From Roch:

Showalter said he doesn't know what the rest of the division will do at the non-waiver deadline. It's not his concern.

"I have a pretty good idea what we're going to do and not do, but we can't sacrifice integrity of trying to compete long-term," he said. "We kind of know who we are and we know who we aren't, and that's important. That's something we've really be able to do the last four or five years, understand who we are and how we have to do it."

Himmm? Sellers?

I'd say buyers but not big buyers. He just said on XM MLB that the Gausman trade stuff was horse pucky.

My guess: Trying to pick up an OF on the cheap, not too interested in a rental.

Sounds to me like he isnt interested in trading away impact controllable players since the Orioles aren't the type of team to replace that production via free agency.

I don't think anything significant gets done one way or the other. In a perfect world it'd be a hands down easy decision but this middle ground is ugly. I know this is a ridiculous mindset but I would love to see what the farm system could look like after a Chen, Davis, Wieters, O'Day sale.

While I believe Wieters will get big money in the off-season, I am skeptical that any team will give up much for a catcher who is only available to catch every other day.

If we could get something comparable to O'Day comparable to what we got for Koji (Hunter and Davis), I would do that. Givens might not be ready to get the job done quite as wall as O'Day, but he would get it done.

Yeah, I don't disagree. It'd probably be better to just keep him for the draft pick.

i think the Astros would be a good match to trade with. Chen and Davis for a couple of their prospects. It'd be awesome if we could get someone like Velasquez and Hader.

Careful with that. He might take the QO.

This. Buyers but nothing significant unless it's a multi-year piece. It's a smart front office and that is how I would expect a smart front office to operate. This is a wildcard team and you don't sell off significant future pieces for a chance to play a one-game play-in where anything can happen.

I think that is a huuuge assumption. Banking on a AA guy (who was a SS 2 years ago) with one MLB appearance under his belt to replicate the production of guy who's had an ERA of below 2.3 and decreased significantly each year since 2012

Im pretty sure not one of our Free Agents will be re- signed. I think the two with the best shot are Chen and O' Day. I don't think the Orioles will pay nearly enough to keep either of them.

I agree with Roy completely. Maybe Pearce. Maybe.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      By Flash- bd · Posted

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      Off-season Qualifying Offer Question

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
