Martinez was OK.....at least understood the nuances of the game and was able to express them coherently.

But what I'll really miss is my 90 year old mother, an avid Orioles fan, asking "I wonder if that's his real hair?" during every O's game that Buck broadcast.....:D

I thought he was fine - he knew what he was talking about IMO. Voice doesn't bother me. I guess I find it incredulous that every time someone leaves so many feel so negatively about them...guess I wasn't a born whiner..err. critic

Sorry, I have had enough of Thorne and his constant mistakes. I guess I should have cleared my view with you.:rolleyes:

Even the HOF'er broadcasters made/make mistakes. It's live broadcasting. And in Thorne's case, some of the things people call mistakes are purposely done to be idiosyncratic.

    • Westburg exceeded rookie eligibility limits last year exceeding 130 at bats and more than 45 days on the active roster. On the plus side he might qualify as a super sophomore or at the very least avoid the sophomore slump. 
    • Westburg shouldn’t be, where are you seeing that?
    • So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?  
    • There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time 
    • Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story. 
    • Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy. 
    • What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!
