I love how Markakis is on the downslope of a long career, but Reimold is a young prospect just waiting to "break out". Too bad they're the same age. :rolleyestf:
The thing about prospects is they have the tools to allow people to fantasize about what great players they will become, and haven't played enough to demonstrate that they aren't that good. In Nolans case even though he's 32 he hasn't played enough yet, so people can still dream.....tumblr_llvgdyIKkZ1qkcqgio1_250.gif

I think he might. If he is consistent, than yes he will. If not, trade him, lake and all those garbage players for something good.

Why would any of the other 29 GM's in Major League Baseball trade "something good" for a bunch of garbage?

That notiont reminds me of when somebody was extremely critical of Matt Wieters, saying that he was overrated and average at best ....... and proposed trading him for a TOR starting pitcher.

If Wieters is/was indeed overrated and average at best, why in the world would another GM give the Orioles their best starting pitcher for him ???

I think you could definitely write a Netflix series detailing his whole life.

Athlete, scandal, multiple children, religion. It's got all the ingredients for at least one successful season(unintentional jab).

Oh the possibilities for a slow off season thread. But I respect this place too much. :vader:

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.

      I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again. He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota. I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.
