This is the kind of game that reminds you of why the Orioles are leading the league in avg and are middle of the pack in runs scored. No awareness, no baseball savvy, no manufacturing runs. They are all free hackers, with a few exceptions. Talented free hackers, for sure. But good pitchers in big spots know how to take advantage of it.

I beg to differ. He has more of a chance of grounding into a DP than hitting another double.

Differ all you want. You can't predict a DP, but sure as crap can predict an out when someone squares to bunt. YOU ARE LITERALLY GIVING THE OTHER TEAM A FREE OUT.

Earl Weaver did not like bunting.

We just cant beat bad teams when we need to.
Man is that true.

No, it actually isn't. And just because people keep saying it doesn't make it true.

The O's are a combined 11-3 this year against the AL's two worst teams (Astros and Rays). Where are people getting the idea that the O's aren't beating bad teams?

The Book ran the numbers, all the numbers.

And then there's the well reasoned argument, too. :D

Sorry man Jays and Yanks are playing each other you need to beat a team that has lost 7 in a row on road.

Yes I know Earl Weaver did not like bunting. Apparently Buck does. And it isnt a free out all the time. What if the guy throws the ball away. Dont really feel much like arguing since it is a moot point at the moment since we will never know what happens. What isnt a moot point is that with RISP and less than 2 outs the Os cant score. That one play compounds all the difficulties it seems the Os are facing this game.

People like to hide behind their words on the internet. Truth is beside the point.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Rbiggs2525 · Posted

      I’d go even farther. I’m not trading any of top 4 prospects including Kjerstad. I would not trade Cowser as well. We still have a large amount of depth in the system. A trade example would be Stowers, Norby, Liranzo, Forret, Elvin Garcia. That is plenty to get a number 2/3 starter.

      Spencer Watkins coming back?

      Ugh I hope not. Please move on from players that were brought in originally to tank     unless you do this to replace Mcdermott at AAA

      Fangraphs Updated Top 45 Prospect List

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Here’s another list from “the other guys”. It doesn’t appear Holliday is eligible here, just an FYI: Os have 4 on this list including Estrada and Etzel.

      I don’t.  He passed rookie eligibility two years ago.

      Fangraphs Updated Top 45 Prospect List

      By Frobby · Posted

      I think Fangraphs decides who’s eligible as of the start of the season.  Unlike other publications that release all their team lists at the same time, Fangraphs slow rolls theirs over a 6 month period or so.   Therefore, to put all the teams on the same footing, they base eligibility as of the start of the season.

      Clearly he has a roster spot for a playoff series with the Yankees….

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      My stance would be pretty simple. Im not trading any of the top 3 prospects and im not trading any of the young talent that is controlled long term that is currently on the ML roster. That means besides the very obvious guys that players like Cowser and Kjerstad are also off the board. Now, if a player like Skubal becomes available, that could cause me to change my mind but as I look around at the reported available players, I don’t see anyone worth a top 20 prospect or young contributing ML talent. Guys like Norby and Stowers fall into that latter category but they aren’t here right now and they are just redundant on our roster. So I’m telling teams if you want to deal with us, guys like Norby, Stowers and Beavers are who will lead deals and that several vets, led by Mountcastle, are also on the board in any potential contender/contender(fringe contender) type deal. I think whether it’s Fedde or relievers like Estevez or Nardi or Garcia or even Scott, I think we have enough to get deals done without trading any of the guys we would rather not lose. This is all to say that I just don’t see that proven elite high end talent available this deadline to justify trading any of those top guys.
