Teams are aware of the TTTOP. They don't generally want pitchers out there past the fifth. That's what the game has become. There has been exactly one season in this millennium that had a pitcher throw double digit complete games. Pretty often the league leader throws 2-3.

From r/baseball:

Says the guy still under 50.

When you see r/... it refers to the website Reddit.

I bet you could for 600M but Angelos is probably going to want in stadium gambling instead.

Seems odd the Yankees wouldn't have tried that.

It makes sense if you look at from the viewpoint of Elias' main goal this season as being to delay service clocks. Now is it to save money? Try and stagger the service time to maximize competitive window? He said from the start that the team's goal this year wasn't to win the division.

r/baseball is pretty good. r/orioles...isn't.

Would make for an interesting post game interview in a different market.

Right, the error was in not trusting Henderson to be able to score on that.

I know Adele 19, 21, 25 and 30. Never heard of Adele 1-17? Behind the scene recordings before she got a record deal? Sounds intriguing.

Not a smart one.

They can get out the bricks and make the wall higher.

We need him around to teach the young ones how to play the game the right way.

That is harder to find out than I figured it would be. I'm not interested enough to do a deep dive so I tapped out when a couple quick searches didn't pan out.

He's a LF/DH the offensive bar for him should be higher.

I'm a Mountcastle supporter but yea, he needs to get some results before he comes up.

I don't want someone that makes a lot of outs as my bench bat. He's not a good hitter. When the game is on the line I don't want the guy off the bench to have an 84 OPS+. And how am I attacking anyone? I'm providing evidence. He doesn't have any plus tools at this stage in his career.

He's got an OBP of 284. That means he makes a ton of outs.

What value does Frazier have coming off the bench? He's got an OPS+ of ...let me check...it's gone down again....84. How is that good? I guess if you need a lefty on the bench that might run one over the wall you can run him out there but I don't think he's a good option. His defense and speed is poor.

You are 100% correct and I question how valid a strategy that is. At some point there will be a cost and I think it will be greater than the cost of losing a struggling vet.

Sorry, it's your thread. I've just been providing most of the content. Honest mistake didn't mean to try and usurp any of your internet glory.

But is that value worth keeping someone like Frazier or Mateo around? I personally expect the coaches on the team to ...well..you know...coach.

I think the value is often overestimated. These are older prospects.

The Reds lost 100 games last year. (To date this season the O's and Reds have had almost identical average attendance.)
