I definitely love this guy's last name!

Jammer7 had mentioned him last week as a possible target for us. Good job Jammer!

I guess we know his nickname when he makes it to the show:

Malcolm "Clapdiddy" Clapsaddle, it is.

For some reason I'm reminded of this:

The crickets and the rust-beetles scuttled among the nettles of the sage thicket. "Vamanos, amigos," he whispered, and threw the busted leather flintcraw over the loose weave of the saddlecock. And they rode on in the friscalating dusklight...

I'm glad to see him drafted by us, but barring a miracle he's headed to the University of Georgia with a full scholarship. I know the kid's dad well and the fact that he has a "full" ride to Georgia should tell you he's a very good prospect. He didn't do the showcase circuit, so that is why you don't see BA ranking him a lot higher.

"the gift that keeps on giving..."

Yes, you can get STD's on your backside, namely HSV (Herpes Simplex Virus), and condyloma (warts)..

I figured it sounded like a rash on your behind because of the "saddle" part of the name. Having "Clap" on your "Saddle".....

gross....

      Really nice to see the pitchers progressing with a solid crew from 5-8.

      I think you are underselling the month. Would you be unhappy if they went 3-3 to start this?  I’m honestly not expecting more than that.

      If they play well we have a great shot to put a little distance between us and the Yankees.  That would be a great story line going into the ASB.

      Heston Kjerstad 2024

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      The discussion in the offseason was, if you trade one, who do you trade. I kept going back and forth on the answer but my ultimate thought process was that Cowser is the better all around player but Kjerstad’s best tool, his power, is better than any single tool Cowser has. I still basically stand by that thought.    This is a long winded way of saying Kjerstad’s power is just better than Cowser’s, so he definitely can get away with things that Cowser can’t. You have pointed out a lot of warning track outs for Cowser. I would suspect many of those would be homers off of Kjerstad’s bat.

      What makes Basallo so untouchable?

      The panic is crazy.  Of course we need to upgrade for a WS run, that’s the prudent thing to do.  But the panic is just that, emotional thinking causing lapse in judgement. We are 4th in all MLB in ER given up, 3rd in era, & 3rd in FIP.  The pitching is doing quite well.    I keep hearing that Elias has done nothing about the pitching.  But here we are as one of the elite pitching teams in baseball right now and below is what Fangraphs had to say about the system.  Why are people still saying our organization has ignored pitching? Why are people suggesting trading potential generational talent for mediocre pitching upgrades?  There are so many interesting pitchers in this system that it was tough to include them all. There’s an org we’re aware of whose scouts need to write a full report on a player if he touches 95 in front of them. If you’re a scout from that team covering Baltimore, you’ve had to write up more than 80 pitchers based on their peak velo alone. The retaining wall of arms is strong in the upper levels, giving the Orioles the pitching depth to contend amid injuries.

      I never like getting ahead of myself, or assume we will dominate bad teams.  I know we had one poster who was saying we really should sweep Houston.  Uh, yeah.    But honestly, we’re a .630 winning percentage team, and this is a soft part of our schedule.  15-10 would disappoint me greatly.  16-9 would be okay but a missed opportunity.

      So you give up 2 top 100 prospects for 2 seasons and a limited second half? I’m glad you’re not in control. I know we’re currently a bit spoiled with the tanking and better front office. But I don’t see why you’d want to give up 3-4 players that include 2 of those guys.
