I'll wait until we see who replaces him before I dance on any graves.

It can always get worse.

I would never dance on any graves ....It will likely be John Angelos and I hope he's more reasonable in his decision making!

Speaking of the Sonny Gray deal ...The comp for Britton from the Dodger swould be Calhoun, Ruiz, and Heredia .

Could adjust to White instead of Ruiz ...but we'd need to flip Calhoun

Britton isn't worth as much as Gray, though.

$160 million payroll in a bottom 10 market.  I like PA.  

Do you think those dollars are being well spent?

How are you with his near-zero $$ spent in the international market? Do you think that's worked out pretty well? Or do you think that's a decision Duquette made? xD

      I would guess that Dean will follow Hank Greenberg’s precedent of playing on Rosh Hashanah.

      The Royals are also a weaker draw than the Tigers. Whenever tbe Tigers are in town, I am always impressed with the number of their fans present, not so for the Royals.

      Suarez was third I believe. Unless his innings yesterday pushed him to 2nd.

      A look at the Orioles by month -- 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      September 2024 13-12 record 5-7 at home 8-5  on the road 4-5 vs. AL East 0-2 in one-run games 0-2 in extra innings Batting 4.32 runs per game was 5th in the AL .246 BA was 3rd .316  OBP was 4th .398 SLG was 4th .714 OPS was 3rd 1.20 HR/game was 4th .246/.327/.365 with RISP (248 PA, 211 AB, 52 H, 81 TOB, 77 TB) Pitching 3.85 ERA was 9th in the AL 4.12 runs allowed per game was 8th 1.24 HR/game was tied for 10th fewest 2.94 starters' ERA was 2nd 5.51 IP/Start was 2nd 5.31 bullpen ERA was worst in the AL 5 saves was tied for 10th  7 save opportunities  2 blown saves  Defense 8 unearned runs was tied for 6th fewest 0.52 -5.3 fangraphs defense  -6.7 UZR (-2.6 OF, -4.1 IF)  -8 OAA (-2 OF, -6 IF) +3  Rtot -1 Rdrs  Cumulative through September Batting 4.85 runs per game was 2nd in the AL .250 BA was 3rd .315  OBP was 4th .435 SLG was 1st .751 OPS was 2nd 1.45 HR/game was 2nd .251/.314/.428 with RISP (1490 PA, 1298 AB, 326 H, 465 TOB, .555 TB (.741 OPS with RISP was 9th in the AL) Pitching 3.94 ERA was 8th in the AL 4.31 runs allowed per game was 8th 1.08 HR/game was 4th lowest 3.77 starters' ERA was 4th 5.44 IP/Start was 3rd 4.22 bullpen ERA was 11th 46 saves was 3rd 67 save opportunities was 6th 21 blown saves was tied for 5th fewest Defense 67 unearned runs was 12th fewest in the AL 0.50 errors per game (81 errors) was 5th fewest -6.0  fangraphs defense was 10th best in the AL +6.7 UZR was 6th best in the AL (+=-1.7 OF, +8.4 IF) -9 OAA was 10th (+11 OF, -20 IF) -21 Rtot was 11th +1 Rdrs was 11th Conclusion:   The perception that the Orioles' offense was terrible for most of September was partially incorrect, because offense was down drastically around the league this month.   The whole AL averaged only 3.92 runs/game for the month, and the O's at 4.32 were substantially better than that.   If you remove the final week when the O's were operating on all cylinders, the O's still averaged 3.73 runs/game, which is bad but doesn't look nearly as bad when you realize how much offense was down generally in September.   The starting pitchers, on the other hand, were unbelievably good at 2.94 ERA (2nd best in the AL), while the bullpen was absolutely atrocious at 5.31 (worst).   Yet, the bullpen only blew 2 saves -- what they mostly did was let games we were already losing get out of hand, like the last game of the Yankees series where Burnes left the game losing 1-0 and then the bullpen coughed up 9 runs.   That happened a lot this month, and this season.  Finally, by most advanced measures, the defense was below average in September though neither the errors nor unearned runs were awful. Looking back at all of 2024, the team was 2nd in the AL in runs per game and tops in OPS+.   The offense was inconsistent at times, and not very good with RISP or at situational hitting, but bottom line is they scored more runs than every AL team but the Yankees.   The pitching overall was middle of the pack, but marked by a very good performance by the starting pitchers (3.77 ERA was 4th in the AL) and a very poor one by the bullpen (4.22 ERA was 11th).   They did not blow many saves (69% save rate was 3rd best in the AL), but let a lot of narrow deficits get out of hand.   The defense went downhill as the year went along, particularly in the infield, which was +2 OAA at the end of June but ended up -20 for the year.  As the O's head for the playoffs, I'm hoping to see the bats remain hot, but with better situational hitting, and I'll be crossing my fingers that the bullpen and defense do better in the postseason than they did the second half of 2024.

      I'm guessing it's no problem and Dean will pitch. As someone mentioned earlier in the thread, it'd be malpractice for the O's to throw Suarez 6 IP yesterday if Kremer was unavailable for this series.
