I hope the Astros go down in flames in a late inning situation. Dodgers too. This year, when the Orioles make the wild card game, Zach is coming in in the 7th. He's going to get the 3 inning save to make up for last year.

He may not sleep for two months because they way Britton has looked lately and the Astros bullpen being awful last two weeks is going to have th fans on him.  He better hope that they win it all.

I sure hope the Stros are headed to the WS.  I think the Stros GM takes more heat on this board that he actually does. I would imagine the team might have pitchers in their minors that can come up. At least I hope so.

Play for a few years at a 40 million payroll and trading for prospect, prospects, prospect. See how it works. It's a pretty good plan. If fans will still attend. And MLB doesn't move the team.

That's a load on nonsense.

Give me an example of MLB moving a team without ownership's approval.

They don't care if teams win games or if payroll is low or even if fans come out.

If ownership hadn't wanted out of Montreal they never would have moved.

It takes stuff like what went on with Frank McCourt to get their attention.

So it has never happened.

The 1988 team which played at Memorial Stadium and lost 107 games drew 1,660,738.

Two of the four seasons in which the Rays made the playoffs their attendance was lower than 1,660,738.

But they might forceably move the O's if they decide to rebuild?

If they spent 40 million per season. But twist my story. Please.

      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

      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.
