Adam Kennedy is their best offensive threat.......and he hits another HR. The Orioles sure do like to not hit HR's but give up boatloads of them.

The freaking Oakland Athetics are hitting the ball with more authority than us. DH just missed having not one, but two HR's that inning. He's pitching a good game, but alas, we have more holes in our lineup right now than Tupac's corpse.

But the whole point of the contact play is that you don't do that. I'm not going to fault a player for doing what he was explicitly told. Now if by chance they didn't have a play on and he did that on his own, by all means break out the pitchforks!

So what if it's a flyball to right field?

Sorry, but you've gotta at least look at the baseball. It's not like he's closing his eyes and running when he hears the crack.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Chromehill · Posted

      You said it, it depends on the prospects to Texas to complete the trade (if Texas sells).  This should be the type of pitcher Elias pursues.  Hall of Fame pitcher who is still effective.  Given that he is a free agent after the season and will cost $10 to $12 million for the remainder of the season, they should not have to give up any of the big 4 propsects.

      In terms of energy?   e = 1/2 mv^2 football: 60 mph -> 26.8 m/s, 14.5 oz = .411 kg.  1/2 * (26.8^2) * .411 = 147.5 joules. baseball: 102 mph -> 45.59 m/s, 5 oz = .142 kg.  1/2 * (45.59^2) * .142 = 147.5 joules.   I don't think they're 100% equivalent - I think the higher raw speed on the arm of a 102 mph pitch introduces more stress on the arm than a 60 mph football throw.  But they're not that far off.

      There is no chance that over 60 mph for a QB is the equivalent of 102.  QBs do not train for velocity like pitchers do.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      I would prefer they ask for Jon Gray in spite of the Orioles destroying him in his last start - he wouldn't have to face the Orioles lineup again.

      He makes $43 million this year. The Mets are paying $21 million of that. I don’t think we pick up the remaining $10+ post deadline for 10-12 starts. It would just depend on what Texas would ask for to pick up the tab.

      Luis Robert

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Haynie on 105.7, has been beating the Luis Robert drum for months on the O’s pre game show. So I think that’s why people like the idea of Robert. Robert also is always hurt.  We need a bat. Probably a RH bat to DH in the playoffs versus a LH SP. That bat is Mayo. It’s just hard to get Mayo up before September when we get the extra roster spot.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Filmstudy · Posted

      Holliday went 1 for 2 with 3 walks on Friday night. 2024: .444 OBP, .911 OPS MiLB Career: .447 OBP, .931 OPS His OBP is EXACTLY what this O's team needs, would fill a key offensive weakness at 2nd base, help grind opposing pitching, and magnify the power up and down the lineup.  It's all dependent on his ability to throw and play 2B at a passable level. If Holliday starts to hit at the ML level, the question of who bats leadoff is over for the foreseeable future and we can go back to complaining about 1 slumping hitter or backup catcher at the bottom of the lineup.
