Shouldn't be a big surprise to most of us fans. :)

Machado enters tonight?s game against the Diamondbacks with a 300/.350/.546 slash line, including 39 doubles, one triple, 36 home runs, 93 RBIs and 103 runs scored. He?s already set career highs in home runs and RBIs.

Machado has eight game-winning RBIs and has hit five game-winning home runs. He?s tied for sixth in the majors with 76 extra-base hits and tied for ninth with 39 doubles.

Congrats Manny!

By both mainstream versions of WAR Manny was worth more than twice any other Oriole position player, and at least a full Jonathan Schoop more than any Oriole pitcher.

I find the support for Tillman existing in the same reality as the lack of support for Gausman amusing.

Did you know that they have both thrown 166.1 innings this season?

How many losing streaks did Chris end? I also thought I saw voting took place in early September.

Chris didn't end any of them, the team did.

As for voting, I wasn't talking about voting, I was talking about the comments from posters in this thread.

Same number of innings and aside from W/L you can easily make the case Gausman had the better year. Not saying he is more deserving of attention just that I was amused by what I was looking at.

Starting pitcher doesn't play a big role in ending those streaks? Gausman has made a late push no question.

I am not the biggest WAR person that said Trumbo is overvalued to me. Yes, he was a big part of the 1st half surge but his defense has limited his value all year. Taking about the voters here not this thread.

I think too much is outside of the pitcher's control to give them an abundance of credit or blame.

It's not really arguable.

Having said that, I feel Manny has been pressing lately. He's only walked 7 times in the last two months and has fallen into some bad habits at the plate.

I was being Greedy Gus but I was hoping, with the way he started the year, that this was going to be a 9 win season for Manny.

At the 81-game mark, Manny had been worth 4.1 rWAR. He's currently at 6.7, so "only" 2.6 in the last 72 games. Whether or not we make the playoffs, I think he's probably out of the running for MVP, though he still might make the top 5.

      John Means 2024

      By foxfield · Posted

      You mean the Montgomery who had a 9.0 ERA AGAINST US in the playoffs and still won?  Yeah. Bud you keep beating this horse, but as it turned out the Orioles didn't pitch, hit or play def the same way in the playoffs.  IF they had done that, perhaps it would have proven that the pitching was the reason the 23 playoffs ended for the O's.  I mean I agree that I wish we had gotten Montgomery.  But if Grayson pitched against Texas the way he pitched against Tampa or Wash in his last two starts...at the very least the O's do not get swept.  And maybe they get on a roll.  We don't know. We do know that the best hitter for the Orioles in the playoffs last year was Jorge Mateo who outhit the entire team in one game (except Gunnar) going 4-5 in Game 3.  That kinda tells you something. And not specifically to your point, but even though Bradish exited game one in 4.2 innings, he outlasted Heaney for the Rangers.  Game one comes down to the Jacob Webb HR, otherwise the bull pen does good work.  Win Game 1 and well everything looks different.  It didn't.  But not because of the point you consistently make that the Orioles failed to get a starter like Montgomery.   They failed to perform pretty widely.  As is won't to do in a three game series. Simply repeating it over and over, doesn't make it so.

      True. When Means gets activated off of the IL is ERA will be 0.00. He’s not going to get handed a rotation spot, but I think he’ll replace Tate in the pen.  I do wonder about the AAA defense. The IF seems really shaky and if Norby/Kjerstad are the everyday COF then oh my.

      Kjerstad Joining Team

      By baltfan · Posted

      First game up this season.  He played a whole 2 games in the field in the MLB last year and might have been a little nervous that it is a sign that the team doesn't trust him in the field.

      I wonder if Kjerstad will be back in Norfolk when the team returns to Baltimore.

      3/15 base is the rumor, which breaks down to a 2/12.2 extension after his rookie deal expires.  That's an absolute steal, and even with a huge amount of incentives, I can't believe the Ravens got him to sign this cheaply.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      Anyone notice him smiling as he got into the box for his final at bat?   I think he was feeling a little better about life after making solid contact twice in a row.

      I would feel better about this game if he would foul off a few close ones with 2 strikes-like Kjerstad did last night-instead of just watching them go by. Take those pitches on the outside to the opposite field.  If your expecting 1 pitch but get another, fight it off. I'd be happy with another hit before another 15 ABs go by. Maybe throw in a few 95+ EV in there too.
