    Anyway, Will Anderson is the highest graded first round pick after first two preseason games and it’s not vey close on second. Good shit.

    Really liked what I saw from Stroud in Game 2. 

    People who celebrate wins like our first or freak out about the loss like Game 2 in preseason: I do not understand you. But I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.

  2. Quick thought on O’s fans:

    Baltimore sports fans in general are strong. So props to them for enduring the shit that team shovels and showing up once it’s fun.

    But

    People generally boo Altuve/Bregman because they wreck on NYY. No one boos Mookie or Judge for using the same system because they didn’t hurt NYY in the process. And they don’t boo Springer or Gurriel because they’re no longer wrecking on NYY.

    Also, Baltimore… you’re NYY little bitch. They put you in a hole like Buffalo Bill and keep you there.

    So maybe it’s time to start cheering Altuve like a liberator.

    Fuck no. He's not a solid player. He's your 4th or 5th OF, that crushes LHP. He has a place on the team, but he should never be given starter's ABs again.

    He hasn’t even had 600 ABs, so basically hasn’t had a year’s worth of ABs yet. Do you know how many great players looked average or bad through their first year’s worth of ABs? You don’t want to be the guy who gives up on Mike Schmidt et al because his first year was bad. Development takes time. And sometimes, yeah, it doesn’t work out. Not saying Meyers destined for greatness, but you can’t say it’s over yet either.

  4. Good for Jake. He and Chas had similar splits through ~100 games, and Meyers had an injury after that. May be a solid player if given the chance, has definitely shown flashes.

    Are there trade rumors of them getting someone worth a shit to replace Julks/Meyers in the lineup? Is Baker going to stop playing jugbutted fatass and his fucking .550 OPS in the lineup every 4 out of 5 days? If neither of these issues go away, there will continue to be at least 2 breaks in every lineup. 

    Myers is not that bad when performing and whether people like it or not they clearly see value in Maldonado as prime backstop and tutor to Diaz.

    Remember that people were ready to bail on JP3 3/4 into one season before he got hot at the right time. Not even August yet.
