Interesting.

Good grief! I am at work and last time I checked the O's had a six run lead and seemed to be totally cruising. I'm so, so glad I wasn't following the game when they blew the lead. My place of work would not tolerate a screaming, total meltdown rant.

Heck, a team might kick in a glove-only SS just to make the deal happen.

If the Mateo injury significantly alters Elias' actions at the deadline, then Elias is not nearly as smart as I thought. That would be an extreme tail-wagging-the-dog move IMO.

I totally agree. The Orioles have been a blast the past couple of years. I do not want another decade or almost decade of crap baseball.

I stopped watching the All Star game years ago. It was more fun when it was closer to being a real baseball game. As the broadcast-related b.s started to take over there were lots of missed at bats, etc. It became more and more like the crappy spring training broadcasts where they spend way too much broadcast time chatting with people in the broadcast booth, interviewing coaches and other players in the dugout, etc., and very little time really paying attention to the game. Just not fun IMO.

Are you worried about Mayo’s k rate at Norfolk? It’s actually slightly higher than Colton’s strikeout rate at Norfolk last year. If not, then are you gaslighting other posters?

I was just joking. I think he’s a pretty good dude (but who really knows).

Judge is such a jerk.

They are fifth in all of baseball in runs per game.

I didn’t realize until recently that Norby strikes out so much. He’s got a 28% strikeout rate. The whole Tides team strikes out a lot, but his numbers stick out a bit.

I was definitely joking around, but I bet the combined career WAR of several if not the majority of teams top ten will be less than the WAR the Orioles get out of Henderson. ps. The entire top ten of a team, not the ten lists of multiple teams. Is that clear? My sleep gummy is kicking in, I’m in a legal state, and, well, grammar and writing clarity is getting challenging.

Elias has to get off his butt and trade him. Peak trade value now.

Directly the opposite of how much experience the “voters” really have with these prospects. Fairly predictable. I bet 99% of the people voicing an opinion have never watched a full game that Basallo has played. Almost the same for Mayo, but they have seen more highlights and know a little more about his weaknesses.

He recently suffered from an unspecified "illness". I wonder if he's having vertigo issues again. I hope not.
