What would it take for Greivis to get his jersey in the rafters?

I dont think there is any doubt now that Vasquez gets his jersey retired, especially now........

Vasquez is the only player in ACC history to record 2000+ points, 700+ Assists and 600+ Rebounds.

That's impressive but... those kind of numbers don't mean nearly as much as they used to. The top players leave school for the NBA before they can accumulate those numbers, and the oldschool players had only 3 years of eligibility. I will say that Grevis has really stepped up his efficiency after a mediocre start to the season and now really is the player that his biggest fans said he was.

I agree with you, but in Marylands case, if Blake's jersey is up, Vasquez' will be up as well

2000/700/600 = lock for the rafters.

I'll say this, as frustrating as GV has been over the years, he's always had passion. This year, balancing that passion against more discipline, he's been pretty remarkable.

His passes on the break are something to behold. Gatlin-esque. And I don't use that lightly.

I look at his shooting percentage, assist to turnover ratio, poor shot selection and average defense and see a player who is overrated. That being said, he's still the only consistent threat we've had for the last two years, and the numbers speak for themselves. He's got a good shot at getting up into the rafters.

This year? For a shooting guard?

Clearly not true. Over 44% FG and nearly 40% 3PT, 82% from the line, and an A/TO of 1.87?

I agree that his shooting has been erratic in the past. And his decision-making. This year, he's the difference between a 19-7 team and a 14-12 team, though. At a minimum.

    • Reminds me of the snow game many years ago.  
    • Man, I really really don't want to be a snob, and I know it's ballpark food, but as a Maryland-born son of a long generation of Potomac/Chesapeake waterman (hence the avatar I have here, it's my grandfather's wholesale seafood business...note the big red sign is a crab), the gushing the author does over what ever weird cream goo that is on top of those hot dogs as 'crab dip' kinda makes me sad. If it tastes good to the consumer, go for it, it's just not something I would use expensive (especially in the past few lean years with harvest-closures for certain areas) crab for. But now I sound like a snob and will accept my fate. 
    • You said you wanted him to putting a winning team on the field. He did. And of course Elias deserves a ton of the credit for last year. The bullpen was the strongest part of the club and Elias built most of the bullpen with a series of low key moves involving players that almost none of us knew.  One of the players that Elias drafted was runner up in the AL Rookie of the Year voting. Another player from the same draft came up late in the year and injected more life and talent into the club. Elias and his staff did a lot of things right last year. They made mistakes, but I don't think we should let those mistakes and the boring offseason ruin the enjoyment of last year and ignore the real progress that the team and especially the organization has made. It is not all gloom and doom. Heck, they won 83 games without even trying. Just think what Elias will do when he is "making a good faith effort to make the playoffs."   One year does not a rebuild make? I think that is exactly what Elias would tell us. And of course the Orioles rebuild is very much built for the long-term, not the short-term. They apparently barely have two nickels to rub together, so the team that we really want to see is going to primarily come from within. That's going to take a lot longer than you, me, and most of the fans want, but that's the way it is.    Hopefully the team gets off to a hot start and we can all go back to day dreaming about better times for the Os...and especially for us fans. 
    • Looks like he's playing 1B in minor league camp.  Be a great way to find our LH hitting 1B.    
    • So let me set the scene.  It's two in the afternoon and 34 degrees...  
    • For most games, gates are one hour before first pitch.  "Selected" games are two hours.  Opening day the gates open at noon. https://www.mlb.com/orioles/ballpark/information/guide#g-content
