I posted in the gamethread Why would he leave? Didn't know how low the option was. But my reasoning was still sound. He'd want to renegotiate with us and sign. Good team, winning team, why not sign? Post game interview tonight! He said being back home he gets to be "back with family." He and his family already bought a house here. Why move? We'd be on his short list if we just put up the bucks.

Chance Sisco isn't god. Chance Sisco isn't even Matt Wieters. Caleb can't be a #1. Just spend the money and sign him.

Well said what and awesome pickup he's been, I say KEEPER.

Castillo's BA is 147 points higher than Machado's. Maybe he should bat 3rd and Manny bat 6th...

I was surprised as hell Schoop led off last night. Buck still throws a curve now and then.

He walked twice. 

That was even more suprising

Amazing when these guys bat leadoff they understand that they are supposed to get on base and they actually take a few walks. Worked with Jones for a while

I'd like to see Manny at leadoff so maybe he'd cut down on his swing and start to make more/better contact.

See some pitches. So the 2 and 3 hitters can see them too. Kim was/is so good at that!

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      ???. Cowser took more swings against LF than any other LH hitter on the team ( not named  Henderson). He was one of the guys they did not platoon.

      Kevin Seitzer hitting coach?

      By Big O · Posted

      I think Kevin Seiyltzer was the fall guy for a team that thought they were a championship team.  This guy has overseen more a decade of hitting in Atlanta, has been through developing and helping young batters succeed when the league adjusts.  Most importantly, he has a ring!

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I honestly think there is very little difference in most the teams that made the playoffs.  The most wins was 98 wins and there was 12 teams with 86 wins or more.  It also seems that many of the teams are on the same page with scouting and analytics now hitting wise.  Years back you had moneyball which the A’s used before anyone else.  Then the Astros and few teams started with analytics and seemed to be ahead of the rest of the league but they have caught up now imo.  Now the move seems to be on launch angle and hitting homers by getting the ball in the air but that seems to be across the league.  Obviously some teams have more money and more talented players but the strategy seems about the same.  The main differences I see is in pitching in the playoffs which is bullpen games and using openers rather then a starter to go 7 innings and carry your team to win now a slight sign of trouble they are taking them out.  With all these short inning guys and pitching them in certain pockets we are seeing very little offense and the hitting with runners in scoring position has been awful.  It all comes down to RISP at bats and getting 1 or 2 big base hits in those situations.  We just haven’t been able to get those hits so far in short series.

      And we've seen similar with Kjerstad. Kjerstad might be the best pure hitting prospect in the Orioles system of recent years besides Gunnar. I want to see him playing everyday next year is possible none of this sitting him versus LHP more often than not. These prospects need to get their reps and stop treating them like John Lowenstein and Benny Ayala.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I don’t see Elias trading off prospects anymore at least top guys.  We have moved a few guys in last year and I expect they try to build that back up.  They should have money to use if they want to add talent.

      Blah, well Rob Manfred has to be happy along with Fox network. A Yankees-Mets World Series match up is still on the table and the Dodgers as well if they win tomorrow. I knew the Royals would get jettisoned by the Yankees without too much of a fight.
