I'm sure the Nats won't stand in Mike's way. It's probably just a cover story that neither they nor Mike had been spoken to on this. I wonder if he was their real first choice and the Kenny Williams and Dan Duquette stuff was just to give this time to be worked out? It appears though that MASN is again involved in the denial.

I hope the Nats do stand in the way the same way I am glad PA did - the timing of this debacle is just unbelievable. I am not sure if I would want to work for Rogers/BJs - next thing you know there would be rumors about who would replace me - extremely unprofessional to say the least.

They cheat every way that they can. I hope that MLB steps in and does not allow them to talk to ANY of the folks that they floated out there while under contract. I wonder if Rizzo would like the promotion though. He is only a President of Baseball Ops for the Nationals, not a CEO/President of the Organization.

It astonishes me that someone would want to go from thinking about baseball all day... to thinking about the media, gate receipts, double-entry accounting software, travel budgets, logistics, marketing, amortization metrics, and every personnel/management decision from the cleaning staff to the secretaries to the GM! Even if it does come with more money.

I'm really starting to come around on all the Blue Jays disdain. Maybe they can come up with something that doesn't involve another team for a change. Might I suggest Jim Bowden and his leather pants?

Agreed. But it's weird. There's no person to really focus that disdain upon. No Theo "Thanks Dan" Epstein... No Steinbrenner... It's just a big faceless "corporation"... THAT sounds like fun!

I think he's more concerned with Harper's contract and Harper skipping out on team events, assuming you believe the media.

I hate how the media is portraying Harper here. He has every right to be pissed and I don't blame him one bit for not showing up. The Nats should do the right thing. Why doesn't MLB force themselves into this case?

      Os vs KC in WC round

      I have to think the fact they haven’t announced Game 2 starter means Kremer goes Game 2 if we win Game 1 and Eflin if it’s a loss.

      For the month of September, only Witt had an OpS over 800 and it was only 816.  No one else was even over 700. Second on the team was 692 and third was 636.  So, this isn’t a team that is hitting well.

      Playoff Bullpen Usage

      By Spy Fox · Posted

      How do you want to see Hyde deploy the bullpen in this KC series? Who do you trust most and least right now in a late and close situation? These are presumably conversations being held by the O's leadership today.  For reference, here's how the IP broke down last year against Texas:  G1: Bradish 4.2, Coulombe 0.2, Webb 0.1, Hall 1.2, Wells 1, Perez 0.2 G2: Rodriguez 1.2, Coulombe 0.1, Baker 0.1, Webb 1.2, Flaherty 2, Wells 1, Perez 1, Cano 1 G3: Kremer 1.2, Wells 1.1, Gibson 3, Hall 1.2, Cano 0.1 Of course, success will start with longer outings by the SPs. After that, what do you want to see?

      I think Pham overall will be key this series. Keep traffic off base for Witt.

      The current members of the Royals have 63 at bats vs Kremer. They have struck out 13 times, have 10 hits, 2 homers, 4 walks and a collective OPS of 542 against him. He has pitched twice vs them this year. He went 5.1 and 5.2 IP in the 2 games. He allowed 3 Homers but one was to Pasquatino, who is out. He gave up 6 runs, 6 hits and 4 walks total in the 11 IP…but the 3 homers certainly hurt him. They didn’t have a lot of base runners but they made the homers count, as they accounted for 4 of the 6 runs. Pham and Witt have 6 of the 10 hits against him.

      A look at the Orioles by month -- 2024

      Runs scored and allowed per game by month, and league average for each month: March/April: 5.41 RS/G, 4.10 RA/G (4.25 league average)  May: 4.54 RS/G, 3.27 RA/G (4.29 league average) June: 5.62 RS/G, 4.21 RA/G  (4.44 league average) July: 4.60 RS/G, 5.36 RA/G (4.51 league average) August: 4.46 RS/G, 4.86 RA/G (4.24 league average) September: 4.32 RS/G, 4.12 RA/G (3.93 league average) You can see from this that the offense produced an above average number of runs every month of the season, while the pitchers were better than average at preventing runs in the first three months but worse than average the last three.   I don't think that tells the whole story, as the offense had an abysmal five weeks or so that began in mid-August and lasted through the penultimate week of the season.   But by and large, the offense got way too much of the blame for the team's lackluster second half performance IMO.

      Thanks, Frobby. Basically, a very good offense, very good starting pitching, bad defense and bad bullpen. Defense has some upside now that the regulars are back. But this bullpen just isn’t a playoff caliber bullpen.
