For some reason I have a gut-level dislike of Miley, aside from his poor pitching.    His body language on the mound and even in the dugout always has annoyed me.    

I agree Frobby, he has this cocky persona which is really hard to take from a guy that is one of the worst in his profession.

I really want to see him embarrassed with a DFA before the Sept roster expansions.

I don't see cockiness in Miley at all.  He seem like he does not have much confidence in himself to me.  On or off he mound.  Probably a real nice guy.  But he is not effective.

For some reason, Miley to me looks a like he was in a deep sleep and got woken up 10 minutes before game time.  And was told hey you're pitching tonight, wake up!

If the Orioles do sell, I don't want to see Miley and Ubaldo start another game.  Let Asher, Aquino and whoever else in the system have a chance.

Giving Miley and Ubaldo repeated chances is sinking the O's chance at the post season.  They were 3 1/2 back now 4 1/2 back after Miley and with Ubaldo pitching it could drop to 5 1/2 back.  

Roch said that Ubaldo is not a money issue. I guess they kept him all these years for his personality. Roch pumping the MASN propaganda again.

I’ll write again that this isn’t a money issue with ownership. The Orioles can go down that road if they choose to do it.

      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.

      For Mountcastle …Maybe Chase Petty and Tristan Smith?

      I’m guessing they ask for Mayo or Basallo of Kjerstad. For me …I’d give them Kjerstad since he’s defensively challenged IMO. Maybe Kjerstad, McDermott, Beavers, and O’Ferrall?

      192 wins in two seasons is a pretty strong argument to stay the course.  That said, I wonder if the young players wouldn't be better off long-term if the scientific matchups took a back seat to the raw talent a little more than we've seen.  Overthinking something can be a thing you know.
