This was in the minors, but Jhosmer Alvarez put up an unusual line in this game ( https://www.milb.com/gameday/66ers-vs-rawhide/2024/04/23/756581/final/box )
1.0 IP 6 KThe two pitchers before him threw 3.0 IP each. Then he threw 1.0 IP. The guy who came in after him let two inherited runs score. It's a mess.

Actually, all I know is Rickey Henderson slid head-first, and Rickey stole 1406 bases in the majors and 251 more in the minors and played 30 years and as Rickey will tell you Rickey was right.

Rickey knows Rickey was right!

Jackson Holliday is only mentioned once but the whole thing revolves around "what next" for special savants...

10-4 while he's been on the team. I would have carried him a bit longer. But woof is an understatement. Here's to better days ahead for Jax!
-
Triple-slash as a team: .192/.266/.292. "Good" for a .558 OPS.

I think HOU will pick it up when some SPs get healthy.
NYM has the horses and the motive, but they've been a grab bag of results. Ottavino is having a career year but if they are selling, he's a potential.

It’s April and he’s thrown 13 innings. I imagine if he throws 2-4 more starts like the last two he’ll get a quick promotion to Aberdeen.
Yeah, the limited IP so far is small. But it feels like he's not at the right level of competition. Of course it's also as much competing against himself (pitch shape, location, etc. that the team tracks) as against the hitters too. Like you mentioned elsewhere, he's younger than DeLeon.

They are also giving up a ton of runs and the bullpen is atrocious for the most part. The pythag argument will still be there this year.
All of that is a fair argument. But the upside X factor on the yoots in question is there too.

A lot of teams are pretty injured and have worse depth than us. I'm not saying that's the reason, but it's a reason to believe maybe we can maintain our offense throughout the season better than other teams.
I have to think SP injuries across the league has more impact than injured hitters. In theory, it should increase runs/game across the league. But as @Say O!said, CHW, MIA...
-
I'd like to see him promoted soon to see how his limited # of bullets perform this year against better competition.
-
All offseason some were fretting the 1-run wins, pythag, no Bautista, etc. I didn't think it would be as crazy as our concerns because our hitters are on their ascent or have high floors.
Will the 2027 Orioles supplant the 1927 Yankee lore?

What makes you so confident he would accept? If he is coming off 3 years of what he’s done the last 2? I’ve mentioned in other posts that he’s younger and a better defender than both soler and Hernandez, who are similar offensive profiles. If he performs as well as last year, or better, I’d be shocked if he doesn’t have a market value higher than 1 yr 20mm. Tho the QO would hurt his market value.
If the QO hurts his market, that could increase the.likelihood of him accepting. Then he can't be QO'd the next year.
As Emmett said, he's pretty close currently. So 2024 will influence the teams and his decision.

Not all that different than other calls not overturned recently
That's what I was thinking too. Tough break for the LAA.

So what's the rule on "tanking"? Low payroll? Glad we aren't there anymore, but, also why I'm unfamiliar with what's going on.
It's when a large market (non-revenue sharing recipient team) finishes low in the standings, it limits their draft slot. Hard to differentiate between sucking on purpose or more organic reasons... but the large market teams can at least band-aid the issue with money.

There is no rule. It's determined in the court of public opinion at mediated by the high priests of the media.

You take the hitters and just get a pitching staff that strikes everyone out.

I would take the hitter, you can hide the poor defense but you can't hide the hitter.
And that's why you have pitchers. Especially if you're targeting K%.

I'm going with two mids, a fat and a skinny.
Anyone gets that reference, I'll buy you a beer if I ever see you at Camden Yards.
It's a video game reference. But can't even picture the game.

Using HS logic: hitters play.

Well if he's as good as Todd Helton was, he won't be down any list of our best hitters, unless we are employing the AL Allstar team.
I'm not sure how familiar that you are with who Todd Helton was. But he was a career .316 hitter with a .414 on base and a .953 OPS. Of course he played his home games at Coors, but that is still kind of like amazingly awesome.
Simmer down... Just because you've got it all figured out doesn't mean I do.

I like the Todd Helton comp for Kjerstad in the video. Totally can see that. (Not saying Heston is a HOFer haha)
I'm here for that ride! Especially if he's down the list of our best hitters!

4/26: Bradish Has A Solid Start, Delmarva Wins
in Minors

Good stuff on the farm yesterday!
Creed's HR was a laser! Of course Bradish and Bright!
Looked like Acevedo would have been out at 3B with a more accurate throw.
Silas might have a ML future!
