What's amazing to me about Givens is that he doesn't look that different from his days as a HS pitcher (except he's much thicker now, with a bubble butt). Maintains velocity much better and execution is better on CH/SL, but the stuff is remarkably similar to what he was already flashing as a HS senior.

We can talk all we want about the SP, whom I have criticized, and the recent BP problems, but we simply don't hit enough. HR or nothing. It just isn't working.

Exactly. It's great to have hitters with power, but you can't always hit the home runs. You need to get the walks, and the singles, and score that way along with the homers. That's how the top offense teams do it.

Molitor is just crushing May and Jepsen this series. 3 days in a row for both of them. No way they pitch tomorrow and maybe Tuesday.

Since they will no longer be playing us, they can rest.

Seriously, are we watching the Orioles next closer?

Maybe, at the very least your watching the guy who make it unnecessary to resign O'Day which is a good thing. This team has to many holes to fill to be giving 6 or 7 million per year to a reliever who is not closing.

That isn't bad, not bad at all.

      2024 Ongoing Lineup Thread

      By Rbiggs2525 · Posted

      I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.

      Anthony Santander 2024

      By Sydnor · Posted

      It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.

      Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted.

      No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.

      The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.

      I would be very surprised if every last one of the GM's Elias talks to about quality starting pitching doesn't start by asking about Westburg and the rest.  Again, I think it's a mistake to believe that the O's have a ton of leverage here.  They certainly have some, and Elias is smart and disciplined, but I don't see any bargains.  I especially don't see the luxury of acting like youth and multiple years of control is any kind of rigid starting point for the O's.
