That's crazy, it's the cutoff man's job to be in position to field the throw, if Torres doesn't touch it then Roberts fields it and the run doesn't score.

Palmer noted that Scott's foot slipped out from under him as he made the throw. It wasn't a "good" throw FWIW.

Are you saying Torres was in bad position or that he shouldve just let it go over his head to Roberts?

Yes but Torres was already in position to cut off the throw while Scott was still fumbling around with it in the outfield. Isn't he supposed to try to hit the cutoff man?

The runner had stopped, if the cutoff man keeps the ball in front of him the run doesn't score. You rarely see an error on an outfielder making a throw to the cutoff man.

The one glaring weakness for Trembley as a manager is his deference to players over age 35. Either something has to be done about it or we need to get all the old guys off the roster.

I don't follow. It's not like Scott Moore has proved he is ready to take over for Mora or Millar. And it's not like Payton is getting preference over Jones or Luke Scott. Even Quiroz is getting some playing time, thankfully.

I don't blame Trembley for trying to get another inning or two out of Trachsel. The O's don't have a day off again for awhile, and they'll need the bullpen to be as rested as possible over the next week or more.

      I have to think that 5/6 will get more competitive, at least.

      I have not seen any reports of a limit on the number of qualifying offers a team can make.   I disagree that Santander is unlikely to receive a QO, or that he will accept it if he gets one.  Of course, it depends how the rest of his season plays out.  But I’ve been on record that if Santander has a season as good as the last two (120/121 OPS+), he should get a QO and will turn it down.  Right now he’s at 131 OPS+, so we’ll see how it goes from here.

      I was curious how GRod would pitch given that huge crowd and electric atmosphere. I feel like he has a tendency to get too amped up and overthrow. Granted I didn’t start watching until inning 3, but he looked absolutely in control and executed his pitches.  Certainly a big step forward as far as I’m concerned.

      Unless Santander goes on an absolute tear the rest of the season, I don't think he turns down a qualifying offer. And even then, it'd be real easy to look at FA deals for 30-ish year old outfielders who are good regulars but not stars and realize there's a good chance he won't beat a QO in guaranteed money, especially with a QO attached. As much as I'd like the pick, I don't want to gamble 20-30M and another year of stunted opportunity for our young outfielders on Santander turning down a QO.

      Yeah, it's getting to the point where I'm not going to cry if McDermott finishes the year in AAA. I'm not against bringing him up necessarily, but he's clearly got more work to do on control/command if he wants to be a good major league starter long-term.

      Are there any other qualifications other than signing a contract for 50+M?  A contract of that value spread over 3-4 years would give him a raise and make other teams give some consideration to sign him.  I think that's the only way a QO would work for him.  But I don't think they put him in jeopardy - altho the Orioles could match an offer, I suppose.  I think they value him pretty highly even if he won't command top money.

      Keith Law has O's taking Tommy White at #22 in latest mock draft

      By ChosenOne21 · Posted

      I did say "unlikely" before "no matter what." Now that I re-read that though, it's kind of a bizarre sentence so I can see why you interpreted it that way. Of course there's a shot a player taken at 1-22 succeeds. Elias is certainly above average at drafting, possibly well above average, but the odds are still against him here, as they are for pretty much any individual pick he makes. I'm not trying to knock Elias here, just stating the fact that the vast majority of players selected in the back of the first round don't turn into solid regulars and so you shouldn't pass up someone you think is more likely to succeed here to draft "for need." I'm certain someone who will be available at this pick will have an incredible major league career. The odds are against it being whoever we draft though. That's just math.
