Ugh. A guy named Joe Willie going up against a Baltimore team. Don't like that at all.

(Also, he had an ERA of nearly 6 back in May and has steadily gotten better as the season progressed. Need a good outing from Ubaldo tonight).

I know this team in not making the playoffs of course. So I will be looking see how our young talent (Schoop, Gausman etc.) finishes the season looking into next year. As for the vets, some of them will be gone. I want to enjoy watching O'Day, I want to enjoy Crush's enormous power while we still have them (should they leave).

I see JP has the same hair color as he did in '76. Good for him. :)

“It doesn’t bother me,” Ortiz said of the liberal accusations about Dominicans falsifying their dates of birth. “A lot of guys have used different identity.”

Even so, Ortiz also expresses sympathy for those players who do falsify their ages in hopes of pursuing a career in the majors. Ortiz considers himself fortunate, having come from a middle-class upbringing in the Dominican Republic, where he received a good educational grounding.

But he recognizes that the motivation for many of his countrymen in pursuing a major-league career is desperation.

“I don’t blame (the players),” said Ortiz. “If (2002 A.L. MVP Miguel Tejada, who last year admitted that he was born in 1974 rather than 1976) would have said what his age was at the time, they wouldn’t have signed him.

“You see kids coming out of the Dominican, they’re two, three years older, but they’ve got the skills to play the game – and they know they have the skills – but just because they’re two or three years older, they won’t get signed.

“They’re just trying to get out of their struggles, and that’s the only way. If you see what we go through, coming out of our country, how bad we struggle, and the only way that you can make it out was doing that – I’m not saying it’s right to do it, but if that’s the only way, what would you do? Would you prefer somebody becomes a drug dealer or that somebody changes his name to make it out?”

“It was just a matter of cleaning up the record,” said Smith. “He brought all the changes to us as far as his name and his birth date. We didn’t have any reason to suspect anything.”

The change in Ortiz’ listed birth date involved no formal documentation. When Ortiz told the Twins that his birth date was Nov. 18, they simply accepted the change at face value. There were no birth certificates presented, no documents verified by national immigration officials.

How old is he. What was he willing to do to not become a drug dealer?

      Heyman on deadline targets

      I think if you look at it draft by draft most years Elias did not have a chance to take a pitcher early. 2019 was Adley/Witt, 2020 everyone wanted Austin Martin SS over Kjerstad, 2021 it was Cowser or a few high school SS, and 2022 it was 5 position players at the top of the draft. I think Asa Lacy or Max Meyer were the only pitchers we could have possibly taken up until last year.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By casadeozo · Posted

      Crochet had a monstrous game tonight. 7 IP 2 H 1 ER 2 BB 13 Ks I would love to have him even if it meant moving him to the bullpen for the final stretch but someone is gonna drastically overpay for him with top of rotation potential and 2x additional seasons of club control.    assuming it starts with Mayo, Kjerstad, Povich etc

      Heyman on deadline targets

      I would like to see the O's have more success drafting and developing their own pitchers under Elias.  But I must concede that so far Elias has an excellent track record of getting good young controllable pitching from other teams farm systems  (Bradish, Povich, McDermott, Cano) or the waiver wire (Suarez, Webb, Perez).   The development of these pitchers suggests that we have excellent coaching in the high minors and in the majors.  There's more than one way to skin a cat. At this point I don't see a need to trade farm system capital for a top-line starting pitcher like Luzardo.  If the season ended today I'd feel really good about going into a playoff series with Burnes, Rodriguez and Bradish as our big three starters.   I also see no point in getting Crochet midseason as he's not going to be able to carry a starters' load into October.  It's more likely that we trade for bullpen help now, and then address starting pitching in the offseason if Burnes moves on.

      I would rather trade for Kikuchi than Luzardo. His FB has gotten hammered pretty much every year besides 2022 and he gets very few whiffs on it. His slider and changeup are both really good but he throws them less than 50% of the time combined. He could probably improve just by throwing those pitches more but not sure how successful he can truly be with that FB.

      They made a conscious choice to not draft pitching, instead to let other teams, draft, pitching, and deal with the failures. I see their logic and I don’t disagree with it, but the flipside is that when you need pitching, you have to pay the going rate. And that’s something that Mike doesn’t seem to want to do.  And that’s a wee bit o’ trouble, it tis…
