Even assuming this is stupid. Does he remember Jimenez and Cruz just two years ago????

Rosenthal just likes to bash the O's.

After they just lost the same pick for Fowler too. Maybe the issue is tied more to paying a pitcher $35M for the next three years only to have him not be able to pitch for a third or more of the contract. These guys Crack me up.

An Orioles staff member also defended the team’s stance on physicals to Peter Gammons, noting that after the O’s backed out of an agreement with Grant Balfour two years ago, Balfour has since badly struggled. Despite the criticism, the Orioles “were right. Dan [Duquette] didn’t deserve the grief he took,” the staff member said. “And if this is what the doctor thinks, why would we pay Gallardo half the amount? If he’s hurt, Peter [Angelos] and Dan don’t owe him anything.” Gammons also hears from two Orioles pitchers that Gallardo’s issue is “really unfortunate” and “apparently pretty serious.”

Could explain why the Rangers seemed to have babied Gallardo. Hoping to just get him through the season and hopefully get a pick.

Yikes, def sounds like no deal.

I think there is nothing but scraps of scraps left, not good.

That is too bad for the team and Gallardo. Another teams doctors might not have

the concerns the O's doctors do and would have signed him.

God am I glad they do their diligence with the physicals. It bothers a lot of people I know but the track record speaks for itself I think. Wonder if we try to add someone on a MiL deal or just go with what we got. I'd prefer another arm but I'm a little more optimistic than most since I think we get addition by subtraction with Norris gone and I think Tillman and Gonzo will rebound. I would have gone after someone else earlier in the offseason. What we really need to do at the risk of sounding like a broken record is improve how we develop our own arms.

      Who sits for Slater in Game One?

      I agree, McCann C is decision number one. After that, against a reverse split guy I think you just start your best overall players. However, O'Hearn has such poor splits vs LHP and so little experience I can't imagine they start him. Adley DH would allow Hyde to avoid the O'Hearn vs LHP decision. Kjerstad had hit lefties well but they gave him only 18 AB. That is a big ask of a rookie. Might be Adley if they think McCann makes Burnes better. Definite starters: Gunnar, Westburg, Santander, Mountcastle, Urias, Cowser Probable: Mullins Pick two: Adley, McCann, O'Hearn, Kjerstad

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      What you said here is what I’ve been trying to convey.  OAA and dWAR aren’t intended to measure the same thing.   They shouldn’t be mentioned together.  If Fangraphs took its FRV and Positional stats and added them together, then divided that number by 10ish to convert it from runs to wins, you’d have a stat to compare to dWAR.

      I think Adley is the DH tomorrow.

      Nice job pointing out Ragans pitches better against righties than lefties: The Orioles put a heavy emphasis on the pitcher's splits over the hitter's split, so Mullins could very well start. Interestingly though, lefties BABIP was a unsustainable .345. Here's his pitch% and results against lefties this year. With this info, I think the Orioles very well may start Mullins instead of Slater. Now, will they start O'Hearn over Rivera at DH?

      Nope I wanna see the guy with the better defense. Just pointing out that Slater’s only “advantage” is another liability. Plus, Reagan’s is a reverse splits guy.

      The late season partial revival was enough for BAL to finish 3rd MLB-wide to the Judge/Soto team and the Shohei/Mookie/Freddie one. Split up those first two and put another year on everybody else, and I like our shot to go 1st some season soon. Park effects, it is notable the FG readout gives the Orioles with a 250/315/435 line a fraction of a point edge in the 115 wRC+ tie for 3rd and 4th with the Diamondbacks, who posted a 263/337/440 line. Don't be dull, October Orange Machine.

      Mullins has slashed .196/.228/.278/.506 against lefties this year. Slater has not had a great year overall and his September was terrible, but the Orioles really like platoon matchups. Plus, having Mullins speed and pop on the bench gives them options late in games.
