Three RBI Homer Major Leaguer Cup of Coffee

The O's are going to take Wheeler, IMO.

Especially if things play out this way.

From everything I've read, it sounds like the O's might have Wheeler third on their board behind Stras and Ackley.

As long as Kyle Gibson is no where to be found on that board, Im ok.

I'm a big fan and hope the Orioles do select White. My choices for the Orioles are Crow, Matzek and White. I'd be happy with any of the three.

Really? I think Miller and Wheeler have the same tools right now and they are much younger with some ceiling left.

His slider just hasn't been the pitch it used to be, and without that to play off the sinker, I think he's doomed. Moran has impressed me much more at UNC.

Stinks for me, because I am really not a fan of Wheeler's mechanics. I think they are so bad that they will take a long while to fix, which can really damage the shot that he hits his prospect status and reaches his potential.

That is scary. Some guys never get the mechanics fixed.

I think those mechanics actually help him. That 3/4 arm slot makes him sick against righties. I've never really seen any concerns about them, wish Lier was around to peek. I'll ask Stotle later.

He reminds me a lot of Arrieta. I think he has some mechanical issues that need to be worked out, but once they are I think he'll be lights out.

I will pick him up myself from the airport if they get him in the 2nd.

ehh i might be alright with it if he drops to the 2nd round. In my mind he project no more than a middle of the rotation guy with an 88 mph fastball. He also got injured and cannot pitch for 6 weeks, stress fracture in wrist.

      Felix Bautista 2024 (Monitoring his injury rehab)

      By OnlyOneOriole · Posted

      I would agree.  Not sure if he can pitch this season or not (probably not), but the way they do that surgery now along with the healing powers of platelet injections?    A pitcher can be back throwing and almost 100% within 8 months.  I have the exact same injury as Felix along with a bone chip in my right elbow and I was told if I have the surgery I will feel basically brand new after 6-8 months.   Granted I am not trying to throw 95 MPH 8 months later.

      Are we actually 27-14 with the highest runs/game in the AL?

      By Explosivo · Posted

      Ding ding ding. It’s the crab pot mentality. Most will drag you back to the bottom rather than allow others to climb out to freedom. It’s the old misery loves company.   Sadly for my Orioles fans, they have used this misery as a warm blanket and have even rationalized their sorrow by way of linking up with other sorrowful fans. It’s a sort of companionship in misery. Suddenly the orioles start to do well, as if this wasn’t the plan by Elias all along, and many orioles fans are still clinging to their long held beliefs that the shoe will drop, that the end is nigh, and that success will all come crashing down.   After all, failure is what they have grown accustomed to, it’s all they know, their world is an abject failure, so when the team they love suddenly starts doing well…they have no idea what to do. They lash out. They find fault where there is none, and their extreme uncomfort becomes full display to all those who might say “yeah but we’re good now, things are good now” but that simply can not be so. There must be something wrong. The shoe will drop. The loss will happen. My life is not fulfilled without the thumping of the chest from the loser Oriole who proclaims to his tribe, “see, I told you so!” sad sacks of shit, the lot of them!

      Ohtani's Interpreter Accused of Theft, Fired.

      Another MLB player, once a teammate and friend of Ohtani, maybe tied to gambling. I didn't bother to try to understand the exact timeline or tie to Ohtani, which seems to be just as friends, but here it is for anyone interested. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/40166891/angels-david-fletcher-bet-bookie

      By Cheetos · Posted

      Well, now that we’ve established the hitting sucks, is it a good time to complain that this pitching is obviously over performing and will crash and burn any day now?
