  1. 1. Do you like the Davies for Parra trade?

    • I approve. A small price to pay to fix the O's OF hole with a quality veteran.
      95
    • I disapprove. The O's gave up up a pitching prospect for a rental who won't move the needle.
      98

I hate when people say "Well, you are only so many games from a wildcard, so you have to go for it, right?". To me the answer there is and should be "it depends". The O's are just 2 games back of that

All I know is that since coming to the Orioles, Parra has morphed from solid a .328/.369 /.886 baseball player to a .214/.283/.616 wimp.

Coming into today, Cespedes has OPS'd four points less in an almost identical number of ABs since joining the Mets: .612. I can tell you out here in Queens that no Mets fan is calling him a wimp.

Just like Cespedes helps the rest of the lineup and stabilizes the OF, I'm very glad to have Davis back at first, Parmalee/Snider gone, and a dependable defender with a great arm in RF. Let's give him more than 11 games to see if he can get hot again with the bat.

While I would agreee with you in principle, not to many Mets fans are sweating what they gave up for Cespedes as their farm system is far better.

I would argue that most of the angst about Parra revolves around the fact we gave up one of the few good pieces we have for him. If we had 8-10 other guys of similar talent to Davies like the Mets have.....we might be complaining that he has not lived up to expectations but the vitrole would be far less.

and of course the Mets are actually going to the playoffs

Parra could have OPS'ed .900 and the O's would still have missed the playoffs

giving up a prospect for a player that wasn't going to influence the standings was why I was opposed to the trade. It's 2013 and Scott Feldman all over again. All we gave up then was a future Cy Young Award winner

Who wasn't going to be that guy if he had stayed.

So, i was looking at Parra's stats and I guess it kind of shocked me that he is batting .216 with a .286 OBP. But after his last run scored tonight ahead of the Davis HR, Parra is

scoring a run in 85% of his games played. Manny is our leader in runs scored, but he is only scoring runs at 64% of his games played. Granted, Parra's numbers are on a small sample size. But even with his .216/.286, he has made a difference. It just

seems like Parra gets on base at the right times.... or that our hitters take advantage of his times when he does reach base. Am I nuts? I love the addition of Parra.

Good timing, fishbowlguy.

He just hit a solo home run to tie the game !!!

Green reps for you. :)

      Eating a couple months of sub-.600 OPS from Chourio in the majors seems to be paying dividends by October. Grayson's too brittle, Adley's too low, Gunnar's too high, Holliday's too rich - an Orioles version of the Chourio "never in MLB" scenario for Basallo might be part of the before Spring Training flush a night like tonight needs.

      Dues paying member of the Pollyanna Guild here as well.  That said, the O's underperforming young core could do with listening to a few new voices IMO.  Still undecided about Hyde.

      I mostly agree with you but I'm not prepared to say no one should be fired.  I think we really don't know enough to say that.

      Injuries have sucked, the pen has been an issue but is Adley the biggest problem?

      By SteveO · Posted

      Biggest problem over the second half was the approach at the plate, poor at bats, and poor situational awareness. HR or bust offenses do not play well in the post season. You have to be able to be able to generate runs by moving guys over, not swinging for the fences when contact is what is called for and so forth. You can’t just start playing that way when the playoffs start it has to part of your DNA as a team before the playoffs start.    This offseason the first thing the Orioles should do is dump Ryan Fuller the current hitting coach and bring in new proven voice to address some of the issues we all have seen in the approach in general of this team at the plate and its poor situational hitting performances. I’m not saying it all the current hitting coaches fault, just saying that it feels  like something is not working and a lot of that centers around the above. Feels like a change may be good for all.  Last but not least, I want to see Hyde be successful but next is one in which he will need the team to make the playoffs and have some form of post season success.  I think it’s that simple. Injuries won’t save him, only success in the post season will. If he can’t produce that then the new owners and Elias will turn elsewhere IMO. I hope Hyde can pull that off and I for one think he can.

      But then there is the point Rbiggs252 brings up above where he points out he thinks analytics could be part of the problem in that it discounts old school baseball virtues of singles, walks, bunts and hit and runs.  Even if this is a real issue -- especially as something that distinguishes the O's from other successful teams at a similar budget level -- I think it would start in the front office (though maybe extend to coaching too).  Even if the front office doesn't pursue players with these strengths, the coaching staff could try to adopt and train these qualities as in game tactics in certain situations -- but I'm thinking only with the front office's blessing.

      Add to that there needs to be a serious examination of how they are coaching hitting prospects in the minors seeing prospect after prospect struggle adjusting to MLB pitching. I think it's more than just bad luck and it needs to be addressed so we're not waiting months or even a year for a prospect to start hitting.
