If the Rangers can trade Michael Young (which I would find it hard to believe they can't) then Vlad will be in Texas next season.

If for some reason the Rangers can not find a trade partner for Michael Young, then I think that Vlad would come here, and would come here openly. Just becuase we aren't his #1 choice doesn't mean he wouldn't play hard here.

I think the "Who signs VG?" saga is almost over. I just saw Vlad on CNN driving a white Ford Bronco, getting chased very slowly by Andy MacPhail's limousine. They're headed for Tahrir Square, where tens of thousands of demonstrating Orioles fans are demanding that Vlad leave free agency now and sign with the Orioles. Supporters of Pie and Reimold, riding horses and camels, have attacked the demonstrators, leading to many casualties. So far, Vlad has stayed firm in his resolve to remain a free agent, but there are rumors that Chuck Norris is talking to him about becoming a Texas Ranger.

Or you could keep an open mind and just.. you know.. wait and see what happens.

I was willing to try that but I've decided to just throw in the towel. The O's will be fine without him, I'm tired of trying to figure out how this will play out.

Hey if you want to live in denial about him coming here fine, I'm ready to accept the fact that he's not coming here.

You're being being morose and dramatic. I don't even want Vlad on the team, so I'm certainly not in denial. There's no reason for the Orioles to rush this thing.

I'm not being dramatic I'm just being honest, no games are being played here I'm just calmly expressing my opinion. If he signs somewhere else it is what it is and there will be no I told you so's from me.

Does this "throwing in the towel" actually involve anything? If you've actually given up and aren't interested anymore, shouldn't you be off doing something else?

Because if "throwing in the towel" means posting over and over about how everyone should give up on it happening for no reason, it's like maybe the most annoying thing ever.

Lol this is the second time you've done this...

I'm not in denial, I think we'll be fine starting Pie, so I really don't care whether he comes here or not... Theres just no reason to get all dramatic about it.

      Corbin Burnes 2024

      By Say O! · Posted

      More Corbin Burnes day please. 19 whiffs yesterday for Burnes with curveball generating 5 whiffs (on just 7 swings) and slider generating 7 whiffs (on just 8 swings).  Definitely the best his breaking stuff has looked all year.  Key was starting in zone and dropping out, whereas Burnes had been burying too many into the dirt and not starting the pitches competitively within the zone.  Palmer has mentioned Burnes preference to stay away/away with most offerings, but yesterday Burnes finally seemed to vary location at least a little bit and pitched to more quadrants (sprinkled sinkers in to RHs and cutters in to LHs).  To me that is what made offspeed more effective instead of hitters staying back and looking away/away.

      For all the gnashing of teeth from some about him only going 6 innings every time, he's only 1 inning short of Zack Wheeler who is largely considered the best SP in baseball.

      Gold Glove Infield?

      rWAR is Baseball-Reference (some call it bWAR).  fWAR is Fangraphs.  fWAR now uses OAA as one if its main inputs for defense.   Some people are complete OAA converts and believe it’s vastly superior to the other advanced defensive metrics.  I’m still in the mode of looking at all of them (Fangraphs publishes OAA and it’s old stat UZR, BB-ref publishes Rdrs and Rtot).  If there’s a consensus, I buy it.  If 3 of 4 basically agree, I buy it.  If it’s a split, I go with whichever ones agree with my eye test.   Not exactly scientific but it keeps me sane.

      GM John Mozeliak did a 15-minute sit down with the local NBC affiliate a few days ago - some of what was discussed was TV revenue uncertainty.    It was interesting to compare that with the Orioles partnership having the club and network to maneuver with.

      I happened to see him yesterday.  The game results aren’t on Savant yesterday but I kept looking for this new cutter and kept seeing 96 mph fastballs and sliders.  Pretty sure Savant showed like a 90% cutter usage before that game.  Now it’s down to 66% and shows more of the fastball and curve.   He have up a double to a LH hitter on a slider but looked good overall.   His last pitch was a 12-6 slider/curve which could be a great swing and miss pitch.  The mechanics looked smooth and the fastball command looked good.  I’m just curious if he was throwing cuttters and they break like sliders or he just wasn’t throwing it yesterday.   Maybe @Tony-OH knows?

      Ideal 2025 lineup...

      By EERinthe804 · Posted

      With the infield depth in the Os pipeline, I'm beginning to think that Holiday should get some run in CF to see if he's capable of being Mullins heir apparent.  Mullins currently is under control thru 2025 and would be a FA in 2026.  Currently, the organizational depth at CF isn't great and I believe with Holiday's body type, he could potentially fit in at that position.  I'd like to see next year's non-pitching roster look something like this: C-Rutschman 1B-Mountcastle 2B-Westburg SS-Henderson 3B-Mayo LF-Cowser CF-Holiday RF-Kjerstad Bench - backup catcher, Hays (2026 FA), Mullins (2026 FA), O'Hearn (2026 FA), Mateo (2026 FA)/Norby
