True, which means only one thing....

....we should throw at them first! Be proactive! Strike first and fast! ATTACK!!!!!!!!! :mwahaha:

Perhaps this could be the bench clearing brawl we've been waiting for since Benitez plunked Martinez. :mwahaha:

The Sox are the home team, how are the O's supposed to throw at them first, batting practice?

If so, can the O's call in Mills to throw bp today?

Why would they rather not know? I think any hitter would want that advantage over his opponent if they can get it.

It's just like when a pitcher is tipping their pitches. The guy who sees the tell, will let the other hitters in the dugout know what to look for.

Most guys won't trust it.

Tipping pitches can be different or the same depending on the tip. For instance, a player might hold his glove lower on a slider than he does on his fastball. He also might have a sideways tilt to it before his hands break.

Hitters are focusing on his release point to immediately pick up the spin on the ball and recognize the pitch. Their method is ingrained in them. By shifting quickly back and forth between the two spots, it's throws off their rhythm.

Now, if you've got a guy who let's say doesn't lift his leg as high out of the stretch on fastballs to the plate, that's easier. It's not as quick back and forth. They can make the adjustment.

You know Guillen and Buck has some heat from the past as well. This has been brewing for a long time.

Its time for a good old fashioned bean ball war tonight! They took out Jonesie...we'll take out Pierre!

In an epic blowup in 2004 when then-Rangers manager Showalter questioned Guillen’s knowledge of baseball rules (specifically if an extra late-season coach could be on the field coaching first base), Mt. Guillen erupted. It goes down as one of his classic rants of all time.

A sample of Guillen’s offerings that September day:

"I could have made a big deal about it, but I was professional enough because I respect the guy that was coaching first base.... (John) Wetteland did something in the big leagues. [showalter] never even smelled a jock in the big leagues. He didn't even know how the clubhouse in the big leagues was when he got his first job. ... 'Mr. Baseball' never even got a hit in Triple-A. He was a backup catcher or a first baseman all his career. Now all of the sudden he's the best ever in baseball."

Later, Guillen poked fun at Showalter’s attention to detail, presenting a lineup card before a game against the Rangers that not only had the mug shots of each White Sox player, but had their e-mail addresses as well.

Ozzie says that it's all in the past, but you never know... ;)

How do brawls look on gameday? Do a bunch of little pixels collide or something? :D

Nice! I love how the batter Dragon Punches the pitcher... :laughlol:

Funny how 8 bit video games would show more violence than today's baseball games which don't include brawls...

IIRC we already picked on Pierre a lot last series although I forget why now. Maybe this one only goes back a couple of weeks?

      USA Today Panel picks Orioles last in AL East

      As in, another instance and you'd want him gone? Elias and the FO are building a foundation that will enable them to be a team I haven't witnessed in my lifetime - a consistent competitive team. I have 100% confidence in the process of the FO. Will every decision pan out? Of course not. But has the FO helped the organization more than any other FO in my lifetime? Without a doubt. My much greater concern is that Elias, Sig, et al leave because another organization realizes how valuable they are.

      Opening Day Is a 3:05 gane start at Csmden Yards.They  are going to open the gates three hours before the game?  Have not heard this but you may be right. Fenway which usually does an 11/2 gate opening ,is doing a 2 hour gate opening for Opening Day.

      Don't see a final roster posted yet.  If so, I missed it.

      It’s mostly about the pitching (2023 version)

      By now · Posted

      On balance I think it's fair to expect the improved rotation and regressed bullpen will even out, so pitching overall for the team will remain about the same. Meanwhile the hitting should definitely improve!

      At 76.5 I'll take the over on the O's and pass on betting their place in the standings.  While I'm pretty upset with this past off season, I'm not quite ready to grab a pitchfork.  Given that Westburg and Cowser and several others could all be ready to contribute soon, Elias should have a fair amount of flexibility at the trade deadline.  Was that his strategy all along?  Beats the heck out of me, but if that's the case and we sit and watch another failure to launch (liftoff v2.0 anyone?) then most of the goodwill I have toward him evaporates overnight.  Bottom line?  The 2022 O's earned a bigger investment than they've received so far but it's not too late to fix it.

      Minor League CBA Now Signed

      By yark14 · Posted

      MLB and the newly-unionized minor leagues just struck a new CBA.  Doubles AAA salaries with even bigger raises for the lower minors.  Now minor leaguers *almost* make a liveable wage.

      I won't lie, I'm very concerned about not having Tate in the bullpen for a month or 2. Tate was our most reliable reliever. Hyde could always count on him to get the job done. I thought Givens could fill the gap, but now Givens is injured too. Someone is going to have to seriously step up for the bullpen. I'm also convinced that Tyler Wells has a limited number of innings he can be effective. We've seen what happened last year once he got beyond a certain threshold. (He got injured.) I think that after a couple months, we might see either Voth, Baumann, Hall, or Rodriguez take some starts in that rotation spot. Who it is, depends on how Rodriguez and Hall are doing in Norfolk. If one of them is dominating, that's who will get the call.
