  1. He had me in the first half but as soon as I saw righty knew he was a twitter scout.
  2. Hopefully this time someone claims this him so he doesn’t weasel his way back into the mix.
  3. I like this. Fastball velocity and whiff from the left side. Cheap pickup with some upside.
  4. They will use their position player prospect capital to add a good Starter. I don't know if they well shell out big for rentals. But I expect them to go after Dylan Cease type. And they will have plenty to spend in the off-season. Maybe they can acquire Giolito now and resign him. I don't expect them to be in on Stroman. But now that I said that they probably will.
  5. The Orioles current regime were basically forced into years of terribleness that they couldn't control due to how terrible the previous regime was. But what they have done is successfully navigated themselves out of it and put themselves in tremendous position to win and win for a long time. Last year is an excellent example of this. They could have easily bought last year and snuck into a wild card spot. But they knew even if they were playing better and putting talent in more places they still weren't ready to contend. So they actually sold and continued to stock the cupboard. Now they have young players all over the diamond with blue chip prospects at every level and will just continue to funnel good quality players to the Big Leagues. They are in the drivers seat right now and do whatever they want. I absolutely wish the Jays went for a similar approach and built it up much slower focusing on acquiring prospects and drafting at the top of the draft. Instead the moment they saw Vlad and Bo have success early success in the Majors and the fan response to that excitement. The front office collectively blew their entire load. And just spent money like crazy and traded away so many prospects for veterans. Even though a lot of the prospects ended up being s*** its not the point. They banked everything on Vlad and Bo being Superstars instead of continuing to develop of pipeline of young talent around them. Instead Bo and Vlad were hitting #2 and #3 in the Lineup and it was about getting as much veteran talent around them. And to their credit they have been in the playoff picture every year since 2020. Lets hope it pays off in a World Series victory while this window is open. Problem is once this window is closed will probably slip into mediocrity for a handful of years. Especially if they can't resign Bo and other good players don't emerge.
  6. I would be having a lot more fun with another bat in the lineup.
  7. Trading him now would be kinda dumb. In the off-season when we can show a well angled workout quick of him being in the best shape of his life is the time to strike.
  8. Good to see the offense come on late after early struggles. Need to get on a run. A lot of winnable games on the horizon.
  9. Snell walked 7 and only allowed 1 run lmao. Only the Blue Jays
  10. Lineups always gross. Team can’t hit.
  11. June 20 (1:07pm start) Bichette - 1 Point - Vladdy - 1 Point - Springer - 2 Points - Spanky, Omar Chapman - 3 Points - Kirk - 5 Points - Merrifield - 6 Points - JaysAllMighty Espinal - 7 Points - Kiermaier - 7 Points - Luplow - 8 Points - Off the bench: 10 Points - Jonn
  12. This team just can’t hit and it sucks
  13. Like look at Dave Hudgens and Donny Baseball in the dugout. Both 60+ years old. In better shape than half our roster lol.
  14. Varsho can't start anymore. Enough is enough.
  15. Bautista and Donaldson were in tremendous shape in the prime of their careers. And Donaldson was a fat chubby young guy. So having that kind of mentor around would have done wonders for Vlad.
  16. It just sucks that our starters have to be basically perfect because of the ineptness of this offense.
  17. He’s not on it. But they will have to add this off-season anyway. So why not just do it now. There’s more than one guy they can easily DFA. Trent Thornton being one.
  18. What does that even mean lol? I don’t deserve an account. I feel like I have far less beef with anyone than quite a few people. Unless they hate me in silence I haven’t had any issues. I’m not buying the Mitch White small sample size. I’m aware of his initial success with the Dodgers but he hasn’t been anywhere near that. The angle I would buy is that he’s hurt.
  19. They need an everyday LF. Varsho can’t hit. And they can’t afford to waste anymore time hoping he figures it out.
  20. July 19 Bichette - 1 Point - Vladdy - 1 Point - Springer - 2 Points - Belt - 2 Points - JohnHavok Chapman - 3 Points - Jonn Jansen - 3 Points - mphenhef Varsho - 4 Points - JaysAllMighty Merrifield - 6 Points - Kiermaier - 7 Points - Off the bench: 10 Points -
  21. If any team judges a player on a 10-day sample in the Major Leagues they probably don’t deserve to have a job in this industry.
  22. He has watched countless teammates that hes out performed on more than one level get promoted over him. Including a couple having their contracts selected. You don’t think that would piss someone off. He has shown good power with an elite ability to get the ball in air and being selective. You don’t think that can be an asset to the current roster? A team that struggles with runners in scoring position. He deserves a 2 week look before the deadline. Luplow is a bum.
  23. Why Luplow over all those other deserving players. Makes zero sense. If I was Davis Scheneider I would be requesting a trade.
