Someone posted a pic the other day showing all of his seasons and how many HRs he would have hit had he played in each park. It was from Baseball Savant, but I can't seem to find it.

That is just looking at the park configuration and where he has hit the ball.

It doesn't factor in things like the batter's eye and an unrelenting hatred of poutine.

It doesn't matter, we will never catch the Yankees, Russo said on his show today they will run away with the division. That guy knows a thing or two. 🙄

How long can a guy 6'7" that weighs 260 pounds continue to catch up to major league pitching.  I keep thinking Judge is going to start to decline but he seems to just get better every year.   Those long limbs have to be a liability at some point,  don't they?

I think the issue is going to be the legs breaking down.

He'll be possessed by the spirits of Yankees past and probably play until he's 45.

Lord it would be amazing if he was like Molitor.  He was such a tough out for those Blue Jays teams. 

And Brewers. 
 

3rd base, lot of hits, little bit of pop, plays hard. That’s about as far as I thought it through.

And the Twins.

If Westberg is a 3,000 career hit HOF player,  I would be okay with that.

    • This times 1000.   A five game losing streak where we’ve lost exactly 1.5 games in the standings, by the way. You would think we were suddenly ten games behind the Yankees (who’s asses we just finished kicking five days ago) with the way people act.    Good time for an OH vacation for me because the flop sweat around here is flooding the place. 
    • I don't know if anyone is questioning if the Orioles will still qualify for the postseason after this recent rough stretch. However, the concern that I am seeing/reading/hearing is that once October begins, we don't have the kind of pitching talent necessary to go deep into the Fall by winning multiple rounds against teams who have better pitching talent. 
    • I believe this is truly the "all in " year...not next year or the year after. After this year, it's conceivable we could lose Burnes, and Santander, and that would mean two of the best and(among) the most important players on the team. No Burnes(he'll command at least 30 million a year and likely more) would maybe give us ONE solid pitcher in Grod, and our outfield will be in flux. No, I think THIS is the year the Orioles have to win, and that means some dramatic, possibly risky trades at the break yield some significant upgrades to our beleaguered pitching both with starters and the pen. If we don't get it this year, we may never have a potential post season team in the next couple of years..not at this rate.
    • Luke Dickerson, SS, Morris Knolls HS, Rockaway, N.J. There are shades of Jackson Merrill and Sammy Stafura with Dickerson as a northeast/mid-atlantic prep shortstop who has received a lot of late helium this spring. He’s an offense-oriented righthanded hitter with a background as a talented hockey player. He might fit better at second base or center field, but teams like his hit/power combination enough to take him inside the first two rounds. He had a solid showing at the draft combine last week, as well. 
    • As the bluejays continue to fade, I cant help but think that they would be a trade fit if they decide to sell.  Specifically Gausman and Berrios. Gausman is under contract for 2 seasons after this one, and Berrios has 4 years with an opt out after 2 years. So you would essentially have both of those guys for 2.5 years which would be a big boost for 2024, and the coming years with Burnes likely gone and Bradish out for 2025. They are both on hefty contracts (for Orioles standards) but with our payroll and new ownership group you would think that wouldnt be a huge problem. Not sure what the asking price would be for one of, or both, of those guys but worth looking into. I know its hard to look at trading within the division, especially what would potentially be a "blockbuster" type of  deal but I just dont see a ton of options on the trade market right now outside of the White Sox, A's and Rockies and none of those teams can match what the bluejays have to offer.
    • He was all of that yes, but nothing close to Gunner so far or Cal's best year, and you also forgot about Eddie. not to mention Palmer in the 70,s
