Another scoreless outing for Patton tonight. I think it's becoming clear that we'll see him up here at some point this season.

Would he even benefit at all by having some time at AAA first? He has ML innings under his belt already anyway.

Thorne said that pop up should have been caught. All I know is those are some awfully strong words for someone who probably hasn't been in Nick's or Brian's position much in their life. That play was really, really hard. There was no opportunity for thought or can I catch it or slowing down. That ball falls almost every time IMO.

I could be wrong, but it looked like Markakis got a late break on that pop-up. I thought it was catchable.

I found it really interesting that DT put Ray in here rather than Walker. He has zero confidence in Walker IMO.

You and I are on the same wavelength on this one.

You guys are all over Ray, but he gave up a pop up that was so poorly hit that it couldn't be run under, a sac bunt, a throwing error, and a hard single to a guy that is a batting champion. He then made a good pitch to Morneau on 2-0 to jam him for a pop fly. I just don't see a lot of get upset about. This is baseball. We sure are awfully hard on guys on this board these days IMO.
They're all line drives on GameDay!

Well not really, the first was a single on a popup. How the hell do you single on a popup to 2B?

Walker is just this side of useless at this point. I like the guy, but man was I dead wrong about his signing three years ago. RZNJ dominated me on that one.

In the interest of full disclosure, I also advocated the signing.

***but not for 3 years :eek:

      Offense is down in MLB this year — but not in Baltimore

      By Frobby · Posted

      This is probably as close to clicking on all cylinders as most teams get.  In any given 24-game period, some guys will be up and others down.  We have 9 players with an OPS+ of 116 or higher.  The four guys you mentioned will have hotter periods, and someone else will be cold then.  That’s baseball.  But the ratio of hot players to cold ones is really good right now.

      2024 NFL Draft Discussion

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      I don’t see it.  Project guy.  Good upside but can’t see that in the first round. I think they go corner with the first pick unless someone unexpectedly drops. The assumption has been Oline but I think the draft is so deep and so many teams will be taking tackles that the Ravens will elect to wait until later in the draft to get Oline and WR help. Its not a deep corner draft, so getting one early makes sense. If they trade up, I wouldn’t think they trade anything higher than a 4th..could move up 3-6 spots. Trade back will likely get them a pick for next year.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Gunnar is our Kyle Tucker but at a more premium position.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      I said Gunnar earlier. Before this season, I could have seen a case for Adley.  And I love Adley, great hitter (I don't think he's ever going to be a big power guy, but plate approach, contact, key hits, he's great) leader, heart and soul, etc.   But it's clearly Gunnar.  I didn't expect him to be this good, this fast.  He's separating himself from the rest of the pack, not only on this team but throughout the league. Whether or not an extension can happen is a different story altogether.  But Gunnar's the guy I'd go with first.

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By DirtyBird · Posted

      It is early, but the O's have some clear holes that will prevent a World Series run this season. And it looks like there are some teams playing there way out of contention already, barring a massive improvement in performance, making them likely sellers. At a quick glance, here are the teams that already could be looking to sell at the deadline. Some teams on the list made some offseason moves that signaled they are looking to compete. But early returns aren't looking good, and now they have an old team with pieces someone may find helpful, and without much talent in the pipeline. Tier 1 Losers Rockies White Sox Marlins Tier 2  - Not Looking Good Oakland Giants Angels Astros Cardinals Nationals I haven't really taken much look at the rosters to see what pieces could help us. So, who is selling? And Which of their pitchers have a chance to be on the market?

      By Bahama O's Fan · Posted

      I still feel like our offense isn't clicking on all cylinders yet. Santander has been down, Adley hasn't found alot of extra base power, Holliday has been a black hole so far, Hays was bad and now injured, Urias hasn't hit well.

      Angels series 4/22-24

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      It should be noted that it was the 8-9 hitters up at the time of that call.  So while it was the wrong call, its not like the Angels definitely tie it if he's called safe.  There is a very good chance Rengifo makes an out a pitch or two later anyway. So yes, bad call, but we didn't steal the game away because of that one call.
