He's just not particularly good at baseball. Any serious rebuild needs to move out players like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinFanInMinn Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Good start for Mullins. Kid looks like he can play. As for the pitching, yikes. Boston scored six in one inning with only 3 hits but 5 walks. 9 of their 19 runs were batters that either walked or were hit by a pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Pitching was terrible but the defense is way worse. That's saying something when the pitchers walk 10 batters. Really wish we'd start next season with Mullins and Jones in the OF along with a third real OFer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOSKINS_08 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I went to the game tonight. Mullins looked like a natural which is nice to see. But holy **** I left in the top of the 7th at 10:15! That was a long ass game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capcrunch98 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Got back from today's game at Camden Yards. For the first time since I can remember, I didn't even want to go. But we got these tickets back in March - you know, when some people (including this fool) thought the O's could possibly contend for a wild card if certain pieces fell into place. And the secondary market for Orioles tickets is rougher than trying to dump Skins preseason games, so it's either use the tickets to get into the game, or use them as toilet paper. I don't care about the records, getting swept at home by the Red Sox is a total kick in the balls. At least in the dark years pre-Buck, we could count on winning 1 in a series in which we were totally outmatched. Now we just get ripped apart in all 4 games and it's not even close. And the losing is expected. Even if we have a multiple run lead, like Friday night, you just know they're going to blow it. Easily the worst season I've ever endured for any of my teams. And as a Skins and Caps fan, that's saying something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Why am I Mr. Pink? Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Anybody know the international signings DD said were coming? I see a Carlos del Rosario and Moises Ramirez. Jonathan Villar seems like a good pick up. 27 years old. Has some speed, seems like plus defense. Biggest thing is he fills the lead off hitter role better than anyone on our team prior to the trades. I feel so bad for Schoop right now. Hes struggling. Brewers are not playing him everday now.

Indeed. He's been Chris Davis-esque over there. Except even Davis can work a walk occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capcrunch98 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Is anybody still here? I don't post a lot, but I've visited the O's threads almost daily for the past several years because some of you regulars have amazing insight that exceeds even what I read in the Baltimore Sun. Even in this lost season, I still come here hoping for something, anything - encouraging news on some of our prospects, predictions for the off-season, witty comments about how bad [insert player from current lineup] is, maybe something positive to be found in the rubble of this charred and burned franchise with a gigantic mushroom cloud hanging over it.

Hello?....... We are laying low my friend. TBH I havent watched this little of the Os in a long long time. -Bundy is regressing but swears he is not injured. - Gausman went to ATL and the pitching coach recommended he pitch out of the stretch all the time and that seems to be working for Gaus. - Rays also got Pirates top pitching prospect Baz as player to be named later in addition to Meadows and Gaslnow. Compare that to what we got for Gausman and we got hosed in comparison for comparative pitchers. - Mullins looks better than advertised. - Os are bringing up a guy with pretty good OBP in the minors, forget his name. But I dont think he is a young prospect - Villar looks decent. Kinda happy with that. At 27 he is under control for a few years and we have 0 middle infielder prospects that could have filled the spot - Schoop hit a homer in PH duty last night. Good job johnny! Manny went 3-5 last night? - Our SP now is abysmal outside of Cobb who is pitching to his mean now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Gausman has had these hot stretches before though. He had one at the beginning of the year. A seven start stretch where he gave up 2, 3, 2, 2, 1, 0, 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best prospect we got in return seems to be the 2.5M in add'l International money .. which we havent spent yet. Consensus among OH seems to be that if they sign VVM, then it was a good enough deal for the Os. If they dont .. we kinda gave him away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wholeheartedly agree with what you said about what the Tampa. They made out like bandits compared to us and got 2 promising ML-ready prospects. Glasnow looks particularly nasty.

Rocky21 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I just read the morning box scores every morning to see how bad of a whoopin' we took. 6-0 last night. We got swept in the season series by the Blue Jays. Holy **** it's bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Gausman trade was 100% a salary dump of O’Days salary. It’s one of the dumbest ways to rebuild. I think in general DD did a poor job of getting returns in the schoop and Gausman deals. I’ve watched very little O’s baseball since all the trades. Keeping tabs on Mullins and watching his ABs occasionally. Mostly following the minors. It’s tough to the an O’s rebuild seriously if they keep CD.

I'm basically checking the box scores at this point, not really watching the games that much. I probably catch a few innings here or there a few times a week.

abdcskins Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I said it the day we traded him, Gausman is going to be a star. Worst season in a long time. It had to happen at some point. Chris Davis should be ashamed of himself. He should be forced to give $25 million back to Angelos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Why am I Mr. Pink? Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Heard on the radio that other Gausman changes include moving him a foot over on the mound and he has a different landing area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonArtest15 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 No surprise...Gausman is on fire in ATL. Something is fundamentally wrong with the pitching development in the O's org. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 I'm not going to get too carried away about Gausman having a hot start in ATL. If he's still doing this in a year from now then ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I might need a year away from the O's to see what they do from the distance. The Redskins are frustrating...but this nonsense is not worth watching besides highlights. I think I know how it feels to be a Bullets fan. Ugh.
