Monday afternoon May 27, 2024 - Os vs RedSox

[Malike]

Sorry, Otter. If they are going to find a video of when he was throwing the ball well, they're going to be looking for a needle in a haystack.

Do we think Vierra will pitch for us again?

Hopefully for FCL or DSL.

Has there ever been a less accurate arm than Cowser?

Did you just watch the new guy walk the bases loaded

Right and how has he mishandled Adley, Gunnar, Westy and Cowser? Just because he didn't bring them up fast enough? Look at what happened with Holliday.

There are some posters @Brooks The Great and @oriolediehard that just jump on ANYTHING that doesn’t go 100% well with Mike Elias.  I guess they are trying to get under everyone’s skin and it works. Still pisses me off.

I recommend the ignore function on this board. I have one of them already on it. Might need to do the other.

Gunnar and Adley were handled appropriately, Cowser and Westburg were absolutely not. Both Cowser and Westburg were platooned and weren't given a fair shot to play every day, which hurt their development and prevented the team from optimizing the lineup for the playoffs. 

Joey Ortiz was badly mishandled as well, and what he's shown in Milwaukee is a reflection of that.

So you would fire Mike Elias?

I think I might rather see Chris Davis pitching against the Red Sox next time the Orioles have an 11-run lead.

They're still paying him, aren't they?

There is a delicate balance of breaking in rookies on a 100-win team. Brooks the Great would certainly be a better choice to do that than Hyde. He's got it all figured out.

I have no idea how to pronounce Thyago Vieira, but something tells me I won't need to learn.

It's pronounced "pitched for us for fifteen minutes so that Elias could pick up another 19 year old pitcher in the trade."  I know it doesn't look like it's spelled anything like that, so it's really tricky.

I want a guy with an arm like this.

 

I saw that, heck of a throw. Unfortunately he is a .700 hitter in Japan. 

If Rubenstein wants to make a big splash he would sign this Roki kid. Supposedly better than Yama and only 2020.

I think he has  potential. Might be a good AA pitcher some day.

Yeah, I was more interested in a guy with a hose like that. I mean the title said laser beam and it still shocked me.

Are we really going to have to use another RP?

Good guys win.
