Tommy Pham is 36, not a good defender, but he has positive WAR, and hits very well, he could almost certainly be had pretty cheap and I would much rather have him then one of the waiver guys Mike seems to bring in like Brett Phillips

For the record, I don’t want to bring in an outfielder from outside the organization, but that’s what Mike seems to like doing. Given that, I wouldn’t mind watching us get Pham.

Funny the history of the word retarded is a 1950's version of PC.  It was to make people not use words like moron or idiot.  Then real life happened and kids in the 50's through the 80's used it any w

I can!  Me in the cage in '80 during offseason in high school.  And I have a knuckleball if needed in blowout games. More recent.

Again, Pham has a reputation of being a douchebag.

Hasn’t he hit us pretty well in his career? Or no?

Apparently, he's a huge douche, but I dunno. Didn't he try to fight a coach in the dugout?

I know he got stabbed a few years ago.

Not that that makes you a bad person.

Yes, this happened. But a couple posters here saw him have a couple good at bats so let's go get him! 🤡

He slapped Joc Pederson over fantasy football.

I remember reading every fanbase who's team he's ever played for hates him, but I haven't seen him much. I just keep reading he's a psycho.

      The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.

      How much different? They sat Judge yesterday, they threw their playoff starters for 5+ innings yesterday and today. They are also playing for the best record in the AL. They aren't mailing it in.

      2024 Playoff ticket availability

      By KojiSplit · Posted

      It’s not just the O’s. I’ve checked the Dodgers who have similar prices and they have a lot of upper deck NLDS games 2 & 3 available. Same for the NLCS. yanks still have seats available also. — In general, I’m sure alot of fans are just gonna wait till the day of to grab tickets.

      That makes no sense. If they had to win their current series would have looked much different.

      I agree. You have to wonder if the Yankees are behind him getting hit. Perhaps the ghost of George has struck
