Must be nice to have ownership and a FO that actually knows how to take the next step towards winning a WS.

DD wont be back next year imo.

Must be nice to have a healthy and vibrant farm system to trade from.

DD wont be gone after one bad year.

Everyone keeps talking about Toronto's hitting. I think their team ERA during the winning streak is something like 1.98.

They could be peaking too soon.

Their pitching isn't going to keep putting up those numbers.. maybe Price but I can't see the rest of them staying this good.

Norfolk is in first place.

Bowie is in first place.

DD will be back next season. :)

Wait, so you equate minor league records (where even the most highly prospected team will only have liek 20% of guys make the big leagues) as any kind of a measure on how a GM is doing? Are you serious? Were you joking or trolling?

From Oakland Chronicle:

"I don't think so," he said. "I mean everybody has little minor aches and pains and everybody has dealt with some back issues. But not this severe to where he can't start today. We'll monitor him and see how he feels in Baltimore. We'll get him in there when we feel it's the proper time to get him in there. At this point we're not sure.

"The potential for us needing a starter tomorrow is there. We'll see. Jesse (Chavez) is on turn today. But we'll see what we need to do. There's the potential for tomorrow but we're not really sure when Sonny will be ready to pitch. Certainly (Felix) Doubront is not going to be able to pitch tomorrow. We'll play it by ear. Jesse knew last night. Before he went home he had a pretty good idea that he was going to start today.

Are you trolling his post by even asking if he's serious?

o

That Yankees won 103 games that season in a 154-game schedule ...... and still didn't make the postseason because the Indians won 111. :eektf:

That 111-43 record for the Indians is still an American League record for winning percentage (.721). The 2001 Mariners went 116-46 and the 1998 Yankees went 114-48, but neither was a better record than that of the '54 Indians.

A team would have to go 117-45 to actually surpass them.

Over time the Yankees farm teams mostly had winning records and often won minor league division titles. I dare say over that period they scarcely had a highly rated farm system.

Besides, I would gladly trade consistent major league winning for minor league losing

Things that don't count:

Winning arbitration cases

Having the best wins per payroll dollar

minor league records

      Developing situation with Mountcastle?

      By 24fps · Posted

      If that's the case, then there have been several missed opportunities with recent thread titles.  Some proposed revisions:   There's a developing situation with Jackson Holliday.  Mike Elias' biggest failure? Michael Kopech could be an Oriole by Memorial Day.  The situation is still developing. Jim Bowden has made a semi-rational trade proposal.  No word yet on a possible identity theft. ... Fun.

      A dozen more strikeouts last night, and most of the lineup is not hitting well

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Crappy umping.  Hyde needs to be more vocal.  The umps are a variable that our hitters can't control.  It's like when the Rays were becoming a powerhouse and had all of those brawls.  We don't need brawls, but we do need our manager to be more vocal.  O'Hearn took one for the team last night.   None of the young guys want to get labeled like Machado did.

      https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/majors/2024.shtml Team BA: .254 10th in MLB Team HRs: 54 1st in MLB Team RBIs 174 4th in MLB Team Hit 197 12th in MLB Team Runs 180 6th in MLB Team OBP .306 17th in MLB Team SLG .441 2nd in MLB Team OPS .747 3rd in MLB Team OPS+ 117 2nd in MLB Team Walks 89 one more than last place CWS   Roy, I think they are hitting the ball just fine. But this team has a problem with getting on base and specifically taking a walk. Free swinging clubs are streaky.

      Please state your facts without trolling. You have your opinions, Sports Guy has his. Make your points, put in your stats, and stop trolling the other person. Who cares if SG has a different opinion then you? Really, it's not that different. You both think he's a SP prospect.  Heck, if you want to go troll anyone, go troll the guy who just compared Povich to Zimmermann, Rom and Vespi! LOL (Don't troll anyone, that was a joke).

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Great insights.  We've seen the same thing happen with all of our recent prospects.  Hopefully, this winning will let our batters start getting some respect on their names with the umps.  I like how none of them really argue, and last night O'Hearn sort of took one for the team/youngins.  I like Hyde.  Great manager, but maybe he needs to be a little more vocal with these umps.  We've done the nice guy act.  Now it's time to win when everyone is gunning for us.

      Cade Povich 2024

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Thank you for saving me some typing. My only nitpick is Povich is working on a cutter to offset his fastball and I'm not sure that Povich is a nibbler vs he doesn't have great command yet.  Comparing him to Rom or even Zimmermann is off point for sure. Povich is much better pitching prospect then either of them. He's dominating both righties and lefties right now. The Vespi comparison is silly as well. Povich probably could be a very good reliever for the Orioles right now, but he's definitely more value as SP depth while he keeps working on his command. He's definitely next up if the Orioles need a starter.
