Spot on. I feel like calling the Humane Society, because playing this guy every day would certainly fall under inhumane, huh?

On a positive note, Atkins' 7 doubles is tied for third on the team with Miggy, in 32 less at-bats. His double every 15.1 ABs is second behind Kakes. And he's batting .350 (7 for 20) in LIP situations.

About 50-70 more weak at-bats and I'll be ready to see Aubrey.

Millwood trying his best to cancel the Greinke factor. I think that tonight it might finally get to him if the O's can't score enough runs to win. He's human after all.

Rep to the literary whiz who can give me a Shakespearean quote from MacBeth that captures this quote above. ;)

"I dare do all that may become a man; Who dares do more, is none."

Google whiz is probably more like it.

Also, Shakespearian quote that needs to be used in baseball more often:

"Fair is foul, and foul is fair."

hmmmm

"to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles......... And enterprises of great pitch and moment with this regard their currents turn awry, and lose the name of action"

"Brave thou wert, and Ranger; and shalt be

What thou art signed to be: yet do I fear thy nature;

It is too full o' the milk of human kindness

To catch the nearest line drive: thou wouldst be great;

Art not without ambition, but without

The offense should attend it: what thou wouldst highly,

That wouldst thou Oriole-ly; wouldst not play false,

And yet wouldst wrongly lose: thou'ldst have, great pitcher,

That which cries 'Thus thou must do, if thou have it;

And that which rather thou dost fear to do

Than wishest should be undone.' Hie thee hither,

That I may pour fans' spirits in thine ear;

And chastise with the valour of our posts

All that impedes thee from the golden round,

Which command and umpire's aid doth seem

To have thee crown'd withal."

--From Act I, Scene 5 of "Millwood" by Wm. Shakespeare

      Are we done?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I understand the importance of team chemistry. Not sure I understand at all the reference to the Yankees. Their chemistry appears to be fine from what I can tell. Maybe you have some inside info there? Our chemistry based on recent media revelations and Hays’ parting shot does not appear to be as good as you are stating. Furthermore, even if our chemistry is superb, the problem is that “chemistry” is not very effective on the mound. Our pitching has been horrible (near the bottom of the league) for over a month now (since Bradish’s injury). It does not appear that team chemistry has the ability to fix that.

      Grade the Hays for Dominguez/Pache trade

      They needed the 40 man spot as well.  They are guessing Nittoli makes it through waivers.

      Organizational Turmoil?

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      Many major league players don’t make a top 100 prospect list. Stowers has a .797 OPS. What else does he need to do? We’ve picked up a kid from the Phillies who has proven over 3 or 4 seasons that he’s not a MLB hitter and can’t be sent down. It was a stupid pick up…. Get the reliever and a A ball player.

      Hays traded to Phillies

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Marsh can flex to CF like Cowser.     I hope Hays gets a clean look at returning to closer to an everyday role. Roch on the pregame show went to the place of wondering aloud if Hays' agent asked for a trade.    Ulitmately whether Dombrowski tenders Hays or not, Austin can use playing time to establish his place in the 2025 market, or how high the Bid/Ask will be for Arb. A few minutes later, Melanie featured that  Mullins and Hays had picked up a charitable effort Gibson did last year, an organization having an event this weekend Cedric will now have to do alone.

      Out of all our prospects, you valued Etzel the most?

      I think you have to be careful with a big trade like that. The reason why we are so good now has a lot to do with team chemistry. Splitting up all these talented teammates will turn you into the Yankees if you’re not careful- not knowing if they will gel as a team. You can’t put a price on the chemistry many of these players have built up over the years.

      Clubhouse issues?

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      Norby looks fine to me so far…. Tripping appeared to be nerves to me and I’m willing to give him a pass. Kjerstad needs to be grommet at 1B or just DH imo. Maybe hidden in RF…but playing him in LF here is beyond stupid. Even before last night I’ve said several times that he just looks shaky.
