Who is agreeing to these settlements. No way I would pay Chris Davis 12 million after the season he had last year. I don't see how they couldn't have gotten him for 10 million in arbitration.

Also Matusz, I would just have released before agreeing to that. Hunter 4.65 million? Oh well I wonder if Brady is now in charge of this.

Your complaints are valid but that isn't how arbitration works. Everything is in line with the estimates.

Who does Matusz have the dirt on?

Seriously 3.2 million for a not very good LOOGY?

so why did we sign the Wesley Walker(??) guy for

and Buck is looking to stash at least one rule 5 guy.

and to trade Matusz we would have to eat 1/2 his salary.

Is there anyone who would even want him.

Can't wait to see more of his maximum effort 88 mph fastball.

Extend him so he doesn't go through the process.

You know he switched over to Boras a few years ago right?

Not saying it can't be done but it isn't likely.

Would be better off riding him hard this season and selling high in the offseason. Let someone else deal with his Arb 3 and 4 years.

That puzzles me, as well. It's about twice what they seem to be willing to pay Rasmus. And Davis ain't worth twice of what Rasmus is worth.

I see the confusion. I'm referring to Tillman not Britton.

The Orioles are cheap! Dammit all to hell! Oops, wrong thread.

The Orioles are spending frivolously! Dammit all to hell!

There that's the ticket. So long as we agree that they do nothing right all is well with the world.

Where are the pitchforks and when are we storming the castle?

We lost the pitchfork in the ALCS, because we're no good.

You forgot how DD is sitting on his butt doing nothing waiting on the Toronto job.

      9/26: A Weak Effort In New York

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I was at a meeting and came out to the Orioles down 1-0. I looked away for what seemed like a minute and it was 5-0, then 7-0. Do we know why Burnes was lifted after just 69 pitches after 5 innings? Was he hurt? Do we know why Cano was brought into the game in the 6th (Have to imagine his adrenaline may not have been as flowing at that stage of the game)?  Obviously the bullpen was pretty horrific last night, but could some of this be because Hyde was using guys who typically are late in game relievers in the 6th inning?

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      Good point on the age.  I think it would have to be someone like Nate George from this year's draft just blowing up next year. The story would be how everyone missed on him because he played in a cold weather state.

      First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.

      Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By e16bball · Posted

      I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.
