  1. I agree that the way he handled Lind was excellent, but I think you have the causality backwards. I think it was less of a case of "Gibbons put Lind in against righties exclusively to build his confidence, and when he was confident, made him a full time guy." and more a case of "Gibbons put Lind in against righties exclusively because his career numbers say that's how best he should be used, but Lind forced his way into the everyday role." Either way, definite credit to Gibbons for realizing that Lind could be a useful everyday player (for the time being, SSS warning etc...). You cannot stop Adam Lind, you can only hope to contain him...
  2. I don't even know where to start with this... But... You can't possibly be serious with this, can you?
  3. Cecil was drafted as a closer. He was developed as a starter in the minors, but he wasn't a starter in college.
  4. No Thanks, I prefer having a farm system...
  5. One guy there even suggested that Adam Lind was juicing... heh, awesome And don't worry guys, it only costs $24/year to get awesome forum features there like: Searching the Forums! Deleting a Thread you started! Posting a Poll! Using a larger Avatar! Srsly, $24/year for basic f***ing forum features, and some people pay this. FOR AN ORIOLES SITE!
  6. If Bautista gets plunked, Davis will also get plunked (and considering who the starting pitchers are, Davis will have a bigger bruise). The benches will clear both times, and there will definitely be some ejections. NEVER aim for the head, that's never cool.
  7. f*** off asshead. Hitting a player on purpose is one thing, it can (sometimes) be a message. Hitting a player in the head is never okay. Also, we have no bad relievers. Aside: I was reading orioleshangout.com's forums just now and the cognitive dissonance there is HILARIOUS. "Bautista and Encarnacion must be on steroids, it's the only way the could have turned it around like that" completely ignoring the improbable turn around of Chris Davis. Also, the implication that the umpires were in our favour this series was pretty funny too. The umpires have been uniformly terrible for both teams, and all season (and likely throughout history.)
  8. Sorry to be all O/T in this thread but... Dude, I've been a musician for over 20 years now. The difference between a beginner and an "expert" at guitar is practice (and natural ability)... A beginner has to think about how to play a C chord, sure... But even a general novice at the instrument is past the point where he has to remember how to form the chord. The idea that once you know where on the neck the notes are is all it takes to be amazing is just silly, knowing how to play notes without consciously thinking about where it is is an important part of playing any instrument, but it is far from the line between beginner and professional. I can easily, without thinking, play you any chord or note on a guitar but I'm a very, very mediocre guitarist (I'm a drummer first and foremost).
  9. No idea what RRA is, but I assume IRS% is "inherited runners stranded"... Yes, f*** saves!
  10. He's going to be really, really expensive.
  11. http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18okspwjkfe61gif/ku-xlarge.gif
  12. You didn't qualify that at all. I LOVE Lind, probably more than is natural, but even I would move him for the right return.
  13. Hi, I'm reductio ad absurdum poking holes in your argument.
  14. AND: http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2622/4013005494_d82c235922_z.jpg?zz=1
  15. Stop that. Seriously, if you do it again, I will murder your face.
  16. M*******s are insufferable when they're NOT winning, when they actually are it's nauseating.
  17. Are you assuming a Bonerface move in this case? Also, I just don't see Melky as a middle of the order bat, I'd put him 9th, frankly.
  18. So, the anti-bluejays.com-messageboard?
  19. Lind for Harper and Strasburg... Still dumb?
