Got it. Zach demoted, Made happy by his projected lower lifetime earnings. Made into a swiss army lefty. Sounds like a plan for real bullpen success. And I am not even really a a Zach fan. I was in NY last year.

And with Miller signed to a long term deal no two out save rule.

I think the very best example of this working perfectly is the Papelbon deal. And no doubt it worked. It;s just so hard to raise something Ruben would do.

I would not think so. Do you? I don't even see it as an offense. I just want to make it easier for all those who feel the need to bellow this and don't choose to use the rant thread. And it may spark scintillating conversation.
I'm sure we'll still get several "merge requests" long after, sometimes years after, this thread has disappeared off the front page. ;)

Ringo took out all the Hare Krishna bits and got the songwriting credit. ;)

Chen just gave up a run. We're doomed.

Just doing my part.

He's a bit better than league average. I guess the trick is to just put everything we do poorly here to cut down the work for the occasional posters. I did not like that Chris Davis went opposite field. Doesn't he know that Yankee Stadium is built for left-handed power? :facepalm

That was bad and no bunting to beat the shift?

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      ???. Cowser took more swings against LF than any other LH hitter on the team ( not named  Henderson). He was one of the guys they did not platoon.

      Kevin Seitzer hitting coach?

      By Big O · Posted

      I think Kevin Seiyltzer was the fall guy for a team that thought they were a championship team.  This guy has overseen more a decade of hitting in Atlanta, has been through developing and helping young batters succeed when the league adjusts.  Most importantly, he has a ring!

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I honestly think there is very little difference in most the teams that made the playoffs.  The most wins was 98 wins and there was 12 teams with 86 wins or more.  It also seems that many of the teams are on the same page with scouting and analytics now hitting wise.  Years back you had moneyball which the A’s used before anyone else.  Then the Astros and few teams started with analytics and seemed to be ahead of the rest of the league but they have caught up now imo.  Now the move seems to be on launch angle and hitting homers by getting the ball in the air but that seems to be across the league.  Obviously some teams have more money and more talented players but the strategy seems about the same.  The main differences I see is in pitching in the playoffs which is bullpen games and using openers rather then a starter to go 7 innings and carry your team to win now a slight sign of trouble they are taking them out.  With all these short inning guys and pitching them in certain pockets we are seeing very little offense and the hitting with runners in scoring position has been awful.  It all comes down to RISP at bats and getting 1 or 2 big base hits in those situations.  We just haven’t been able to get those hits so far in short series.

      And we've seen similar with Kjerstad. Kjerstad might be the best pure hitting prospect in the Orioles system of recent years besides Gunnar. I want to see him playing everyday next year is possible none of this sitting him versus LHP more often than not. These prospects need to get their reps and stop treating them like John Lowenstein and Benny Ayala.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I don’t see Elias trading off prospects anymore at least top guys.  We have moved a few guys in last year and I expect they try to build that back up.  They should have money to use if they want to add talent.

      Blah, well Rob Manfred has to be happy along with Fox network. A Yankees-Mets World Series match up is still on the table and the Dodgers as well if they win tomorrow. I knew the Royals would get jettisoned by the Yankees without too much of a fight.
