Also, very interesting observations on the crowd from Ken - interesting that he didn't make the logical connection between the "wine and cheese" crowd disappearing and the Gnats moving to DC. I will grant that correlation is not causation, but in that case I think there's something to it.

It's funny how at 28 home runs no one really cared, but uh oh an even THIRTY homers. LOL, humans are funny like that.

Also, Davis has always been this player, clearly. He wasn't speed Bonds type.

No, they did. I've heard since the first series in TB. Where Davis hit one every game

Jurrjens, right there, proved that he is about as lucky as Jake Arrieta was in 2011. Anyone remember those innings where Jake would give up singles then walk the bases loaded and get out of it without giving up a run? Jurrjens' inning wasn't quite THAT superlative, but he has recorded 4 outs without surrendering a run. By all counts he should have given up 4 or 5 runs judging by how he's pitching. Incredible that he ends the inning with a K. The Yankees really look bad.

Yup. MLB always gets singled out too. If a NFLer had a hot start or season no one even thinks it.

Doesn't Jake still do that

      Jeremy Lee is pitching in high-A for the Twins, he's an alum of that school. I'm not sure how many I'd expect from a town with a population of 17,000 people.

      How important is this Yankees series, really?

      By interloper · Posted

      Yeah I mean, the pitching matchups are about as bad as they could get by random chance. It is what it is. I'm not expecting much from this series. If we lose the series, it won't say a ton about either the Orioles or the Yankees.  BUT - if we win the series, it will be huge. And the Yankees' claim at best in the AL will look highly suspect.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      Why 2025+ is important in any trade discussions ... just with regards to position players:  There is a chance the Orioles will have two openings in the outfield beginning next season.  Any or all of Santander, Mullins, and Hays could be gone after the season.  If that happened, it would leave Cowser as the only high-probability starter.  Odds are Cowser would be our CF, but regardless, we'd need to fill those two other spots.  Replacement candidates for COF's, IMHO, are Kjerstad, Norby, and Stowers.  In that group it would seem that only Stowers can play solid defensively in the outfield.  FWIW I don't believe Beavers or Fabian or Cook would be strongly considered to start, nor do I expect Elias to ask Holliday to get reps in CF or Mayo in RF (even though both have merit).  Ryan O'Hearn can play a decent-at-best RF but should not be counted on to start there.   So, if we deal away any of Kjerstad, Norby or Stowers, we'd weaken our options beyond this season.  Again, this assumes we would not attempt to resign/extend Santander (big assumption) or bring back Mullins and Hays with the intention of them starting. As well, beginning next season we may find ourselves in an interesting situation within the infield.  With Mountcastle at 1B, Gunnar at SS and Westburg at either 3B or 2B, there would only be room for either Holliday or Mayo to start regularly.  One possible solution is trading Mountcastle this off-season.  That would allow Mayo to take over at 1B, assuming the O's would be comfortable with his defense at 1B.  Another less likely way to resolve the matter is having Mayo getting a crash course this winter in playing RF OR having Holliday do the same in CF.  Again, not anticipating either. Naturally, there is always the possibility of trading for an outfielder or signing one.   My point is that there is much to consider in weighing this season versus future seasons.  Watching it all unfold fascinating.

      IMO the Padres are the team who can least afford to give away any more future assets they are running a bit thin. And some of their higher priced players are starting to age. They say the definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over while continuously getting the same (undesirable) results. If Elias values Crochet the way that you appear to, then maybe he is worth strongly considering acquiring? I can't see them moving Holliday. But again there are scenarios in which one of Mayo/Basallo are expendable long term (even if one or both turn into all-star level players).

      Like I said, I didn't know he was sick, I don't pay attention to the Padres at all and it's never been front page of any site that I frequent. If the prognosis is years that paints a different picture.

      I would wait and see who is left standing out of HOU, TEX, CIN, and PIT. Bednar might be my top target if he keeps pitching well or the 15 K/9 guy from CIN.
