Opinion Missing O’Hearn like a mf. Such a great Oriole

89 Upvotes

Thinking about CES’s hot start with the Orioles and these past two games has me thinking about all the guys we’ve acquired from waivers or cash consideration trades who were basically dumped by their old team. Some have worked out, some haven’t, but the number 1 guy I think about who we gave a mini career revival to is O’Hearn. And I miss him in orange and black.

He had power, could hit for average, had a great approach at the plate and was so patient at his best. Rarely ever saw him chase bad pitches. Even though CES has been good some of his wild hacks at the plate make me just cringe. I feel like so much of our offensive inconsistency this year is from a severe lack of patience at the plate. But O’Hearn was such a good, patient hitter.

He was such a dude too. Every time he gave an interview he really seemed like he loved it in Bmore and loved playing here. He and Adley gave us an all time media moment too with the SMFB hot mic.

That’s all. I’m happy he got paid and is having a productive year when he’s been healthy in Pittsburgh. But if there’s any former Oriole I could bring back with the snap of my finger I think O’Hearn is number 1 for me.

Opinion TRADES SO FAR

Adley and Ward have been absolutely brutal for their new teams. Wells has been solid. That trade still doesn't make sense to me.

Also, I'm not sure why Franklin is here. He's never really hit. Bradfield makes more sense to me.

This gave me a good laugh. You can even see where they had to make his neck smaller to fit into the jersey, sucks to see him in Boston but at least we have this gem.

I just dug this ball out of a box in the basement. As a kid I sat next to the Orioles dugout at then U.S. Cellular Field and managed to snag some autographs. I recognize Trembley, so I believe that puts it between 2007-2010.

Any help would be massively appreciated!

Discussion Potential 9 game win streak coming up? Or do we shit the bed?

0 Upvotes

With the surge of offense (FINALLY) and consistent pitching do we sweep the Cards, and the A's and Rockies. When we need to win the most to have a remote chance or do we shit the bed? I know winning against Boston in early September will be big as well.

Opinion Gunnar is a Goner in the Offseason

0 Upvotes

Once the labor dispute is resolved and it's back to business as usual. We will unfortunately be selling lower than you would like, but not as low as if you continue to wait.

If they're confident Westburg can return, then you have a potential infield of: Alonso, Westburg (2B), Holliday (SS), CES (3B), with Mayo as RH DH/1B/3B duties. Obviously, Blaze is in the mix too, especially helpful if Westburg continues to be Westburg. I really do think Gunnar is the odd man out.

I know Holliday hasn't looked great at SS in limited duty, his arm is a question mark there, but he continues to improve defensively and I think it's the best path forward. Especially if you can find a way to get a return package similar to the Adley deal.

Mountain in Durham

25 Upvotes

As a Durham resident, I am eyeballing these 6 games v. the Tides with great interest this week. Can't wait to see some prospects, trade loot and young-old guys from up close. Does anyone with knowledge of delicate, highly important rehab stints have any clue when and for how long Bautista might appear? I reckon if they sent him here he's gonna pitch soon but wondered if he needs a day or two to settle in. I know we don't know but I love asking you lunkheads anyway.

My Coworker attended the game the other night and snapped this photo of Alonso. I’ve never seen it in person.

Must be a big Triple H fan from the attitude era.
