Agree, but Gunnar could have eaten that and kept it first and second.

In three years Gunnar will eat it.  Now he is trying to figure out if he is spiderman or Superman.

I wonder if Manoah ever makes it back.  I am very curious how he reacts to this tough news on his arm.  

Probably buys a  six pack and blames someone else.

If you can't make the throw put it in your pocket. How many errors does he have? How many are throwing errors? He broke a guys face last year.

That wasn’t a routine throw though. That’s not the yips. Yips are, like, not being able to make the simplest of throws. Steve Sax had the yips. Chuck Knoblauch had the yips. The catcher in Major League 2 had the yips and recited the Victoria’s Secret catalog to calm himself before making throws in order to get over it.

He has made that play plenty of times this year.  The throw wasn’t that much off line. Mounty needed to come off the bag.

He's done that on routine plays as well, in fact, he seems to do it more when he has more time.

No doubt. He gets to many balls that surprise me. His maturation at the position will be a process.

    • Making some changes on the biz end of things.  Sounds like Bader is gone from his role too..which is great because he’s awful.
    • I love the wall. Love it. I think every Major League ballpark should have dimensions like that. By and large teams build parks with much smaller dimensions than a century ago, despite the players being dramatically bigger, stronger, faster athletes. It makes no sense. The game would be improved with much larger outfields. It would emphasize speed and athleticism over endless lineups of slow sluggers.
    • Yes, so hes a FA, the Discussion should now turn to what Elias or anybody else might offer next year. and it's tough because at 34 he's almost a one year wonder. But I do know this our season came back from trouble all year and Big Al was there to help many times. 
    • We all know you think you're passionate about your team and your ideas. but the way you continually insult people whose ideas you don't agree with, or who disagree with you, is incredibly childish.   It's a form of cyber-bullying.   I'd like to think you're better than that, and wonder why more people don't call you out on it.  Maybe they know it won't change anything? Is it not possible to disagree without having to insult either the person or their thoughts?  I know it's hard to self-reflect and realize that you constantly do this, and maybe make a change for the better, but I kind of expect some insults are now headed my way for trying to make this place a bit less hostile.  
    • We'll see Rubenstein talks a good game, but actions speak louder than words. Also it's on Elias to be willing to make a splash if the right (but also pricey) player become available and wants to be an Oriole. I was never big on an Adley extension even last year with the way catchers age. Gunnar is a player you absolutely lock up to an early contact extension assuming he is even open to it.
    • I think for almost all owners payroll matters more than winning. Even teams like the Yankees are careful with how they go into penalty.
    • For sure. That's why the Hyde quote implies he is a free agent.
