necessary move(s) before we get into October.  IMO we did that last season (with the starting pitching) and it didn’t end well. And I acknowledge that everybody doesn’t think like me nor have the same championship expectations/aspirations. Some fans/posters here have stated as much and that they are happy if we have a winning team year after year or if we just make it into the tournament year after year, regardless of results when we get there. And that’s fine. That’s just not my desired outcome. The great thing about this board is that we don’t have to agree and are able to express our opinions.
    • That’s right. Great times are here and more ahead with this group. 
    • Over/under on the number of times we walk Judge and Soto in this series?   10?  Nobody else really worries me.  
    • 2 days in a row we got some help from the RedSox
