Someone in the O's organization had their calculator working.

Parmelee comes into the season with 2 year, 58 days worth of service time. He is called up with 111 days left in the season. If he stays all the rest of the season he will have 2 year, 169 day. That is 3 days short of a full season.

If he stays with the O's the rest of the season he will be a super 2 and be eligible for arbitration. But the O's can get a exact year of service from him before free agency because he is three day short of a year of service.

Very good observation.

I'm sold on Parmelee. He looked much more athletic and fluid in the field and at bat than any of Snider, Pearce, or Young. I'd trade or release any of those guys to keep Parmelee. I think and hope that Lough stays - we need the defense. I think that Parades is in his own class, and I think that the organization wants to keep him.

Before the season and even now I think that Snider and Parmelee were brought in to see if we could uncover some left-handed power before Davis leaves. I still think that's true. In other words, I think that the organization wants to give Snider and Parmelee more rope than Pearce or Young.

I'm glad we made this move just to make moves. Drastically getting rid of players like De Aza, Cabrera, and eventually Snider is just fantasy baseball right? 22 pages of saying this was a move that didn't need to happen. Mark=1, old guard ZERO. Gotcha. Just 2 dingers by Parm.

What are you talking about? Can you try to not sound drunk and make a logical post? What is this old guard crap you keep talking about?

So I must be drunk to disagree with you. You have some good arguments. Wasn't there just a thread in the last week where a poster accused you guys of all banding together? Doesn't bother me. I'm just calling it out.

Did you disagree with me? You quoted my post and then spewed several sentences that don't make sense that had nothing to do with what you quoted.

In one night in the majors, parmalee had one less homer than young and snider have had all season combined.

Not saying.......just saying.

He's been raking in Norfolk and I see no reason to take him out of the lineup anytime soon.

Agreed. Definitely earned his spot in the lineup. Will be interesting to see how long they keep the extra positional player but it seems Snider is the most likely candidate to go.

Like I said in the game thread.

This is his walk year. Buck basically saying he needs a start off due to fatigue in JUNE isn't going to help his market value.

His response was very measured and respectful.

I have no issue with it.

They already said they would skip Chen's start in Toronto. This just uses the space.

They couldn't very well say it's because TOR eats him for lunch. So they had to say something else. But saying he's fatigued when he isn't doesn't make Boras happy. So what are you going to do?

Yeah I heard that. I think that is important and went under the radar (that quote).

Thanks for posting, important in predicting future moves...

      I thought Chisholm missed home too. They didn’t appeal tho I don’t think.

      Inexcusable missed call in NY. Review Cleo at showed Chisholm out at 2nd. They upheld safe call.

      Elias: It's on me

      By now · Posted

      Well, good on posters who proved the SSS side of "Guards Ball." I just found it striking in terms of the narrative in that article, which was basically the same as what most around here were complaining the O's lacked: clutch hitting, passing the baton, aggressive running, getting runners in from third, etc. I guess the real bottom line is "whatever works." Which of course varies from case to case. The old Bill James postseason wisdom was that HRs are the ticket, since you face good pitching and get so few hits. So back to you, Elias, keep crunching those numbers...

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      First, the had a jump in 23’ given how terrible they had been previously, which conditions many fans in the marketplace not to care. They simple weren’t relevant for years. So one very good regular season will not undue years of being bad/irrelevant and treating your customers terribly. Next, I think they missed an opportunity in the offseason by not doing enough by way of big/bold attention grabbing moves. Now I acknowledge that this was most likely due to the ownership flux/transition. I believe they got an attendance/marketplace engagement boost when they changed owners and when they traded for Burnes. However, I believe we would have seen more engagement attendance with say a big Gunnar extension and/or bringing in a big time FA.   IMO this would have created more buzz before the season (say around the time people make season tix decisions - IMO before Christmas is when some people make those bigger purchases). All of this is to say, that it will take time and effort on the organizations part because of how bad of a stain that the Angeloses left. I still have friends and colleagues who refuse to support the Orioles and attend games due to the damage that was done. Rubenstien & co are not going to be able to undo 30 years of awfulness overnight. But IMO it is not enough to simply call it “a new chapter”. They have to make new/different actions to distinguish themselves from who the Orioles were/used to be under the Angelos regime.

      Just checking in on Gameday, Yankees looking incredibly vulnerable.  Should be the Os out there.  Super lame.  Whichever team wins this series I hope gets knocked out by CLE or DET.

      If the franchise were better, the fan base would be too.  It’s been a rough 40 years.
