Clearly that's the issue. The failure of Esposito to develop and the lack of drafting of a good 3B really forced the O's to resign JJ and hope he didn't come back as Mark Belaner like he has.

I think the Orioles are bad at developing players and at the same time have a lot of bad luck (injury eg. Bundy, Harvey, Adam Loewen, Reimold and may others). Hopefully we can improve soon because our farm system is very barren.

Must be pretty damn nice to be a mets fan right now between syndergaard, matz, Harvey and degrom.

If they get any kind of consistent offense, they should be a World Series for the next 5 years.

Our defense on the left side of the infield is the single best thing about this team. I fully support the decision to resign Hardy.

No one wants to say it, but our drafting has not been very good under Rajsich.

Our left side of our defense is very good, but we can't expect to run with the big boys playing a guy everyday with a .588 OPS.

I see that Davis struck out with bases loaded and nobody out. Look, he has great power, and this puts fans in the seats. But it does not necessarily improve the chances of winning. Davis is worth only 3.4 wins this year, despite this being a career year. And the number one reason you can't afford to overpay for Davis is that you already have a free swinger in the middle of the lineup (AJ).

      The Seattle Mariners Series, May 17-19

      Interesting.  He was throwing 97 when I saw him pitch against the Phillies in Clearwater.

      I'm not sure about that, the OPS split is like 26 points. I wouldn't call Suarez a hard thrower, either, his fastball averages 94 mph and it hasn't ticked up in the pen.

      The Mariners face the Yankees next.  Rodriguez can heat up then.

      Yes, but he also said he hoped Hays would be ready after the off day.  So it’s unclear if Hays still isn’t ready, or if it’s just a matchup thing.  Last year Miller fared much better vs. RHB than LHB, this year, he actually has mild reverse splits so far.

      Are we actually 27-14 with the highest runs/game in the AL?

      No.

      Yankees vs. AL Central

      By rainchild908 · Posted

      Seeing @SteveA's post about the Twins' ongoing ineptitude against the Yankees got me thinking about the other AL Central teams, who it seems come up small every time they play the MFYs (save for the Tigers in the playoffs). In short: this is the rare case where perception matches reality. Since 2001 (i.e., this century), AL Central teams are 272-492 (.356) against the Yankees in the regular season, "led" by the White Sox at 60-87 (.408)—the only team to crack .400. At the other end, the Twins are 46-106 (.303)—the worst winning percentage in MLB this century by one team against an opponent in its league—and the Royals aren't much better (46-105, .305—the second-worst winning percentage). Minnesota has won the season series against the Yankees only twice this century (2001 and 2023); the Royals are even worse, having won the season series in 2014 and lost 18 of the other 21 (the teams split in 2005, 2008, and 2011). In the playoffs, Tigers teams managed by Jim Leyland are a combined 10-3 against the Yankees and have won all three series they have played (2006 ALDS, 2011 ALDS, 2012 ALCS). All other Central teams are a combined 9-25 and have lost nine of 10 series, with the lone series win coming from Cleveland in the 2007 ALDS (home of the infamous Joba bug game). Minnesota accounts for six of those series losses, with a 2-16 record (the Twins won one game each in the 2003 and 2004 Division Series). With the Yankees hosting the White Sox this weekend, we'll get a near-immediate glimpse of whether current trends will continue...
