1) I don't ever give a crap about the Yankees 2) Over the last four years or so I've paid a lot more attention to Sasha Mölders and Erik Lamela than whomever the Orioles were trotting out there to get the #1 overall draft pick. -

Pretty sure the success of that team was due to Steve Lombardozzi and Jimmy Paredes. -

There are like a million web pages and books and Twitter feeds about the last 100 years of baseball. Gotta concentrate on stuff that hasn't been beaten to death forever. Nobody in their right mind would rather watch 30 seconds of that pompus, overwraught Jeter miniseries than learn more about Lip Pike. -
Another post you made, from the McKenna thread: @Frobby mentioned Bedard in the thread about Hall. My opinion is that he’s not ready and can’t believe that the Orioles think he is. Erik Bedard: before call up ERA 2.79, WHIP 1.03, HR/9 0.5, BB/9 1.9 Hall: ERA 4.52, WHIP 1.43, HR/9 1.2 , BB/ 9 5.2 **** Stats are from BBref Bedard 2003 combined minors, Hall 2022 combined.***** === I think you misconstrued my hypothetical about Bedard. I was not commenting on whether Hall is as ready as Bedard or not. I was asking a truly hypothetical question: if you knew a pitcher would need to struggle as a starter for two years against major league hitters in order to adjust and become pretty dominant in year 3, would you install him as a starter even if you knew he’d be hurting your (otherwise contending) team somewhat in the first two years? So, I’m curious about your answer to that purely hypothetical question. Now, as to the comparison between Bedard and Hall, it’s pretty much apples and oranges. The year before he made the majors, Bedard was recovering from TJ surgery. The stats you cited above were only over 19.1 IP, and all at A+ or below. You can’t compare that to Hall’s 2022, where he’s thrown a lot more innings, mostly at AAA. it was a huge surprise when Bedard made the O’s roster in 2004, having never pitched an inning of AAA and having only thrown 19.1 innings in A+ and below the previous year. The fact that he made the roster is testament to how weak the O’s pitching was at the time. In May that year, they also called up Daniel Cabrera, who’d thrown all of 27.1 innings in AA and had never pitched in HiA at all. That’s just how the team rolled in that era. Bedard managed to develop into a good major league starter after a couple of years; Cabrera never did. But Hall’s path to date has been a bit different than either of theirs. So, like I said, my gut feeling is that Hall is going to struggle for a year or two as a major league starter. Will he come out the other side as a successful starting pitcher? Is he, or the team, better off spending more time starting games in AAA next year? Will he move to the bullpen instead and find major league success there? That’s all TBD. I think the plan to spend the rest of this year in the bullpen makes sense, and we’ll see if he makes the adjustment well enough over the next few weeks to return to the Orioles in that role for September. And then he’ll come back next spring and probably get some looks as a starter and we can worry about that then. -

Remember how Manny was the huge key to the 2012 stretch run and the emergence of Chis Davis kept the 2013 Orioles from total collapse, and then Manny missed the whole second half of 2014 and Davis was bad and then got a PED suspension and they won 96 games? -

Yea, anything that benefits the Yanks is quite a bit worse than all of humanity being roasted to death alive. -
I don't think we should totally ignore those numbers but just like Mateo we should look at him with new lense now. Again, I believe he's made some significant changes. I don't think he's the same old McKenna. I'm not sure what the new McKenna is but I'm pretty sure it's better and different.
