The real disappointment is the offense. Reality is, with our SP, you expect a lot of 9-7 high scoring games. The Orioles however are not hitting plain and simple..and I think it amplifies the pitching issues.

Plus the lack of offense places a lot of stress on the already bad pitching.

Mancini is the bright light of this season.

He's not talking most value for 2017.   But long term value.   Nats are absolutely desperate for late inning relief.   They know they won't advance in the playoffs with what they are.   I don't know if Brach could bring an Eduardo Rodriguez level guy but Britton certainly could if healthy.

This.  A healthy Britton under team control through 2018 will most certainly get you a good prospect, maybe two.  With the Nats bullpen being a complete dumpster fire, Brach might net you an Eduardo Rodriguez level prospect if the Nats get desperate enough.

You're not wining a world series with Albers as your closer.

I get what your saying ..but we have a need today. Long term solutions should be refocused to our farm system.

Oh wait.. your right.

They seem like a perfect trade candidate.

 

Think we could trade Britton for Ross? They seem to have plenty of starters and I doubt he would make their post season roster.

That could be a good deal for both teams.   Could even help us the rest of this season.  I assume Ross is under team control at least through 2020 or 2021?

Hardy should have to do 20 pushups every time he pops up.  Same for Davis and called strike threes. 

Hardy should do 20 every time he looks at a 1st pitch strike that is hittable.

      How much do we REALLY lose(and what do we gain) by replacing Urias at 3b with Mayo...or Norby going to 2b...and Westy back to 3B?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      For me it is less about would a Urias-Mayo or Urias-Norby switch change us from a .590 to a .580 team for a while, but who is the 9th guy in tournament lineups, and how are we preparing them? Maybe the strong early 2024 data from O'Hearn and Cowser mean the A team for October given health is set with Holliday in for Urias relative to a lineup we might see tonight, and everyone else tie goes to keeping your trade value maximized. I thought Jerry Dipoto let slip to all of us that 54% is the sweet spot

      Is Hyde/Sigbot burying another prospect?

      If you felt like you were making a joke, you have a very odd way of writing a joke. That 100% came across as a big FU to me for writing what I wrote.

      Watch us light it up against Cortes after having struggled so much against him the past 2 seasons, because that's baseball.

      Yeah, that's right.  There are those pinch hit extraordinaire types that can do it because that's their role, although I think that's more of a yesteryear type thing.   I agree on all points about Santander having a slow start this year, I don't believe anyone should think that's who he is...it's just a slow start.  But that doesn't mean he can't be spelled from time to time, either.

      I still think you are missing the point a bit. This is not about taking any players out long term. O'Hearn is a starter on this team against RHP, and he should be. But say the Orioles run into a strong of right-handed pitching, what's wrong with giving him a day off? Now you have a great bat in the bench and you keep Kjerstad fresh so he can be a better bat on the bench. this is a team running out McCann, Mateo and Urias against lefties and sometimes righties so there are PH opportunities late in games.  Anyways, my whole point is giving guys off one day a week or once every 8-9 games to get him into games 3-4 times a week doesn't seem hard with a little lineup creativity. Isn't that the whole reason for having players be versatile?

      I don’t think they brought big Heston up to play and be eased into PT like Cowser/Westburg as part of a rotation.  Kjerstad was a move we made because someone got hurt. So he’s served his purpose. Now send him to AAA for a player more suited to be a bench player. I’d like to see, Kjerstad to AAA for Hicks. DFA Ramirez or Baumman.  Hays activated off the IL with McKenna DFA.  Big Heston gets his chance next year once Santa leaves. Heck, maybe Stowers is in the mix too if we move on from Santa.  Although, we probably need a RH bat. That could be Norby. So one of Heston/Stowers could be a part of a deadline deal for a reliever. My guess is we refuse to deal Heston, like how we refused to deal Cowser this offseason. Heston will be off limits. So a team will have to take a package of Stowers and Norby, or opt for other players not names Heston, Mayo, Basallo, and EBJ.  Overall, @Tony-OH is correct. Heston needs to be playing everyday.

      Yep, totally agreed on all points.   Gotta see what this guy has, it's time to do it.   Play him or trade him is all I was really saying.  And by playing him, I mean keep giving him at bats in Norfolk as an option, too.  Sitting him here isn't doing him any good, I don't believe.
