Because Reynolds is making $7.5 mm and Davis is making $500 k. If Davis were making Reynolds' salary he'd be judged much more harshly. Also, his HR and RBI stats still carry weight with a lot of people.

I doubt the casual fans who complain about Reynolds the loudest care much about salaries in general. Anyone who believes RBI carry a lot of weight can be referred to simply as "idiots".

The people who complain most about Reynolds are very "old school" for the most part, caring more about BA and K's than OBP. Exactly the group that would consider RBI to have a lot of meaning.

He may not end up with 40. But if he stays hot, 25-30 is quite possible.
Can he get to .800? What would it take?
Roughly a .950-1.000 OPS the rest of the way.
An OPS over 1.000

Sounds silly to say/think at this point in the season, but he's capable of it because of his power and keen eye when he's on. Reynolds can be a devastating offensive power when he's locked in. Hopefully we can rely on him contributing for the stretch run. I'd still keep batting him 7th or 8th though. We get runners on base throughout the lineup, so it really doesn't matter where he hits.

I've been a Reynolds fan since we got him, and have defended him all year. He seems like a cool dude, who you want to see do well. He has solidified 1b, and who would have thought our defensive problems seem to be a thing of the past. Reynolds is more than capable of putting up a 10-15 hr month. I wouldn't be shocked if he ended up in the 30 hr range. Im gonna predict he ends up with 28. And I'll take that in the stretch run. Other than Jones, Mark is the only other guy on this team that can carry this team on his back offensively imo.

From May 14 to July 5 last year, a stretch of 46 games, Reynolds had a 1.057 OPS and hit 17 homers. There are 46 games to play, and that is what Reynolds is capable of doing in a stretch that long. Wouldn't it be amazing if he went on a tear like that? This thread would be 1,000 pages long if he did.

I hoped that post would kickoff a Frobby Fact Finding Mission (F3M). Nice pull.

It's amazing how good he is when he's good and how bad he is when he's bad. Really the ultimate Luke Scott. (LOL) He could put us on his back and carry us to a Wild Card almost single handedly.

      It will be a bitter pill to swallow if we end up a couple games worse than NYY and this tabulator imagines they got 50 net runs of help. Sig Mejdal would probably be only to happy to do some pro bono case preparation on behalf of Rob Manfred and David Rubenstein. I do kind of think if/when robo-umps come, Orioles bats may enjoy a short-term preparedness advantage.

      Extension Priorities

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      Mayo and Basallo are the only non-Boras, non-pitchers who will debut at a young enough age that you’d be buying out free agent years before age 30. As much as I’d like to extend Gunnar, Holliday etc., I think those are the most likely candidates. But they have such big question marks about the defensive value they will provide that it might be pretty hard finding the right number. You don’t want to be paying them as a 3B/C when they end up a 1B/DH. And I also don’t expect to Orioles to do an extension before they get some MLB exposure under their belts. Just this year, the Keith and Rafaela extensions are looking really rough and showing the risks to that approach, and I’m going to assume the Orioles will remain very risk averse to guaranteed money until proven otherwise.

      After last night's brutal hose job from Laz Diaz, the Orioles are now last in the league in TotFav.  We've lost almost 8 net runs to umpire mistakes this season.

      There are quite a few occasions in MLB history of teams taking the right path and the wrong path. Early contracts have risk but by far greatest reward. Atlanta Braves have locked up most of there stars. Acuna, Olsen, Albies, Riley, Strider, Murphy, Harris. Its cost them money up front but will be massive savings down the road. Acuna on the open market would net 50 million per year for over 14 years. They are paying him 12.5 million per season. There are teams like the Nationals who let Harper, Soto, Turner all walk because of ownership and not early intervention. People were saying it was stupid for Juan Soto to turn down Nats contract. He will get more this offseason for sure. Also the Nats were in that situation because they had talks 1.5 years left on the contract.    Contract order for me would go Gunnar-by far number 1, already comparable deal with Witt Jr. Has to get done, Has to be lifelong Oriole Westburg- Not something crazy but buying out arbitration years something like 7-8 years 80-100 million Bradish-something that pays off arbitration and pays 2-3 years free agency. Burnes- Frontloaded contract where first 4 years are majority of pay. Most of our payroll increase comes in 4 years when Adley hits free agency.    I would continue to monitor Holiday.   Adley is a wait and see. He will be a 30 year old catcher. Have to see how Basallo progresses in next year.

      Ex-post, the missed third strike on Siani was the most impactful mistake--it put the game out of reach.  I think that UmpireScorecards measure "impact" ex-ante--at the time of the mistake (before the next pitch), which mistake led to a bigger change in the expected number of extra runs scored going forward?  I think Siani was still 1-2 after the mistake, so ex ante it was not likely that he would have a successful at bat even after the blown call.  While I think Gorman was 3-2, so it was more likely that he would have a productive at bat after the blown call.

      Before even getting into ballpark dimensions and quality of talent, PCL teams often play at altitude (Reno, Vegas, Salt Lake, El Paso, Albuquerque) and several others are in Texas (Houston, Round Rock) which makes the ball fly.
