I saw Leo Kortney do a solo performance. Not only is he an amazing guitarist, but he is hilarious.

A lot of musicians hate flying. because unlike you, they’ve read what happens to a lot of musicians that have fly!
 

 

See: Stevie Ray Vaughan, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Randy Rhodes, the big bopper, Richie Valens. 
And now that I think about it, lots of bands travel by driving.

 

 

Better luck next time.

With respect, I have no idea what that meant. I don’t “have fly,” but I think I’m ok with that.

I was defending you, btw.

Plenty die in car/bus crashes as well.

Probably a grammar error? Sorry

I hate flying. I know flying is probably safer than driving and plenty of musicians have died in car crashes.

Maybe higher ceiling than Garrett Stalkings though?

Remember, “the trouble with Tribbles.”?

Chekov is wanting to buy a Tribble from Mr. Mudd, and during the negotiation, he says, “OK, I’ll double my offer.” To which the reply is, “twice nothing is still nothing.”

That comment probably applies here

I'm questioning my life priorities after reading all 17 pages of this thread.  Sitting in the office on a holiday weekend reading through this when I could be hanging at SG's barbeque instead.

Absolute nothing move in the middle of the season that teams make all the time, the 20 year old rookie ball pitcher looks somewhat intriguing.

My guess is he’s not a hard thrower but at that age you never know.

Because we don’t need to be. We make hot chicks swoon with our carefully selected notes, and good looks. Haven’t you read anything about  rockstars? 

 

By the way, is this kind of a projection? Seems to be! 🤣

As long as you make yourself laugh that’s all that counts.

I sometimes wonder, as the O's get better, this site goes in the opposite direction. Symmetry I assume. Talkin Baseball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? And they say an Old Dog can't learn new stuff. OH - how I continue to learn and stay informed.

    • I don’t think he’s trading those guys for a RP even if he’s controlled. I could see them adding a legit bat or a SP that’s controllable. 
    • 2022 Aberdeen - .221/.298/421.    31.8% K rate  7.7% BB rate 2023 Bowie - .251/.320/.456.         24.9% K rate  8.3% BB rate 2024 Norfolk - .296/.396/.486.       19.3% K rate  12.2% BB rate  
    • I’m going to preface this by saying (1) I expect to get crushed for bringing it up and (2) it shouldn’t impact trade deadline strategy.     I think Felix is going to pitch in the playoffs. There is nothing I have to go on other than gut feeling, in fact Elias has clearly stated otherwise. But I think that is what he is shooting for. I bring it up only on the premise of having a guy in the bullpen who could miss bats.  They could have him be a situational guy and leave Kimbrel where he is for this season. 
    • For Norfolk, Cook has started 29 games at 1B with a .996 fpct. and 5 games each at LF, CF, RF.   He started one game at 3B and made an error and at lower levels played a decent amount of 2B.   I think he’s probably an emergency/last resort guy at 2B/3B and @Tony-OH seems skeptical of his outfield defense in general.  Saying all that, with a LH heavy hitting OF he has a decent shot as soon as next year, especially if Norby gets moved.  Norby, with the ability to play LF/RF/2B would probably be his chief competitor for a backup role.  Also depends on what they do with Hays.
    • Your definition of what we need and @Bemorewins definiton of what we need may be different.    Getting a #3 starter he feels confident as a game #3 starter in the playoffs.   Who, in his mind, is that pitcher?   Fedde will not require one of those guys.  Crochet might.
    • 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?
