Sept 15 vs Tigers — which Cade Povich will we get today?

[MDK02]

Atleast Jackson put the ball in play. Good for him. He should be ranked no earlier than #75 in prospects.

Our 1-1 pick has a long way to go to be an above average major leaguer.  Will he get there?

No. Will he even be average is the real question.

So you didn’t see this graphic yesterday? What the Os did in April-June is the only reason they’re still in the hunt, given what’s happened since then. 

Mind you- this is with two monster games vs the White Sox. I bet we are dead last without that.

He wouldn't have hit like that on any team, the Yankees seem to bring out the best in players.

I think we just notice more when a guy improves and not when they don't.

I have posted the #4 thing in jest for several games in a row now, for the people that cite that stat not in jest. I have called the Orioles offense fools gold since even into June when we were just masked by a bunch of homers, but still not a consistent offense.

Great to see all our hyped young talent doing so well. And it's a relief to know that it's nobody's fault -- just injuries, bad luck, and one of those things. 

Nice job by Povich, though.

So who would you have at #72?

It is because he put on the same uniform that Ruth Gehrig, Mantle, DiMaggio put, that is what lit him up!!!

Really? Take a look at the NYYs' 2024 payroll, with names like Hicks, Donaldson, Davis, Leiter and Rizzo.

Only speaking for myself here but I'm ready for this season to just be done with at this point. Such a disappointment. Offense no show again

Of course I have no experience past high school ball, but some MLB hitters just don’t seem agressive and their AVG shows it.   The O’s have two active players above .250: Gunner and Adley.   The rest cannot hit enough homers to make up for their low batting average.
