justice98 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) I think we can pencil in Cobb for a couple DL stints every year.  Edited April 9, 2019 by justice98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justice98 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Castro only has one appearance without giving up a run this year and it was the first one. Remember when they thought he might be a starter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly why I am not at all filled with the hopelessness last year brought.. even if this squad ends up fighting to stay out of the ALE cellar. they're yooung, SPEEDY, and I like that. As usual, need to get the pitching sorted out. I do like that Gary Thorne and Jim Palmer keep telling everyone it is an evaluation year, and the BEGINNING of the rebuild, and it will take time. (And usually, i can't stand listening to Palmer )  ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Bordick better.  it is funny looking when they show him.. so much botox in that forehead... he is in his 70s and still trying to look like hes 30 years younger. the other day when Eddie Murray was in the booth and thy had the camera on him, I kept watching Jim to see if he could blink.  Glad we have Gary Thorne, though. He's fantastic.  ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Gary, who is already great, gets the most out of him because he asks questions and sets things up beautifully.  Hunter is the Larry Michael of the Orioles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I absolutely love Palmer. He was ruthless last night, as he generally is when players or coaches do dumb stuff, when the O's ran tried to run on the A's CF. It was 5-0 I think and they would've had Mancini come up with the bases loaded and no outs. Instead they get the first out at home then, on the next pitch with Mancini up, they attempt a double steal which gets Rickard thrown out at 2nd. Really bad decision making by both the 3rd base coach and the manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskin4ever Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Since we are taking about Palmer, when I see him on TV, he reminds me of the 60s Batman villain False Face. It’s really sad but that’s what I think of. He looks like plastic now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Yeah, I love Palmer. I appreciate Palmer's knowledge and insight. Don't really care about his ego. When he's says why somebody is or isnt having success, he's usually right. Or when people do dumb stuff, he says it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I also love how he occasionally mocks analytics as if some computer or equation was needed to know what pitch (and location) to throw in different situations.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCSaints_fan Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Speaking of breaking futility records, how many home runs are the O's pitchers going to give up this year? We must be on pace for like 400 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskin4ever Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 It still amazes me that pitchers walk Chris Davis. To be fair, the AB in the 7th that just happened, the pitcher nibbled around the plate. But still, you nibble and miss, he could get on base. You throw him strikes, he’s 0 for forever.
