This team a lot worse than the 2013 team that didn't make the playoffs, IMO.

Agreed. That team lost because the offense (primarily the one through four hitters, McClouth, Manny, Davis, Jones) hit far worse in the second half than the first half, especially in August and September.

Either way, Orioles are headed for .500 or worse season- I could actually see them spiralling down even further much easier than I can see some kind of big time win streak. DD will be held accountable. He may not even see 2016 with the Os.

DD has done some good things but some questionable, too. This season has been disastrous from the start, beginning with DD talks of going to Toronto and then not signing anyone worth noting in the offseason.

Great to see that our "big trade deadline" acquisition has been much worse than Cabrera, De Aza, Lough, Young, Flaherty, and Snider based on the amount of games he's played. He's been worth -0.4 WAR already. The only players worse than him have been Cabrera(-0.5 WAR but in over twice as many at bats), Young (-0.5 WAR in over 3x as many PA's), and Lough (-0.5 WAR in almost 3x as many PA's and numerous games entered as a defensive replacement).

What an awful, awful pickup. He has literally been the worst player that has been on the roster for any extended amount of time this season. How could anyone possibly be in favor of resigning him? He is terrible.

So a guy who has played about 12 games is killing the team and not the guys who sucked all year long. If you think he has been our worst player then I don't know what team you are watching.

I don't know whats worse, staying with Paredes, Lough, Reimold, Flaherty and not giving Walker, Alvarez, Mancini even a glimpse of a shot, or allowing rule 5 picks to "rule" or judgement with players like Steve Johnson pitching so well in the minors. This team's judgement is very questionable.

Agreed. A pitcher that does not pitch in the AL is called an equipment manager.

Id have to say this is, so far, their very worst performance of the year.

We were down 12-1 in our very first home game of the season going into the bottom of the 8th this no way compares to that. We got decent pitching today just no offense and commited 2 errors in that game i believe.

      2024 Bowie Baysox

      By Frobby · Posted

      I’m not quite ready to start a Kyle Brnovich thread, but he pitched well last night, allowing 1 run on 4 hits, 2 BB and 3 K’s in 5 IP.   He’s been very good at limiting the hits (only 24 in 38 IP), which also was a strength before his TJ surgery in early 2022 that ate up half of 2923 as well. However, he’s been gopher ball prone this year, allowing 8 homers among his 24 hits.  His BB rate also is higher than pre-surgery, at 4.3 compared to 3.1 for his career.  Overall, he’s at 3.79 ERA, 1.105 WHIP, 11.6 K/9, 2.7 K/BB. Brnovich had reached AAA by the start of 2022 before needing TJ after two starts.  He resumed pitching in late June 2023 and made it as far as Bowie. But ended up missing about five weeks in August and September with some other malady.   Hopefully with a run of good outings he can make his way back to Norfolk.

      Weird title …. We were down after 1 1/2 and didn’t score again.

      MLB changes record books..adds in Negro League stats

      By Frobby · Posted

      Short seasons.  Like 50-60 games a year.  He played 602 games total, about the equivalent of 4 AL/NL seasons.  His 162-game average was 45 homers, 197 RBI. The Negro National League II that Gibson played in was very hitter-friendly, averaging about 5.5 runs per game over its existence (1933-48).  During that same period, the AL averaged about a run per game less, and the NL averaged about 1.5 runs per game less.

      Good catch. MLB & BBref list the same slugging percentage, but the backing numbers vary, as does Seamheads. MLB: BBref: Seamheads:

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By Frobby · Posted

      Just to clarify, you mean that Kjerstad is under control for four more yesrs than Helsley is, not four more years total.   I’ll say this: our bullpen needs another top quality reliever.   Not just another body.

      Agreed.  GRod should have pitched the 7th until someone got on base or if someone had a really long at bat.  Give him 15 pitches to get out of the inning. That said, they lost that game the moment they didn’t score with the bases loaded and no one out.
