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.

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.

That was 2 years ago when he brought in Philips as a throw in to the trade. The minor leaguers have developed much more since then and there's not enough room for them all as it is.  He's trying to figure out who has developed and will stick at the MLB level. 

As for Hicks, that was due to a Mullins injury and Hicka just happened to be a switch hitting Centerfielder (better than any CF we had) that became available at the right time of need.

Timing is everything in this world.

Hays is an automatic out!

Just to reiterate something I posted on the first page of this thread, Hays came into today hitting .318 with a 45% hard hit rate since coming back from injury. 

He’s looked helpless today, but…so have most of them 🤷🏻‍♂️

Speaking of Joc Pedersen and Andrew Benintendi, both those guys were high on the MSAN podcast free agentist of candidates after the 2022 season. For some reason the 2 guys in the podcast thought the Orioles might persue them for the 2023 season.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Filmstudy · Posted

      Holliday went 1 for 2 with 3 walks on Friday night. 2024: .444 OBP, .911 OPS MiLB Career: .447 OBP, .931 OPS His OBP is EXACTLY what this O's team needs, would fill a key offensive weakness at 2nd base, help grind opposing pitching, and magnify the power up and down the lineup.  It's all dependent on his ability to throw and play 2B at a passable level. If Holliday starts to hit at the ML level, the question of who bats leadoff is over for the foreseeable future and we can go back to complaining about 1 slumping hitter or backup catcher at the bottom of the lineup.

      This. We literally have no lineup holes right now, and Mayo, Norby, Jax lurk. Any trade discussion should center around the four most essential and crucial elements to O's success for the balance of the regular season and playoffs: 1. pitching 2. pitching 3. pitching 4. damn, forgot the 4th one. oh yeah, its pitching.

      All I know is that Suárez has earned at least one more start, after today.

      Scherzer still looks like a guy who would be a nice add to our rotation in the second half if the Rangers are sellers.

      Not happening. I don’t disagree, but Kremer will be slotted in the rotation.

      I wouldn’t either but the word here is that he’s going back to rotation . Suarez supposedly the one  to be moved to bullpen . I think they should wait and see if Irvin can rebound . If Irvin can’t match Suarez’s work, then he should be moved to bullpen

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      Yes that’s what I was asking. COC was completely off base in his comment. Judge is a great player, and apparently a nice guy. I have nothing against him, or most Yankees, for that matter, though Gil’s tats are off putting. I am expecting a bit of pro Yankee bias, but that’s ok. Also, home runs is a very glittery stat, and might sway some folks. But it should be Gunnar, at least based on the first 81.
