We have to hit Jeter tomorrow if we get a good lead.

I would rather hit Cano. It will also be much easier to pul off for Britton as a lefty coming in against a lefty. Britton hitting Jeter will look much more blatantly obvious and run the risk of an ejection.

If the team has any pride, someone will get hit tomorrow and I fully support it. Fat CC's reaction to Nick getting hurt is unacceptable, and you have to protect your guys regardless.

Here's what we do. Score 40 runs and start stealing bases. Then in the 9th inning bring in Gregg and start beaning some players. Then when the brawl starts we wait for them to come out with their walkers and canes and take it from them and watch them flop around on the ground.

Personally I think they should hit more than Jeter. They whine every time someone comes inside to them. It's just like taking crap from a bully. If you keep letting them do it they'll never stop. It's time to let them know the Orioles aren't putting up with their crap anymore. Pick your spots and drill them.

    • Everything revolves around the health of the player. I think Gunnar has more. I think the collision with Mateo set Gunnar back and affected him in ways we will never know. I'm no mind specialist but Gunnar is young plays all out, and that had to bother him. I've watched that collision a number of times. No fault - just two players going all out and one is finished for the year. It just so happened that Gunnar got the yips and his batting went south soon thereafter. Maybe a coincidence but I think we will see a rejuvenated Gunnar next year and all stops are off. 
    • I’m not so sure the bolded part is true. I think a lot of that last bit can have to do with small skills: situational hitting/running, above average play in close games, generally things that can be boiled down to “luck.” I didn’t see this years team as having a major talent discrepancy from the 2023 version.
    • As great as Gunnar is can’t assume he matches last year. That said I like the odds of the team as a whole matching what we did. 
    • The real improvement of this team will come from within.    The 3-5 players they bring in from outside the org will supplement the roster…maybe put it over the top but the real improvement will come from those already in the org.
    • Yeah. -Would love to keep Burnes but I seriously doubt it. -I have a lot of faith in Adley.  - Holliday has huge ceiling even if he isn’t ready to be elite.  - doesn’t always work this way but the better your closer is tends to help rest of pen 
    • Nice OP. Thanks for the effort. Like the chart. Surprised it hasn't received much response. You sum up a lot of what I hope for as well. I'd add: I think a full - healty year of Westy will be even more valuable. I think Gunnar has even more in the tank. I want - hope that Holliday can develop into the lead off hitter and OBP table setter we need. And, I so want Cowser to cut down on strike outs and continue to develop as a professional hitter. I think he has the potential to cover for the loss of Santander while Big K develops on the right side. A lot to hope for but I believe these youngsters have a lot of potential yet to tap. And oh yes - I want Mayo to make Roy and all of us proud! Thanks again for the effort! I look at pitching as if we have a base. I agree with your points 1 and 2.
