The Pop Question is one that I wish the beats would push on a little bit. I realize that you have to be tactful and courteous in order to even have access to the man you wish to interview, but you have to be allowed to ask controversial questions, oh there’s no point to pretending to be anything other than a propaganda mouthpiece. Ask Mike why he preferred all the marginal guys on the 40, who have since been dumped. And get an answer. His answer will be revealing.
Great post!!!!

Maybe it had to do with Pop only pitching 10.2 innings in 2019 and then no innings because of Covid in 2020? Elias might have gambled on Pop's lack of playing time letting let him fly under the radar come the Rule V draft.
No doubt, but not a gamble I would have made.

Scott Garceau must be relieved:

I am still bothered by them not protecting Pop. Will he be an all-time elite closer in the history of the game? Unlikely. But why in the world leave him unprotected when there NUMEROUS options to put him on the 40-man. Just mind boggling for an organization that needs to keep valuable prospects.

Woahhhhh...first off, the Wizards WILL win at least one game. Book it. I think if they win two, that is better than expectations or maybe on par. They played VERY well in game 1. Not going to win the series but let's give them some credit!
Go Wiz!

If the O's get Jack Leiter or Kumar Rocker in the draft next month, they would go to head of the class as potential rotation additions in late 2022 or 2023.
What all of this means is that O's fans can look forward to a much better starting rotation in the future than they have now, but 2023 is a more realistic ETA than 2022.
I agree with this 100%. 2023 and oh boy do I want Leiter!!!!

The book on Kjerstad hasn't even started yet. Are we blaming Elias because he got myocarditis? What if Kjerstad becomes a perennial 40 home run hitter? You can not like the pick if you want but this post is way premature.
I can only personally speak for myself but :
1. I don’t think anyone is “blaming” Elias for myocarditis. That obviously is a straw man. Some have questioned the amount of research/in depth research done with him personally beyond metrics/stats. I think that’s a fair question.
2. I think in a town where the football team’s greatness was built upon drafting the BPA (and I get it, different sport, different draft strategies) AND you put a putrid product on the field while trading away anyone of value….perhaps you should take the BPA and not get too cute. Looks bad from a PR standpoint IMO.

I think Lakins was given a long leash, new blood, let's see what they saw in this pitcher.

He will end up as our 2nd “best” SP this year behind Means.
Not saying much. I still think he is just a bullpen arm, but we don't have anyone better so whatevs!

Picks like Kjerstad should and will get you fired.
Elias has done WORLDS for our player development and pretty much every aspect of our team but that pick was questionable at best. Was disappointed when it happened, before the injury (and again, I fully understand the underslot strategy). It reminded me of Joe Jordan picks, just glad I didn't hear him described as "toolsy". Regardless, MUCH more good than bad for Elias and his tenure but he should get criticism just like anyone else.

Mostly, but not entirely true.
What is terrifying is that we have been living through this hell the last year or more and still people don’t understand basic things about the virus, like how vaccines aren’t 100% or some are still at high risk WITH a vaccine and need to wear a mask at all times. Sometimes I wonder what year it is when we are debating the merits of vaccines & masks during an airborne virus. Endless nightmare.

According to tankathon we have the 2nd toughest remaining schedule left with a .521 win percentage remaining. Arizona is the toughest with .529 remaining, so I like our chances to finish in the bottom 3.
So Elias can take the 10th/15th best player? Thrilling.

At the game last night and I said wait until the 5th, Nats will score. I like Lopez but clearly a middle reliever. However, Orioles giving him a very long leash because tankathon. Overall, not a bad line but got to go deeper.

Please tell us anything you can about Jon Miller, Nelson C. He was incredible.
Also, did not the incident with Ripken being late for the flight occur while Frank Wren was GM; thus after Davey Johnson years>\?
It’s a long personal story that I can’t share on a public forum but knew the situation well when it happened and even saw him a day or two before he left. He had many personal reasons for staying. He wanted to stay more than anything, that I can share with you. He was terribly broken hearted to leave Baltimore for a variety of reasons.

Lots of information.
Lots of political propaganda too like the paragraph about Epstein.
Still broken hearted about Jon Miller. I knew him. He was also heartbroken to leave. Just an absolute tragedy IMHO.

Last time I checked he was last in the league in pitch framing. He has allowed a ton of Wild pitches and he's at 9% CS.
Do you have the link to the pitch framing stats? I’d love to see that honestly.

You haven’t seen much of Severino on defense, have you?
LOL. There is more to defense than passed balls. How you call a game, caught stealing %, etc.

His level of effort doesn't seem to bother Hyde.
I don’t agree with the general consensus on this thread. I think Pedro is a much better all-around catcher than Cisco. Calling him “lazy” bothers me & seems bizarre at best. Both have flaws of course. Pedro would be a terrific backup for any mlb club.
I know catcher ERA is quite controversial but curious if you take Means out, what they look like, my guess is Pedro is much better.

I just want to know if the "Patty Melt" is as good as they were all pumping the other night. I looked at the new items and the roast beef sammie sounded much better. Curious if anyone has had either.

I counted 4 names he got wrong yesterday and 3 so far today but I was working and not fully paying attention in this blowout. That is nuts. You can't get that many names wrong on a daily basis.

How long can this go on?
Chance Sisco 180/255/220/474
Norfolk catchers:
Austin Wynns 344/432/563/995
Brett Cumberland 320.404/540/944
Sisco has an option.
How is Cumberland's glove work/throwing out runners? I saw him a bit in Bowie but not enough to remember much obviously. How does he project? Regardless, I would love to see someone replace Sisco.
