That was nice

Holy s***

You almost never see someone drill a foul home run and then follow up with an even bigger bomb...geezus.

Thanks for leaving him in Buck. That looked like a concourse shot off the bat

Only missed it by a row or two. Wow - an absolute bomb!

That was CRUSHED by Davidson .

Can we PLEASE bring back Omar Vizquel to work with Davidson/Delmonico/Tim Anderson?

 

 

435 feet on the distance. That was 3 rows from the concourse in LF.

Moncada and Burger as well. God that would be amazing.

Avi Garcia hitting .340 on 6/13/17 has to be one of the strangest things I've seen in 20+ years of baseball.

 

 

Eh. Not even the strangest thing this year. Avi has the pedigree and youth. Look at Justin Smoak. Much weirder.

Yeah, he has a little pop in that bat.

The stranger thing is that we haven't even talked renewal with Avi. I suggested a while back that offer him a 6 year / $72 million extension. His market value has probably gone up $3 million per year since than and if we don't do anything soon, he'll be out of our budget.

Logan Morrison comes to mind here, as well.

Shields 5 innings/ 90 pitches tonight

Basically, the Samardzija deal. I still think they're going to wait until the end of the season. I watched Mark Teahen hit like this for four months in Kansas City, but not for the full season, he fell off. Just like Beckham his rookie year.

Let's not be ridiculous. Mark Teahen couldn't carry Avi's jockstrap.

Moncada and Burger as well. God that would be amazing.

 

Add Leury Garcia to the list.

 

Hopefully being around Hanson, Yolmer and Saladino will rub off...obviously not all of those players can fit on the roster, though. And of course you'd rather have all your future starters (Anderson/Moncada/Burger or Davidson) with the "plus" defensive skills. Avisail Garcia, etc.

 

I guess the back-up plan for Anderson is moving him to CF with Leury at SS.

 

 

C Collins

3B Burger

SS Anderson/Leury

2B Moncada

1B Davidson/Delmonico/Sheets

 

LF Luis Robert

CF Tim Anderson

RF Avi Garcia

 

DH (rotating) Abreu for next two years

 

That has the looks of an interesting offense. Plus top 5 pick next year, probably another college hitter.

 

And a plethora of starting pitching depth in the minors to trade from to meet needs.

Twins only have 25 hits tonight.

You do realize that you have 3 players who don't have US professional plate appearances and 2 others that have no MLB plate appearances on this list. Not all of them will be good MLB players.

Hey, I just got here, but boy do the Orioles suck now.

Avi could be hitting .390 on Sept. 1 and some people would be saying, "Wait until the end of the season" before they'd even consider locking him up, thinking an 0-for-40 would get that average back where it belongs.

I think its smart not to extend Avi, given that the underlying numbers do not support him having a massive breakout. BABIP over .400, K rate down slightly, walks down quite a bit. He's having a Dee Gordon season.

we need to stop winning games..

 

a few more losses last season and we would have had haseley

It's nice to see some of the young guys contribute, but the main value of this game was to get Holland (hopefully) back on track.

This is one reason why I hope people start to understand the importance of every loss. 3 more losses in 2015 and we have Benetindi instead of Fulmer. 7 more losses in 2016 and we'd have Haseley instead of Burger.

 

Benetindi

Moncada

Kopech

The difference was about 10 losses over 2 seasons.

I nees at least a full season but ideally a season and a half about. If he doesn't sign before next year's deadline, deal him.
