From Roch:

Executive vice president Dan Duquette wasn't able to make a trade last night as the midnight deadline approached for including players on the postseason roster.

"We were working with a team right up until about 10:30, but it didn't work out," Duquette said.

Asked whether he was pursuing a pitcher or hitter, Duquette replied, "We were trying to get some pitching.

REALLY AAhhh....It's a tad late NOW! :slytf: you got to be kidding me I wonder who he dangled out there and for who?

You think maybe, it was more next season, and just a one month rental.

He should be sued for GM criminal negligence for not trading our pending FA's before the July deadline.

Here is my prediction for the offseason

We will make QO's to O'day, Davis, and Chen and not make a serious attempt to sign any. We will be to risk adverse to offer Wieters a QO.

So we would net 3 compensatory picks, that's something but wait...

We will sign two free agents not as good as O'day, Chen or Davis and end up with only one compensatory pick

Wait and see

I am not sure they offer QO to O'Day, that would be one hell of a pay increase for him and relievers dont make 15+ million per year.

It's rather cute/sad that Dan was actually trying to make a deal last night, as if getting another pitcher could rekindle the team's playoff chances. Sort of a ritualistic bow to the conventions of appropriate baseball management.

Kind of like when Buck matches up in the bullpen when the O's are trailing by a couple of runs in the late innings, as if there's a chance that the O's could come back.

If they are too risk adverse to offer Matt a QO, they definitely wont offer one to ODay.

100% we offer a QO to Chen, Wieters and Davis. Not offering 1 to Wieters makes no sense. He might take the QO and that would be just fine.

I predict DD will make signing O'day a top priority, maybe even before the season ends. He doesn't want to risk Oday taking the QO and he doesn't want to risk letting Oday walk. Will 3years / 30 mill get it done?

I don't think there is any doubt that O'day will get a 3/25+ deal which is much better for him than a 1/15+, so I see no risk in giving a QO

I really doubt that anyone is going to give MW a multi year deal, so I think its possible he accepts a QO and of course the O's don't want to pay him 15+ million.

There is logic behind not offering Wieters a QO. If you fail to acknowledge it, it doesnt mean it doesnt exist.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
