    Yeah I hear you.  Look at Arrieta and Gausman.  I dont know if they messed with Gausman that much but I hear stuff from Arrieta that they pushed him to make changes that did not help him at all.   

    Mayb this might give some insight on Gausman's tenure in Baltimore. According to Caleb Joseph:

    32 out of the last 57 games will be against the AL East. Pretty brutal, but doable.

    I think it's a good thing. It puts our destiny in our hands considering 3 of those teams are currently in playoff position.

    I remember two years ago Brett Gardner suddenly went on a random power binge, hitting 11 in the first two months of the year.   He ended up with a career high 21, a lot for a guy with 103 homers in 12 years though not quite as extreme as the Boggs example.    

    Check out Phil Bradley's career. Specifically '84 and '85.

    It’s pouring near Westminster. If this heads towards Baltimore watch out.

    Get out of this inning clean. 

    Only the O's could possibly screw this up.

     

    EDIT: They didn't.

    These players are on a pace for:

    Mancini  120 R, 30 HR  331/385/576/961

    Nunez 85 R, 30 HR, 90 RBI

    Smith   100 R, 25 HR, 105 RBI   847 OPS

    Severino    20 HR, 854 OPS

    Villar  100 R,  35 SB

    Cashner   20-5

     

    Hard to believe this team will lose 100 games with stats like this. My guess is the stats won't look like this at the end of the season.

    Could Glasnow's success be due to change of scenery?  His numbers in Pittsburgh weren't that great. Maybe Tampa Bay got lucky on that one.

    Tampa got Meadows and Baz in the deal. Even if they got lucky, they still made out like bandits. With that said, Glasnow was a mega prospect with  only control issues. If he was considered a throw in, that's a steal. We ended up trading Gausman for lottery tickets anyway.

    Do you think so?  I heard that Gausman was chained at the hip with O’Day. 

    The Pirates were interested in Gausman and Archer according to rumors.  If that was true, I would think that Glasnow could have at least been acquired because it seemed as if the Pirates were down on him at the time. Now, if the dealbreaker was taking on O'Day aswell, then the Orioles messed up in lowering Gausman's value.  I still think we could have acquired Glasnow for Gausman straight up and maybe acquired another piece(s) in the process. Glasnow's issues were only in control. His stuff was still top notch at the time. His control issues have seemed to have vanished. To be able to acquire a pitcher with his ceiling and pedigree for Gausman is a deal you make. It wasn't as if Gausman was lighting the league on fire at the time.

    Here’s a query for the crowd:

    If we traded Cobb for nothing, just got rid of his salary, would that be worth doing? We wouldn’t get anything back but we’d be free of the remaining ~40 million.

    I think that would be worth it because I don't envision him bringing back anything of value. The problem is, I don't see anyone taking on his salary right now.

  9. I think last seasons assets had more value than this season. Givens, might end up having the most value of the bunch if he can perform between now and the deadline. Teams often overpay for bullpen help at the deadline. As far as guys like Cashner and Cobb, that solely depends on what else is available.
