I had such a crush on Nena in 1983-but I'm thinking more Peter Pan? -

Suites and corporate partnerships have always been a massive part. They need those partnerships, suite sales, etc…always have. -

In all the interviews with the front office folks, nothing makes me think they are tossing things out the window because of an organizational approach. Like Frobby said, approach hasn't change between the first half of the year and today, and I do not think the level of O's analytics is going to ignore obvious things like that. These are just not going to be things they haven't thought about before. I do worry some about defensive fundamentals which have been lacking since the Bobby Dickerson days, though I think that has nothing to do with analytics (which is more about positioning) and more to do with the fact that Dickerson was very good at his job and whoever is doing that work now is not as good. -

I think one the best things that Elias brought to the team is having everyone on the same page. The GM, Manager, Coaches both majors and minors leagues, the players and the scouts. That was not where the O's were before Elias. I think there is a real benefit to that. I think the problems with the O's can be summed up in a few words. 1) Injuries. 2) Breaking in rookies. 3) Fatigue 4)Pitchers not holding runners I think its a waste of time to point out how many pitchers the O's have lost to a group on the OH. Everyone knows. And they know the pitching would be much better with all the O's pitchers healthy. Losing Westburg hurt the team on both sides the ball. Gunnar has play 142 of the 144 games. 140 of those were at SS. If Mateo was healthy during the dog days of summer would Gunnar have gotten a few days at DH that helped him get some rest? You can say a lot of things about Hays but when he was in left the ball consistently and accurately was on target to 2nd base. And the other team knew it and often did not run. Cowser has a strong arm but the accuracy is a work in progress. That is what happens when rookies are developed in the majors. Holliday has the same rookie problem. It will get better but it does affect the team, The offense is 2nd in the majors. But what we are seeing in the 2nd half has a lot to do with fatigue. Both Burnes and Kimbrel concentrate more on getting the hitters out and little on holding the runners. And the other team takes advantage. For me looking at whether the current analytics based approach could use more old school in not really the point. Any problems the O's have are more: 1) Injuries. 2) Breaking in rookies. 3) Fatigue 4) Pitchers not holding runners -
It kind of burns me that the Rangers sandwiched a World Series win between two seasons when they were not even close to contention (and possibly below .500 in both). Even the year they won, they weren't that good. They just got on a heater when it mattered most. -

OHearn is playing too much though. His numbers since Aug 1 aren’t good.
