While eliminating one team from the market.

Yeah, eliminating teams is bad when it comes to Britton, there aren't a ton of clubs that are interested at the reported price.  With Brach, it doesn't worry me, pretty much every team that is trying to contend is looking for a guy like Brach.

A trade involving Phelps doesn't change Britton's market at all.

That's exactly what I just said in the post you quoted.  The Mariners weren't ever a team that could/would deal for Britton.

But I'd like to move both Brach and O'Day so one less team on the market looking for that level of reliever doesn't please me.

We weren't talking about Britton.  I just made the observation that if Britton lost a suitor it might be concerning.  However, we weren't talking about Britton and he didn't lose a suitor so I don't see how you interpreted my statement that way in the context of the chain of comments.  

But..I'll clear up my thoughts if I wasn't clear enough, the Mariners getting a set-up guy has no effect on Britton's market since they were never considered a suitor, and probably don't have a viable package to get him even if they were.

He does that to me all the time. I get what you were saying.

I had to reread it to get it.  I understand what he's saying.  Eliminating a team for Britton is worse than eliminating a team for Brach.  Since Seattle was not realistically in the mix for Britton, it's not a bad thing.

When LAD, Hou, CHC, and Tampa acquire bullpen help, that's when we should get concerned about Britton.

Hopefully management isn't as impressionable as the fanbase. As fans, we are allowed to be emotional and reactionary about the team; but we need management that makes cold, calculating decisions that are best for the future of the club.

This is why it would be honestly best right now for the team to lose.

Yeah, right now is such a struggle for me. Love seeing the Orioles win but man, if this winning makes us not trade a couple pen pieces/guys who are expiring for prospects to improve this teams future then I'm not going to be too happy.

But like I said, we also have two set up guys I'd like to see gone.

I've wasted entire evenings over exchanges like that. 

Glad I'm not alone. I really don't see him partake in too many discussions, it's more so just calling someone out for something they say when it's obvious that he took it the wrong way/didn't read it the right way.

Whatever, guess next time it's probably best to just ignore it.

The comma after the yeah made it crystal clear to me what he meant.

      Injuries have sucked, the pen has been an issue but is Adley the biggest problem?

      By MDK02 · Posted

      If you want to see how young superstars should play, look at Churios and Merrill. Both big time contributors to their teams in the post season, both players 20 and 21 years of age. Meanwhile, our Jackson doesn’t even get an AB. Something is just off with this organization and their development..

      I agree with some of the opening post. I cannot blame Hyde for this team not hitting. I believe it is completely analytical based. Analytics are against singles, walks, hit and run or bunts.    I know we can pick our guy to be upset with but I will go with Tony Taters. Adley hit a single to RF and with the right effort and baserunning he should have been on third base. Don’t have to talk about the terrible AB with the bases loaded. There was another play with the Massey single in the second that rubbed me the wrong way. The ball was hit 73 MPH and landed 250 feet. The RF wall is 325 feet away so how far is he playing back against Michael Massey? Tony did not strike me of a guy giving it everything he had to get to a fly ball. He basically assumed Mullins would get it and jogged in.

      Sometimes I regret being an Oriole fan

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      I would have taken this loss harder in the past guess I'm getting older. Also this team has been telegraphing for over a half season how this season would end. I don't want to hear stats on how many runs this team scored it's a lineup that lives and dies by the home run. The problem is the weather cools in October and the ball doesn't carry as well in summer at OPACY. The Orioles actually got good pitching, but the offense came up small yet again. Elias needs to rethink the types of hitters he has on the Orioles roster and evaluate the effectiveness of having two hitting coaches. There's even an offensive strategy coach and what exactly does he do? "Hey Adley next time you get up the plate try not to make an out".

      Completely agree and there's no reason the O's shouldn't be a serious player for Soto.  Him and one top starter and I'm happy.

      10/2 Orioles vs Royals Wild Card Game #2

      Add a couple of seasoned professionals who know how to win. Solid players who have been around a while. These young guys are talented for sure, but that’s not enough. They need to learn to play better as a team and know what it takes to win consistently.  I honestly think they get caught up in reading about how good they are, not proving it on the field day after day.

      Except Cruz wasn’t an overpay. He’s the rare older free agent that actually earned his money. By the way, Cruz was the 55th highest paid player when he signed his FA deal after he played for the Orioles. He wasn’t even that expensive.    But that’s just an aside. I understand what you’re saying and your point is valid. I’m just still irked that the Orioles basically punted in that offseason that Cruz walked. I hope they are fiscally brave enough to take the next step and not count on Holliday and Mayo to improve next years team.
