Let's fully ignite the Samuel Basallo Bonfire:

Credit to Sammy for staying focused, shame on the decision-makers twice his age causing friction with their young star
Jun 13
Samuel Basallo was asked whether there had been any tension with Orioles manager Craig Albernaz, what his view on this week's situation was and if he feels it is now resolved:
"I don’t want to get into that. But it’s been fine. We are a team right now, so we are just focused on winning and whatever happened, happened. You just have to keep going and keep winning games."

I personally think Wells is more valuable to us as a starter, Nunez should probably get sent down too for that transition. But definitely lots of variables that im not privy to

Amazingly, the Orioles are 2nd in the AL in runs scored, just a handful of runs behind the #1 AL run-scoring Yankees

I will be the first to admit I was wrong about Cowser if he keeps this up. Love the adjustments hes made

Yeah stfu Albernaz and Palmer, listen to the king of playing through injuries and paying the price
Jun 12
Adley Rutschman on Samuel Basallo:
"He's a very smart player, but just kind of understands how injuries are. They're tough, and you obviously don't want them to get bigger. He’s smart with stuff — and smarter than his age."

Maybe hot take, but if you aren't on Samuel Basallo's side in this playing through pain bs, you are wrong
This feels like some generational nonsense, trust that the older side is USUALLY wrong
A short IL stint is always preferable to a handicap
Jun 10
Kevin Brown brought up the Samuel Basallo situation and asked Jim Palmer on MASN.
Jim Palmer: “If he’s able to play late in the ballgame, I’m surprised he’s not in there, that’s all. I don’t think this is the time, when you’ve lost four in a row, to teach a lesson.”

Basallo playing hurt and probably giving us like a .650 OPS for 4 months is WAY worse than giving him a couple weeks to rest and treat and getting him at full force .800 OPS for 3.5 months

Remember that Basallo will almost definitely be here longer than Elias or Albernaz

If TON wants to start hitting doubles, everyone needs to stfu and let him do his thing. This has been one of the streakiest players in the league the last few years, fwiw

Can't say enough good things about Brandon Young. He's been one of the biggest bright spots of the season so far

The Orioles are now second in the AL in runs scored this year, behind only the Yankees (who just lost Judge).
It seems like this offense is FINALLY coming together!

It's a little rich griping about analytics when we were just swept by the now 33-15 first place Rays, literally the most analytically-minded team in baseball
The issue isnt analytics, the issue is that OUR analytics sucks 😕
May 20
MASN analyst Ben McDonald on the postgame show: "You either do or you don't. And right now, the Orioles don't. They are not doing it and they're not playing well right now. That's the bottom line."

The Orioles have a -48 run differential, good for last (tied with SFG) in baseball
There is an argument to be made that they are the worst team in baseball.
Floating in no-mans land of just rebuilt so can't rebuild, but not really close to contending
What a bummer.

Update: Giants won by two ( 2), Orioles are LAST in run differential
So basically, we are getting LUCKY with our bad, but not horrendous, record

I have to say, Sammy's development at the plate (especially in terms of pitch selection) can only be described as rapid

I've never heard *some* Orioles fans sound dumber than the commentary on Kyle Bradish and Trevor Rogers this year

It's crazy that this is a real question, but do the Orioles need a soft rebuild?
Truly depressing stuff

As with a .164 xBA today
If you think this was any less than an elite Kyle Bradish start, you're an idiot
