Well, the handbook projections are assuming he plays with the Orioles. If he goes to the Mariners, it certainly helps, but I'm not sure by how much. What do run support and the bullpen have to do with era? I'm not talking about wins, I'm talking about era. Hill had worse run support anyways.

"Hill pitched in the NL central not the AL East ...Anyone who cant see the drastic difference either doesn't want to or is just plain ignorant!"

Ignorant? The fact that one plays in the NLC and the other in the ALE is the reason I thought Hill had a better chance to put up a better era. I never said Hill was better than Bedard. Never. I said that I thought he had a good chance to put up better numbers next season. I don't see why there's a need to call me names, I was just giving my opinion. My opinion is not that Bedard isn't good (he obviously is), just that I don't think he will ever perform like he did this season again, and that it's a good idea to trade him now.

IMO its easier for a guy to pitch with a 3 run lead then a tie game.... You know the old phrase " Trying to be to perfect" .

Sorry ... The ignorant thing was just a general statement from Reading the Cubbie boards from other sights. They have talked at great lengths about how they wouldn't trade Hill for Bedard. Again Sorry ;) No hard feelings Eh!

just that I don't think he will ever perform like he did this season again

I not sure either but so far their is no signs in his performance that say he will immediately decline!

I'm not sure about run support, but the bullpen can certainly have an effect on a starter's ERA.

That's true, but not really enough of an impact to severely impact a guy's era. Does anyone know where to find a stat of the average amount of inherited runs scored over a full season that end up being charged to a starter? That probably didn't sound right, but you know what I'm saying. Probably be a difficult stat to find though.

For the people who are upset that I haven't PM'ed them back, just take into thought that I have recieved over 50 PM's today;)

And I just read the thread that accused me of lying, and that is all not true.

People can believe what they want, but can I refresh you on something?

The day before Tony broke the story about Roberts being traded to the Cubs, I said something very interseting the night before. I responded to a posters question, saying to go to sleep and expect something tomorrow.

The next day, the story is on the front page. BB didn't say anything about it, nor did Peace or Belkast.

Out of curiosity, how long have you had your source, and how did you meet him/her? You don't have to say who, just how.

I think his point is that he mentioned it before.... Tony reported it as done by 2 of his sources as I recall. And if thats the case maybe he got lucky or maybe he has access to someone (maybe a insider or maybe a poster in yet another forum that gets info)

I'd like to believe him .... Its hard though after reading the IPACY post :(

Either way the trade didn't work out, unfortunatley. And yes it is hard to decide whether he is telling the truth or not, so I'm not going to say my opinion.

Then why, according to your prosportsdaily posts, did you only start getting inside info earlier this month?

Really, I'm not going to keep arguing, as there is no point, but usually when you have a source, you might not be allowed to share certain stuff. Sometimes when the things are getting really hot, you have to keep your mouth shut, as you can't leak anything, and before New Years, a trade was really, really close.

What is the problem? If you don't like what he has to say or if you don't believe him, just put him on ignor. There are many here that want to hear what he has to say.

      Getting the big hit: Josh Lester

      By wildcard · Posted

      The O's often seem to get runners on base but can't drive them in.   They often don't get the big hit that opens up the game.   Yesterday that is just what Lester did.   He got the hit that made the score go from  3-0 to 6-0 (which included a Giant error).    The thing that impressed me about Lester's hit was he did not swing for the fences.   He hit a single to right center with the bases loaded.   So often it seems the  O's take the big swing and fly out to the warning track.    I guess that is how Lester has 50 RBIs in 52 games in AAA.   Lester did what the O's needed.   He drove in the runs.  The O's could use a guy like that. So Coulombe is expected back on Tuesday.   Someone has to be optioned.   Will it be Lester or Vavra?   And if Lester stays where  will that find at bats for him?   Do they give Gunnar more time for his back to heal?   All I have is questions.  No answers.

      Haha, I heard that - but ironically she had done the EXACT same thing, either during the Rangers or Indians series, so this time I was prepared for what she meant lol.

      Ryan Mountcastle 2023

      By Es4M11 · Posted

      Not to make excuses for Mountcastle, he hasn't been good, but it still seems to me that he is punished by bad luck. How many balls has he hit hard that in a majority of instances would be base hits / extra bases? I see him attempting to be more selective with the low and away pitches only to be screwed by umpires with an unfavorable call, which often has put him in bad counts forcing him to swing away. I say this not to provide an excuse for the guy, but it's gotta weigh heavily on a player when he's smoking pitches that are continuously finding gloves. Mountcastle is a peculiar case, and who knows what the answer is. At this point maybe just have to except that bad luck is a part of his game, and move on to someone who actually produces instead of waiting on the hope of Mountcastle could be.

      TT: Hyde's bullpen management is going to sink this team unless he changes

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      Absolutely, arguing the merits of the strategy is completely fair. That is very different than the post I responded to, which was trying to psychoanalyze Hyde and some of his players. That gets us into subjective territory rather than evidence based discussion. So far the matchup strategy seems to be working but there may come a point in time it doesn't. I appreciate you called our some concerning trends that we can then track as the season progresses. Based on the track record so far, I am giving Hyde and staff a long leash to see how it plays out. Last year, Baker, Perez, and Bautista were all very strong down the stretch. That being said, using Cano up five was a weird decision.  I can only think that Hyde wanted Cano to get work with an off day coming up. I am quite certain though that it wasn't in reaction to Baumann giving up the walk, as Cano would have been warming up well before that point.

      She was terrible on the call for the Sabol homerun yesterday. It went something like “Santander back towards the wall, he turns and it’s off the top of the wall! *5 second pause* The Sabol homerun makes it a 7-2 ball game” I was listening thinking the ball was off the wall and in play, stuff like that just happens far to often with her or Garceau on the radio, where you’re just sitting there wondering what just happened.
