O's v DET by position

C .695-.676

1B .773-.990

2B .617-.725

3B .717-.713

SS .693-.582

LF .837-.818

CF .762-.723

RF .744-.767

DH .798-.953

SP ERA 3.61-3.81

WHIP 1.29-1.26

K/9 6.87-7.63

With the exception of Cabrera and Martinez we are pretty evenly matched on offense and the SP is pretty close when you factor in the O's superior defense. We have the better bullpen, and we have a much better manager.DET is no slam dunk over the O's IMO.

Just curious, is that their CF numbers since they traded Jackson or including his numbers?

Their games was extremely early in the season scheduled.

Neither team looks the same now, as they did in early May.

Its always better to be playing better now, than early. :)

Oh I agree... its just the he was espousing this "Detroit is vastly superior to the O's argument" earlier in the year

on the basis of Detroit sweeping us in a three game series. Now, of course, he's changed his tune. Toronto has a 5-1 record against Detroit so I guess they're better than Detroit. :-)

Without, at least according to ESPN, when I just ran the figures and its .819.

J.D. Martinez at .955 for 76 games gives them the .

Not sure what you are trying to say here but JD plays LF. Rajai Davis has been their CF since the Jackson trade, which is a major reason why I don't like that deal for them.

My own two cents, their offense and starting pitching is a bit better than ours, our bullpen is better than theirs, and our defense blows theirs away (especially with the loss of Jackson). It's going to be a very good competitive series. This year our overall ERA is sitting at 3.44 (#7 in MLB), theirs is 4.01 (#23 in MLB). Runs Allowed is even more in our favor, 565 (3.65 per game, #5 in MLB) vs 674 (4.35 per game, #22 in MLB). Our run differential is about double theirs. Scherzer/Price et al pitch to their historical stats, they will probably win. If they pitch to their stats this year, we have a great shot.

I have no idea what has diminished your reading comprehension skills old friend, but no where, no how have I ever indicated I think the Orioles are now better than Detroit. Quite the contrary, I have consistently and steadfastly maintained the opposite. Could they possibly upset Detroit in the playoffs? Sure, anything is possible, as the Jets proved in Superbowl III, and the Mets in 69 WS, just not very likely.

You would have to be a fan of this team, first.

I don't think either team will or should be the type of underdog that the Jets and Mets were. This is a short series between two pretty good baseball teams, both of which have played well in September. Detroit has a couple of big name arms who could get hot in the playoffs, but the Orioles have been the more consistent team. I'll be interested to see what the Vegas oddsmakers think, once the matchups are set, but I doubt either team will be a heavy favorite.

Oh so now anyone who thinks another team is better than the Orioles is no longer a fan? There are plenty of teams (in fact most NFL teams are better than the lousy Redskins but if you acknowledge that it makes you no longer a Redskin fan? gimme a break.

Geesh...I agree. That is silliness.

I love these fans that rank their fandom and take it so seriously....it is like church and who is a better Christian....after a while, it gets old. Just enjoy the game. After all, it is JUST a game.

It is and it isn't. In the grand scheme of things, yeah, it's just a game if you want to get all literal on us. But within the scope of baseball or "sports" overall, the O's making it to the postseason and the ensuing results are pretty much the most important thing on earth as far as I'm concerned. And yes, it even ranks higher on the list of priorities than most real-life circumstances for a little while. Simply put, sports means different things to different people. Sometimes you never know why someone is so fanatical.

It's like Scottie says so often, you don't get to tell me how to be a fan. Same is true of the opposite, of course.

Sorry, but you are so anti-Orioles at times.

There is a line between healthy critique and flat out over the top posts, and your Tigers is vastly superior to the Orioles, like most of your other posts, is over the top and then some. Comparing this series to the Jets and superbowl 3, is a typical example.

FAMOUS SPORTS UPSETS:

Clay defeats Liston, 1964.

Douglas Defeats Tyson, 1990.

The 1968 Jets beat the Colts in Super Bowl III, 16-7.

The 1980 U.S.A. hockey team defeats the U.S.S.R. in the medal round, 4-3.

North Carolina State beats the University of Houston, 1983 National Championship Game.

The 2014 Orioles somehow find a way to beat the Detroit Tigers, A.L.D.S. *

* Has not yet come to fruition. Oriole fans can only hope.

      FIX THE DANG BULLPEN

      Is Rich Hill an option? I believe he was looking to sign with someone mid year. Would we consider him?

      Norby and Vespi coming up?

      By Frobby · Posted

      They bring them up because we need to have guys on the bench available to pinch hit, pinch run, substitute for injured players, or give somebody a rest.   It's not a matter of not believing in them.  Some will get chances to start and some won't.   Just because a guy is starting every day in AAA doesn't mean he should get a chance to start every day (or even most to the time) in the majors.

      By Frobby · Posted

      My source for the dates of the options is the Orioles.com transactions page.  I'm going to retract what I said about the 20 day rule, as I had misremembered it.  What it actually says is:  "If a Player is optionally assigned for a total of less than 20 days in one championship season, the Player shall be credited with Major League service during the period of such optional assignment(s); provided, however, that a Player shall not be credited with Major League service under this provision if the Player had zero days of Major League serv ice in the current season prior to the optional assignment and after the optional assignment was unconditionally released or assigned outright and not subsequently added to the Active List for the remainder of the championship season." So forget what I said about that.  Now, what I am not sure about is whether Vespi's recall to be the 27th man in St. Louis due to the suspended game counts towards his option total.   The answer to that isn't found in the CBA, but in a document called "Major League Rules" that used to be public, but apparently no longer is.   I am not talking about the document that describes the rules of play, but another document that contains, for example, the details of the "Rule 4 draft" and the "Rule 5 draft."

      How many RBI's has batting leadoff cost Gunnar?

      And is it fair to say 10-15 runs equates to about 1 to 1.5 wins? (Again, that's in a worst-order scenario.)

      Extend Burnes

      By foxfield · Posted

      It’s a definite probable no for me. I don’t say that to split hairs.  So let me explain.    There is no way that the Orioles come out on an investment like the one it will take to extend Burnes. But would I, given his age and the likelihood of injury?  No.    Unless….I was prepared to spend twice that or more to land another pitcher on top of Burnes. The idea being if you’re in you’re in.    I cannot speak to the finances of the new ownership but the only way I would purchase someone like Burnes would be to buy 2 in hopes of having one. While still knowing the advantage if you have both and the risks of both are hurt.    Could the Orioles afford $600M? I don’t know.  Should any team?  No. But we live in a world where the Dodgers are spending Billions.

      I just wanna know why we bring up guys who play every day at AAA only to ride thd bench up here. Give these guys a chance like they the did with Holliday and if they suck send them down. At this point they're wasting the careers of guys like Stowers and Kjerstad. If you dot believe in them, trade them for pitching.

      Extend Burnes

      By DrungoHazewood · Posted

      So what happens when the O's sign Burnes to a 8/300 deal, then Gunnar and Adley each want 10/250 to extend, then eventually you have to pay Westburg and Cowser, and everyone is going to want Holliday here through 2040, and you look up and the O's still have 30-40% of the revenues of the Yanks and Dodgers but the fans want them to have 80% of their payrolls? Oh, and then Burnes tears his UCL and misses 18 months and then has another half year where he's not the same, and then before you know it he's 35.
