For some reason you guys take what is constructive criticism that we think could help the O's as "we hate the orioles and they SUCK". There is no middle ground for you guys. Very strange. It is either one extreme or the other for you. -

I don't know, did the '83 Orioles settle for being just good and not elite by continuing to play over-the-hill has beens who won't get any better like Al Bumbry, Todd Cruz, Rich Dauer, Benny Ayala, Tim Stoddard, Rick Dempsey and Jim Palmer? None of them were particularly good that year, and most were more-or-less done when they were fitted for their rings. And you could make a good case that the 2024 Orioles have more talent than the '83ers. -

JH was completely over matched and should not be anywhere near a major league stadium right now. Not only was he flailing at the plate, but he couldn't throw to first base without lobbing it and honestly the first pop fly when he flailed around like a bumble bee I knew he was not ready. Manny made that play because he was ready. JH was and is not. -

I tend to think that OPSing 1.132 in AAA is about as much as a guy can do to force himself onto a roster. Without a barrel of East German Oral-Turinabol, that is. -

You are forgetting that the point he was making, and I have as well, is this has been a year long thing going back to the second half of last year. This is not a 2 month thing. We are going on a year now with these guys. And it isn't as if these guys have had multi years of all star baseball. They have had a few spurts of it, and then more down times than not. Again, I will ask the question. Are we going to win a WS with guys like Hayes, Mullins, Urias and others playing? Guys who are old and not going to get better? Because if not, why play them when there are cheaper, younger, and most importantly guys with more potential waiting in the wings to replace them? It makes no sense to me. What you are saying is I am willing to settle for just being good. Not elite. -

How could you even tell since he only has 34 MLB PAs? And it's not like everyone in AAA is way worse than everyone in the majors. They're still playing the same game, there are plenty of good pitchers in AAA. If you can hit in the high minors at 20, you can hit in the majors. -
I don't disagree. I would have kept him but there was obviously justification to sending him back down.
