than what he did last year?

Last year:

Pearce 930 OPS

Sniders 776 OPS

This year:

Pearce 618 OPS

Snider 701 OPS

These guys are obviously playing because of what they did last year.

The O's have played 51 games. Almost 1/3 of the season. When does what these players are doing this year mean more than what they did last year?

Snider is in the dog house for not knowing how many outs there were last night. Pearce is essentially our second baseman since Cabrerra is in the dog house for not getting a bunt down.

Pearce will not be the 2B long. Hardy will be back soon and Flaherty will take over 2B.

You missed the telecast where Hardy was quoted as saying to Buck "something is definitely wrong"?

I'd rather have Navarro's bat and defense over Pearce. Navarro had his problems defensively but he's a better bat and glove than Pearce. Time to cut bait on a few guys.

Pearce has no range. Navarro doesn't either. At least Navarro is hot. Neither are good options.

The only logical solution if Hardy is hurt is Janish to SS and Flaherty to 2b.

Oh yeah, and Janish can't hit a lick.

Which game? It wasn't tonights. Yeah, something is definitely wrong. His side hurts. The MRI didn't show an oblique strain or whatever. You got more than that?

Yes on tonights telecast. They said Hardy tried to swing and it hurt and he told Buck that something isn't right.

Around the 3rd inning.

      Melewski’s a little slow.  I saw that yesterday, elsewhere.

      Trade Proposal: Fedde & Kopech for Norby & Beavers

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      I wouldn’t trade Basallo or Mayo straight up for Crochet. We need a starter and Crochet may not be a starter the rest of the year and this work load could affect his arm next year as well. He’s just too much of a risk and may not help us win this year.  If we could use Kjerstad to headline a deal, I would think something could be worked out.  Personally, I doubt crochet is traded. Getz is going to overvalue him and teams aren’t going to part with a top 20 guy and a top 50 guy plus more.  It’s just not happening, as I said it wouldn’t for Cease. As for other pitchers, some of the Texas guys are certainly possible. Miami has some intriguing options potentially. I’m a Detmers guy, although he’s a bit of a project.(maybe big BP help this year) I am also more about improving the pen first. End of the day, do I want Fedde starting game 3 of a playoff series?  As of today, I’m not sure I do so I don’t want to trade assets for that guy.

      Is O’Hearn that much worse than Mountcastle at 1B?  I don’t think so.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Allan Bryant · Posted

      I understand your case and logic for Skubal  . I do like him too . However I question whether the Tigers will trade him and secondly , is Elias willing pay the high costs to acquire him ?  Knowing Elias , I’m not sure 🤷‍♂️

      But that’s my point, who are all these flawless options?  By no means do you have to trade for our guys, but it’s not a stellar group of starting pitchers.  You’ll likely take on some risk with whomever you acquire.  I don’t like taking specific comments and then generalizing the whole board, but there is quite a bit of nitpicking going on from a large group of posters on almost all the SP options not named Skubal as well as some overvaluing of your lesser prospects who are unlikely to get something of value.  Getting an impactful SP in this market is going to hurt one way or the other, you just have to decide what trade offs are you willing to take. I do appreciate your viewpoints because you seem capable of saying something might be fair in terms of value, but at the same time not be a trade you’d actually make.  Personally, I think Crochet would be a massive coup for you guys at the price I just mentioned, but I can respect if you feel he’s too risky.  I’m not sure there will another SP like him available in terms of potential impact and now is the time you guys should really be going for it.
