Trembley is too good of a guy to feel good about us crapping the bed.........................however he must feel somewhat vindicated after all the "Buck" hero crap we all participated in. Me included.

I'm thinking the culture will change Buck before the opposite happens.

And another chapter in the long and storied history of the Upper Marlboro Orioles, the single-A unprofessional baseball club from Nowhere, MD, comes to a close.

Right now, I'm cautiously optimistic that the Orioles might finish the season with a statistically better win percentage than the Houston Astros. But my optimism is slowly being eroded by the day. I am expecting the Astros to have a win streak and increase their win percentage by 5% any day now, and drop the Orioles into dead last in the MLB.

This will not be a 45 win year from what I can see. We'll be lucky to hit 40 wins. Hello 1899 Cleveland Spiders, we'd like to join the club of the absolute worst teams ever to call themselves "Major League", and make you guys feel not so lonely, over 100 years later.

I'm sorry, but I'm not even going to participate in the game threads anymore, even if the O's come back and win their next game 30 - 0 and Matusz pitches a perfect game. It'll just turn into a nice 12 game losing streak immediately following, even in the unlikely event that we do win another game before the season ends.

I might come back in 2012 and see how everyone is doing. Enjoy the fall and winter; probably I'll check in around spring training or so. Bye.

Edit: I just texted "STOP OS" to 29292. Hopefully it'll stop the O's from winning another game, so at least I can say "yep, called it".

We'll be here if you change your mind. :)

      FIX THE DANG BULLPEN

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      It would be easy for me to pick through all of the offseason bullpen transactions and find the ones who have worked out thus far and say I told you so. But that is not my point. My point is that we did nothing and have done that repeatedly for some time now. It is a great thing to be careful, cautious, and calculating, but at some point in action begins to cost you.

      You’re willing to trade a blue chip guy for a RP? Who are you thinking?

      He doesn't walk many people, but he doesn't strike people out either and is HR prone. We have enough middling stuff in the pen right now, if he's the big move, it won't be enough.

      I appreciate the statistics that you took the time to lay out from last year's WS TEX. If you believe that is the model for us to try to replicate, then all power to you. I just share a different opinion.  I am not of the hopeless/despair perspective, after all it's only entertainment and real life has far more significant things that can produce those emotions.  However, like you and all other Orioles fans, I would like to see the Orioles compete for and win a WS. And I don't think that we have the talent currently to get there. Our most serious competitor for the AL pennant is the Yankees. IMO we are very close in talent in terms of both Major League rosters. We have better position player depth and a much better minor league talent pool, but they have a far superior bullpen. IMO we should try to use our advantage (position player organizational talent) in order to improve on our weakness, the bullpen, for the purpose of better evening the odds (moving them yo our favor) in a short series against them in the Fall.

      This offensive style is not sustainable

      Seems in the ballpark. Rutschman had a .354 wOBA as a rookie, .352 last year, .352 this year despite the drop in walks.   Those are all very good figures, but I think Adley can be more of a .375 guy once he finds his happy place.

      Just to close the loop on the ball that Mullins couldn't quite catch on Tuesday in St. Louis, Statcast rated it a 20% probability catch.
