Valentine is an odd duck. Maybe he has issues with Bucholtz and this is his way of getting back at him ala Aceves. Really it's just Pedroia though. Elsbury the LH bat might have poor splits vs CC.

214 BA, 281 OBP, 357 SLG versus Sabathia. Not good but not like his sub 300 OPS against Joba Chamberlain either.

As bad as Bobby is I don't see him doing this to be a jerk. I remember the trainers looking at Pedroia yestersday, it might have been after Matt gunned him out. Ellsbury has benn hurting for awhile. I am not saying this makes me feel any better though.

Any chance he is trying to show Pedroia up for the kind of stupid play of running right then?

I guess. But it is still amazingly weak sauce. Valentine should love the Orioles..................... we got him his job this year.

I bet he is still mad he couldnt bait us into a bean ball war. That is probably what he wanted this series. If I was in charge he would of had the war. But brighter minds prevailed. We have bigger fish to fry.

Wasn't Bobby Valentine the Orioles choice before Showalter? And I recall Eric Wedge was their second choice? Oh how karma can be a blessing and a bastard. Just ask the former.

Funny.

Last year I seem to recall a certain last place team, long out of the race, who throughly enjoyed playing spoiler.

I mean, if the Sox were playing the First Place--I don't know, Rays or Blue Jays--, okay then fine. I get it. You want revenge for our spoiling 2011.

But these are the Yankees, guys. Aren't you supposed to despise them with a heat of a thousand suns?

I really don't like Bobby V.

They're looking at the youth, and to see what they have to build with. Really can't blame them. The Red Sox aren't thinking about the Orioles or Yankees at this point.

That said, I wouldn't mind getting Mike Avilles from them to play 2B next year.

Buck could have played the C-squad vs. Boston last year to end the season but has enough integrity and respect for the game that in a situation where it determines the outcome of the playoffs he put his best foot forward. Joe Maddon thanked Buck and the Orioles for their professionalism in his press conference after game 162. We won't hear Buck saying anything like that at the end of this series, that's for sure.

If they want to look at rookies, well that's what Spring Training is for.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By jabba72 · Posted

      Gunnar's definitely looking like the MVP of the Orioles and looks like priority #1 to me to get an extension. Burnes age works against him, because the O's maybe don't want to go longer than 5-6 years at most, but I could be wrong there. The Witt extension kind of set the parameters of what Gunnar will probably want at minimum. 2025 25 Kansas City Royals $8,111,111     2026 26 Kansas City Royals $14,111,111     2027 27 Kansas City Royals $20,111,111     2028 28 Kansas City Royals $31,111,111     2029 29 Kansas City Royals $36,111,111     2030 30 Kansas City Royals $36,111,111     2031 31 Kansas City Royals *$35,000,000   $35M Player Option 2032 32 Kansas City Royals *$35,000,000   $35M Player Option 2033 33 Kansas City Royals *$35,000,000   $35M Player Option 2034 34 Kansas City Royals *$35,000,000   $35M Player Option 2035 35 Kansas City Royals *$33,000,000   $33M Team Option 2036 36 Kansas City Royals *$28,000,000   $28M Team Option 2037 37 Kansas City Royals *$28,000,000   $28M Team

      It is probably thin because of the short career lifespan is for those positions, which is why there is no way Mullins should be extended.

      Gunnar Henderson's splits through first 97 ABs of the season:   Home -- .326 / .385 / .630 Away -- .294 / .362 / .667 Vs. LH -- .324 / .395 / .622 Vs. RH -- .300 / .358 / .667

      I don't think the point was to trash Holliday but to question the reliability of the metric. I share the question about Holliday's OAA. He hasn't been bad but I can't think of a single plus play and OAA thinks he is the best defender on the team.

      It probably makes the most financial sense to extend Gunnar first and probably sooner rather than later. If he continues in this trajectory he may be headed for the MVP. If that happens then you probably don’t have much chance to extend unless it’s for a 300- 500 million type deal.

      He’s really matured as a SP with his pitch mix. He did that yesterday without his curveball. He tried to get the curveball going with Renfigo but ended up walking him.

      I think that Trout HR shook GR a bit and he never really got settled in. That and he had his worst command of the season.  He will be alright. It happens.
