If he is hitting 200 going into May and showing little power, people on here will talk about sophomore slumps, flukes, et al....Anyone who has been around here for a while should know that.

You right SG there will be those people and then there will be those saying we should trade him for whatever we can get before his value goes to nothing. However I doubt he proves anything other than he is a great player.

You mean knee-jerk reactionary posts? Heavens no! Not on the OH!

;)

I think all of us have a worry of a sophomore slump in the back of our minds, though.

I like Cindy's agreement today with Tony's post from 4-20-06.

That said, I think Markakis's slow start last year has immunized us (& him) a bit from worrying about any slow start this year. There's not much to point to him as being a fluke...his steady progression through the minors shows an adaptive, improving ballplayer.

      Agreed, his defense has been way better than expected. He's still probably a starting OF as long as Mullins and Hays struggle. And if he lands at .763 overall I would be fine with that level of production. Still disappointing that he followed up his 1.000 April with a .600 May. June could be a big month for him. Otherwise we may see more Hays vs LHP or even Kjerstad.

      Mayo coming back from injury could have his debut in Baltimore delayed.

      Wasn't a huge fan of his swing for that last out today but coming in to pinch hit with 2 outs isn't easy.

      Interpreting Malike's comment that way is theoretically possible, but I didn't take it that way--didn't feel that shade was being thrown on me at all. But thanks for the concern.

      People are being a bit ridiculous with the holier than thou takes criticizing a little humor. I am not saying what happened couldn’t cause a significant concussion, but it would be a bit of a fluke if it did. Mullins barely hit him with the bat and he had a helmet on. The fact that it was in the back of the head did make him more vulnerable, but this wasn’t the type of thing you see and think he was lucky to be alive.  Guys have probably hit their heads harder on the top of the dugout or on the fence making catches.  And note this comes from someone whose son has suffered severe concussions and who is well aware of the dangers associated with them. In short, people need to lighten up a bit on guys like Roy.  It was a little gallows humor.

      Yeah, you read that wrong. LA2 is one of my favorite posters here and he knows it. No harm, no foul. If you aren't familiar with the game threads, it doesn't matter what the team is doing, people complain about it and people did make that same joke in the game thread long before Roy said it here. Game thread in summary - when the O's are not doing well, it's insufferable, when they are doing well, it's mildly less insufferable. There, that wasn't hard. I'd appreciate it if you didn't assume I'm throwing shade at people. I'll leave that up to you to do, you're really good at it.
