Several articles referenced on here lately have offered up that the difference in talent level between AAA and MLB is not small, and that MLB is for the "big dawgs". I think we have seen that with how some of our prospects have struggled, and it has definitely changed my mind in thinking that all of our top MiL guys are going to be superstars. I'm not going to say who I think will or will not live up to some of our expectations, but I have definitely tempered my enthusiasm for some. -
One of the biggest crowds of the year for a Monday--even exceeding the Yankees from 2 weeks ago. Good to see the fans support and first time I really noticed the crowd getting loud in the last innings at key moments. The LRT was packed before and after. -

Give me a closer and a legit OF bat before I spend any prospects on JV. -
I think that the vast majority of prospects struggle at some piont early on. Even those that have immediate success seem to go through a pretty deep adjustment period fairly early. I think that is why the O's are trying to "introduce" 1 to 2 at a time. The question is how bad they struggle and how quickly they come out of it. -
I'm going to guess the odds makers. -
Who is publishing favorites to win the Cy Young Award? If Burnes is 2nd, it’s not because he’s been the second best pitcher in the league so far, it’s because he’s done reasonably well and people think he’ll do even better for the rest of the year. Anyway, if you expect a guy to be among the top 5-6 pitchers in the league and he does that, then he’s meeting expectations. -
Yeah at some point the scorching hot start will be overshadowed by his ice-cold period. From March-April 15th he had a wRC+ of 258 and 1.297 OPS and a BABIP of .500 From April 16 to May 13 He's had a wRC+ of 74 and .580 OPS with a BABIP of .233 so a bit unlucky, but not nearly as big a swing as he was with the luck in March through April 15th. At some point, you have to be concerned that he doesn't make the adjustment back. I'm sure we'll know more in another months time and hopefully, he settles somewhere in the middle. I said much earlier during his scorching hot streak that I would be happy with a .780 OPS out of him, I think I'd take the under going forward for the rest of the year.
