The boost the O's offense would get from Wieters and Parmelee might be enough to help.

I think Lough becomes more valuable to the team if Davis switches to right field. I late inning defensive guy like Lough can help nail down wins.

Navarro does very little for this team. Pearce can help in the infield and also hit against lefties in left field.

Snider in left vs righties with that 348 OBP make sense to me. He can bat 2nd in the order.

Looks like you were right....problem is who has the short straw...Snider is starting to hit for power, Reimold looks good, Lough is starting to come up big ....it's going to be a tough decision.

I think you are right. It makes my hamstring hurt just to think about it.

So the O's play games with / screw Chen to avoid possibly losing a player. Well, last year it was Gonzo, and he took it well. Hopefully Chen does the same.

You really think it will matter in FA if Chen gets 32 starts instead of 33?

It would hurt Chen 10000% more if he blew out his elbow from throwing too many innings. Also 1000% more if he gets shelled by the Jays.

Or gets shelled and gets 2 million a less this offseason.

His problem with this is stupid. He is awful against the Blue Jays, the Orioles are doing him a favor.

Good call. This guy can hit.

Yep. And love his batting eye too.

Don't look now but Alvarez heating up too...

As they said in the post game, hitting is contagious.

Yeah it's a psychological game. Man what a difference a week makes. We could be a game out of first tonight.

A little competition is always good. Heck even Alvarez is heating up. It could be a straight platoon situation with snider/reimold,parm/young. Looks like Pearce is out when Schoop comes back. Barring injuries.

Young would go before Pearce.

As I said earlier in the thread, I think that Dan brought in Snider and Parmalee to see if one or both could be counted on as LH power for next year.

We are in all likelihood losing Davis and Weiters, and we have 0 other power from the left side.

Other than this, I think Snider would be the obvious choice to ditch when we need to make room on the 25 man next week. However, if he can at least indicate power (Parmalee already has), then I think one of Young/Pearce is most at risk. Good response tonight.

      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

      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.
