Of course it figures we hit all of those balls we thought were going out and they somehow manage to find the shortest area of the ballpark.

It's saying here 400-foot HR. That's not a cheap one.

Dean is fine as a number 5 but his stuff just doesn’t play well against lineups that aren’t brutal. He has 25 BB’s and 48 K’s against teams other than Seattle and LAA. That’s pretty bad.

    • The second one.  Or stopped at a red light and only put their blinker on when the light turns green.  Or swing out to the right to make a left turn.   
    • For me it’s people who don’t know how to drive in a roundabout. Country bumpkins. 
    • Stanley said the rule was enforced differently than how it was explained to them by the refs that they had at OTA's. This seems like one of those rules that the refs go way overboard with flags in week 1 and then you rarely see it the rest of the year.
    • He probably had 2+ weeks against live pitching in Florida and now 3 weeks against A and A + pitching.   It’s possible that it’s just rust and timing.   Didn’t seem to effect Anderson, Stafford, Overn, and O’Ferrall that much who all pretty much hit right away in Delmarva.    
    • Honeycutt only struck out 20% his sophomore year but he also hit .257 with 12 homers.  But, at least we know he made adjustments in college and tried to make more contact before reverting back to what worked better for him in college. I don’t think his performance is a “nothing burger”.    It might not be the worst thing though.  I would suspect that Honeycutt might be more open to making whatever changes the Orioles hitting instructors have in mind. I do think, even this fairly SSS is further confirmation that Honeycutt needs some pretty significant swing/setup/approach changes that some evaluators were suggesting pre-draft.
    • Think Stanley was called for FOUR illegal formation penalties? Ravens need to figure this out.  Either Stanley is real bad at his job or the refs are real bad at theirs.   Or coaching or all of the above.
    • At the time of the trade, I’d agree with your description of Johnson and Chace.    It’s kind of scary how each was promoted and put up really good numbers (SSS) at the next level after the trade.  Each, are among the few pitching prospects we have in the upper minors that actually sit mid 90’s. My fear is that in hindsight this trade is going to look a lot, lot worse than it did at the deadline.
