First two games as an O:

 

8/1: 2 for 4, 1 double
8/2: 2 for 4, 1 double, 1 triple

[Nigel Tufnel]

5 doubles in 345 plate appearances with the Rays, 2 doubles in 8 plate appearances with the O's.  Baseball is a funny game.

I had no idea he was as fast as he is.

 

The triple last night was very impressive.  

 

He should get more XBH then he has and maybe Camden Yards helps him, too.

Per Elias: Tim Beckham's 11 hits in his 1st 4 games with #orioles are the most in franchise history. Sammy West had 10 with 1933 Browns

Duq is a genius! It's not about getting the best talent available, it's about getting who is going to play the best through their first 4 games after the trade.

[CA-ORIOLE]

OPS up to .795, 115 wRC+ and has hit 2.2 fWAR.

Homerun #10,000 for the Birds....

 

8/3: 3 for 4, 1 double, 1 homer
8/4: 4 for 4, 1 homer
8/5: 2 for 4, 1 homer...

 

That is some type of scorching... he's brought his average up from .259 to .282 in 5 games.

He's gained 75 points in OPS and almost 1 WAR (0.9) in 5 games.

Beckham hitting the 10,000th O's homer will be one of those trivia questions that 10 years from now people will guess 12 other more likely names than Beckham.

Kevin Bass

[SportsGuy]

He won AL player of the week

[Mark Carver]

Beckham batted .583/.600/1.167 (14-for-24) with three doubles, a triple, three home runs, six runs scored, and six RBI over six games!

[Mike B]

Not a bad start.

 

He is talented, and may be a viable candidate to play SS next year.

[CA-ORIOLE]

SSS but only 7 K's in 41 AB's has been good sign. He doesn't impress me as guy who owns a 1/3 K rate. Pretty good high ball hitter/bacspin guy who so far has laid of the low stuff. 

[BSLSteveBirrer]

Beckham has 4 doubles, two triples, and four homers since joining the O's and has been hitting .325 with us. I like him at the top of the order. Speed at the leadoff spot is something we have been lacking.

I have him at 4, 2, and 3 with a .500/.512/.925 in 10 games and 40 at bats with us.

[BSLSteveBirrer]

Bob you are correct. I was looking at his stat line since the ASB.

[Mike B]

Two more hits tonight for Beckham

[CA-ORIOLE]

I love this guy.

[CA-ORIOLE]

OPS up to 822 for season. 121 wRC+. 2.7 fWAR.
