I think he'd have done really, really well here if the hip didn't give out.  Outside of not making the Glenn Davis trade, one of the bigger "What ifs?" in club history.

I don't think the early 2000s teams would have been much better, but he would have been great to watch.

I remember watching that game.  I think he got HBP and didn't want to go down to 1st because he wanted a chance to hit his 4th HR of the day. 

Anyways he was great player, a beast when he was healthy.   Such a shame about the hip.

I remember after the game, he did a rare press conference and went after Sun reporter Joe Strauss. 


A friend of mine, Farshad Homayoun, would defend every stupid thing Belle did. He looked like such a jerk when the hip caused Belle to leave the team.

Were those like 90s City Connect jerseys lol? I don’t remember those at all.

Pretty much.  They did a dumb thing one day in the late 90s where they had these futuristic jerseys, a mock-up of what they thought baseball teams would wear in the future.

They only lasted for a game, or maybe a series.  None of them were good, ours were better than most but I think the Mariners were the absolute worst.

Man, the Mets one is terrible.  Is that a female gender symbol on Hershiser?  

Compared to some of the City Connects I've seen, I don't mind the Rockies and Giants jerseys.  

The Mariners jersey is as bad as I remember it.

It's the planet symbol for Mercury. No idea what that has to do with the Metropolitans.

      Colton Cowser 2024

      By SemperFi · Posted

      In continuance of the discussion in the Bradisch thread re: Cowser as an "elite" OF: I think as the game slows for him he will be an plus defender in LF, hopefully with the Orioles.  However I argued his arm is not yet reliable and while there are little or no stats available that measure accuracy (as opposed to velocity) Savant places him around ~90th among OF's for the most important stat-advance attempts-far behind Hays whose arm is much more respected at #10, Tony and even Mullins "noodle arm" rate much higher.  https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/baserunning?type=Fld&sortColumn=rate_safe&sortDirection=asc  In each of the measurable arm metrics (other than velocity) he is far from "elite".  For advances/attempts to advance above average/succesful advances he is around ~90 in MLB and last among Orioles OF. When you juxtapose Hays's numbers onto CC one thing is evident-Hays has a well earned rep and guys generally don't run on him-guys at this point don't respect CC's arm.

      I suspect it's because Urias has been hitting much better. I think Westburg/Mateo is better defensively, but it's not a big gap. Good chance this will be a close, low-scoring game. I like having Mateo on the bench in a close game so he can create a run, and some havoc, as a pinch-runner (especially when Mullins is in the starting lineup). Though it doesn't show in the boxscore, his feints from first base were a big factor yesterday.

      Without doing any research this has been a feeling I have had too.    It is almost like the bats are trained for world class competition but when .475 clubs throw today's Joe Saunderses it can mess up the calibration. Throwing Cody Bradford and Andrew Heaney against the Orioles lineup probably isn't a sustainable October strategy. The hitting pitching balance Elias has kept so far, I agree it is more on Gunnar and Adley to lead the group beating the world's best pitchers. I hope Gunnar gets a Strahm rematch today after yesterday's first ball hack.    If the World Series is 7 close games, Gunnar probably sees Strahm 4-5 times.

      “Preferred catcher” then. Would have been insanity to start McCann today.

      Can Cook be a serviceable utility guy at the ML level?  His offensive numbers are better at Triple-A than in previous minor league seasons.

      Because it’s a RHP, Urias has been hitting well and Mateo offers speed off the bench if needed in late innings.
