So Connley refers to the... " 'sooo cheap' draft pitchforkers".

 

At what point did you consider that social media wasn't mostly a cesspool of ignorance.  There's no standard for twitter, otherwise, who would be on it?

I really don't think the criticism has been that bad.    I do think Elias has made his first bold move since he has been here.  Bold doesn't mean good or bad, but Mike the "numbers man", put himself front and center for the first time since he has been here.

I am not on twitter.  I wind up reading some twitter because people post links.

 

I feel like there's nearly zero outrage over anything the Orioles have or haven't done.

 

You aren't going to have a draft that everyone agrees on (hell, look at the Ravens draft, I thought they killed it and you still have many that lament decisions in it).

 

If you think the Orioles are (or have been) "sooo cheap" in the Amateur draft, then you either: 1) don't know the facts or 2) don't understand the facts.  Either way, you've identified yourself as an ignorant person.  

 

If you don't like the draft, that's a different issue, it has nothing to do with being cheap.

 

What's the point of calling out idiots on twitter?  It feels like when you take on the 0%, it says more about you than them.

 

If you think the Orioles (organizationally) are soo cheap, then you can support that with facts.  We'd have to have a larger discussion about whatever drives that.  If you think the Angeloses only care about money, they are doing a terrible job because they could make a lot more money.

 

What they've spent in the draft has nothing to do with being cheap.  That doesn't mean they are aggressive....they aren't that either.

Good interview with Servideo on The Grind with Melanie Newman.

 

Interesting note in there is that the blonde hair, whatever you think about it, is a tradition for Ole Miss SSs.

Servideo has played in 5 games so far and already has 10 walks. The Myrtle Beach Pelicans have 10 walks as a team through their first 5 games in Low-A East. Really showed off his athleticism last night in the field as well. 

 

Wasn't quite sure what to expect from him, but he's been fun to watch early on.

He had a 20% walk rate his last two years of college so this seems like a skill he has, glad it's translating so far.

Obviously has an eye. Hopefully, he can hit well enough and has at least some gap power. I will say that he was my least favorite pick in '20.

[BobPhelan]

Defense is legit too. Just gotta hit enough.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

3 hits today including a double. Delmarva as a team is hitting the cover off the ball.

SS Anthony Servideo had surgery in Philly to repair sports hernia. Puts him out additional 4-6 weeks. #orioles

Like Hall, could easily see him in the AFL this fall.

Now thats weird numbers. He didnt play much though right?? What was his injury??

[BobPhelan]

He played about as much as the 2021 draftees in Delmarva just at the beginning of the year. Pretty sure it was a back or hip injury, could be healthy in time for the fall league.
