Feel free to wear hardygod sig buzzins.


Speaking of Hardy ... I really hope they get him extended. I haven't had an actual jersey for years and I would love to get his as he is my favorite player on the team.

Btw, sig is sick thanks for letting use :)

This is what I'm hoping happens in the 2nd half of the season for the O's (it's a long list).

Hardy is extended to a 3 year deal.
Guthrie, Koji, Vlad, and Lee are all traded.
Scott is either somehow traded when he returns for a young relief prospect (think the Aubrey Huff to Detroit trade) or someone claims him off waivers.
Reimold plays LF full time. No platooning with Pie and no losing playing time once Scott returns. Let him finish the rest of the season in LF full time regardless if he struggles.
Bundy and Delmonico are both signed, as well as the rest of the top 10 picks that haven't been signed yet.
Reynolds calms down at 3B and quits rushing throws while he keeps hitting bombs like he did to end the 1st half. If he can limit the errors and get to 35+ HR I'll be happy with him at 3B going into next year.
Roberts sits out the rest of the year. This guy can't get out of bed without stubbing his toe, no need for him to play meaningless games. Let him get 100% for next year.
Josh Bell gets called up once Lee is traded and plays some 1B. His problem is much like Reynolds, he rushes the throw for no reason and often can't control the throw. His glove was great in ST at 1B, give him a shot. If not him maybe you give Mahoney a look? Not sure on that one though, Mahoney would be rushed but is the best 1B in the minors we have. I guess realistically it would be Snyder if anyone but I'd like to see Bell get another shot in the bigs regardless of his horrible K/BB ratio in AAA this season.
Felix Pie gets cut from the team and Matt Angle comes up as the 4th OF. I know Angle isn't doing much in AAA stat wise but he can run the bases great and plays a great defense, two things Pie is terrible at.
Britton stays in AA for 2 weeks for service time issues and then comes back up to the team and pitches well.
Matusz regains his velocity and makes it back to Baltimore by the end of the season. Same with Tillman but I have lost all hope for Tillman.
Bobby Bundy gets called up to AA.
Schoop gets back on track at Frederick and finishes the year strong. With a strong finish he may crack a few top 50 prospect lists for next season.
Machado gets back on track and finishes the year strong enough to make them consider starting him at AA next season.
Give JJ some rest ... he has the most IP amongst relievers so far and it's starting to show.

I hope they can package Guthrie + another player or two and get themselves a legit prospect at 1B, 2B, or LF. I'm not sure if it is possible but the only thing MacPhail is good at is trading so maybe he can pull it off.
Koji has so many innings this year that I worry about him breaking down in the 2nd half, trade him while his value is at his highest IMO.
Lee and Vlad both are wasting roster spots, try and ship them off for the best offer you can get. Even if it is for a young reliever like the Huff to Detroit trade a few years ago that would be good enough. Don't forget, Jacobson (or w/e his name was) was then turned around to Minnesota in the Hardy deal.

I'm sure I missed a few thoughts. I tried to stay away from the typical "I hope Nick keeps hitting, I hope Jones starts hitting better, I hope this guy starts hitting better" etc but ofc I had to mention a few.

I usually get seats in Section 44 (behind home plate),
but anywhere is good. Section 4 and 6 are great too.
