At least Young's criminal record was wiped so he can get in and out of Canada easily.

I'm sure someone better than Delmon Or Nolan will occupy that slot come September 1. Encarnacion went down and that is the only reason Nolan was claimed.

Especially with Delmon striking out.

You know I don't play that game.

You don't know that there was a connection. Even if there was Nolan > whomever they were going to call up. Or maybe it saved them trading a prospect for a replacement. Not bad for 500K.

Really should have bet more against those folks that thought reimold would go unclaimed. Out of all the 29 teams that he could go to this is basically the worst case scenario for us.

What have we been hearing the last few years about the lack of right handed power?

      Kremer is due for Regression

      By dzorange · Posted

      Does anyone think Kremer is more than a #4 or a #5 for this team? I don’t think he’d regress beyond that. He’s an MLB level starting pitcher. But he’s a 4 or a 5. When Bradish and Means were injured, and Kremer needed to perform like a #3, this could have been an issue. But between him and Irvin rounding out the rotation, I’m not concerned right now.

      Is the 2024 team better than 2023’s?

      By dzorange · Posted

      O’Hearn is another guy who should be mentioned. I think many of us thought that he was a guy who would regress this year and be usurped by one of the many young prospects. He and Mountcastle have provided much more beef in the middle of the lineup than expected. Especially with a Santander who has yet to get going. O’Hearn seems here to stay. This team is better than last year’s team. That was something I thought heading into the season even with the Bradish injury. I think the rotation is just that much better and there’s more talent with the position players. But winning more games is another thing. I took the under on wins before the season. Looks like I’m going to be wrong on that one. I don’t know if they’ll match last year’s win total, but I have more confidence in this team come playoff time.

      Maybe if all of those guys start hitting, we might not need a closer as much as we will be up by alot more going into the ninth.

      Offense is down in MLB this year — but not in Baltimore

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      Just bumping this thread for an update. As a team we are still 3rd in runs scored and 3rd in OPS at .751. Looking up at the Dodgers and Brewers, with Braves right behind us. (Last year we were #7). We are also #6 in ERA, up one spot from #7 last year (#3 in WHIP and tied for #1 in BB allowed). Sports Guy will be disappointed we are only #11 in K's. The teams ahead of us are BOS, SEA, NYY, DET, and PHI, so we are the only team in MLB in the top six in runs scored and ERA.  Unlike previous years where we have had to outperform our run differential, this year we are +45, second only to the Dodgers. At a high level, this is a very, very good team.

      Jackson Baumeister 2024

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      He had his start pushed back the other day because of an illness.  Possible he was still feeling some effects of that and/or the schedule change through him off a little bit.

      Yep.  Rotation is better if it stays healthy (massive fingers crossed).  Grayson and Povich are around, too. If/when some of Santander, Mullins, Hays, Kjerstad, Holliday, Mayo start producing the offense should look really good. Replacing Bautista is impossible but I still want another power arm for the pen, though hopefully Wells replaces Baumann at some point.

      Kremer is usually pretty average with an awful game thrown in once in awhile. I know it’s an intentional reverse jinx thread but you never know with Kremer.
