I had somebody tell me last week that the Orioles made the worst trade in the past decade sending Arrieta to the Cubs. I said, well if he had done anything in Baltimore he'd still be an Oriole. The Orioles didnt do anything wrong. Jake never got it done here. Im tired of hearing about him. Between him and Dexter Fowler I hope the Cubs dont even make the playoffs!

Hesitant to start this up again, but some fans think this clearly was a failure on the O's part, that our coaching staff didn't do their jobs in tapping Jake's true potential. Some comments Arrieta made last year about how he was handled here threw some gas on that particular fire, IIRC.

Water under the bridge, can't do anything about it now.

Funny thing is he gave up two bombs right after this tweet came out.

      Corbin Burnes 2024

      By skanar · Posted

      If I'm reading this correctly, the Orioles are 6th in defensive value this year and the White Sox are dead last by a lot: to date, they're at -54 runs; the worst team in baseball for all of '23 was -72 (https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/team_compare.cgi?request=1&year=2024&lg=MLB&stat=runs_fielding). So the difference between Burnes and Fedde must be the defensive adjustment. FWIW, fWAR using FIP has them even at 2.0 WAR apiece; using RA9 Burnes is ahead 2.9 to 2.4.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By emmett16 · Posted

      You do realize our pen has given up fewer runs, fewer hits, fewer BBs, has a lower WHIP, and has more Ks?  I get that they don’t pass your eye test, but the numbers don’t back that up.  With all that said, I think they need to reinforce the pen but let’s stop with the dramatics.

      The OP is too pessimistic. NYY is 5-5 in their last 10, Orioles are 8-2. NYY have cooled down, as predicted. The O's are getting them at the right time. With that said, it's baseball. Anything can happen. I would be surprised if the Orioles don't take at least 2 out of 3, though.

      Objectively speaking I would have WAY MORE confidence in Rodon than Irvin/Kremer/Suarez. And I LOVE what both Irvin and Suarez have done for us this season and couldn’t have dreamed of either giving us any more than they have.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      Holliday is not getting traded IMO, so there’s really no point in discussing that. But there is a case to be made that the other two are a bit redundant and if we plan on doing some extensions, they could be expendable (at least one of them). Off the top of my head. I would strongly consider Miller or Crochet for one of them. I guess I look at it like this, I can see a realistic plausible scenario of us winning a championship or more without the services of Basallo or Mayo. However, I cannot see ya winning this season as is without a meaningful upgrade to the current pitching. Many said all last season, the pitching was good as is, until it (predictably) wasn’t.

      Well for starters, there closer and set up man are both better than ours. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that the Yanks pen is better than the Phills by any stretch. But it is better than ours.
