Manny has really matured this year and sure hope he is an Oriole for life! 

I think he was tipping his cards when he put "Mr. Miami" on his jersey. I wouldn't blame him. He'd be a citywide celebrity down here for the rest of his life, surrounded by hometown Bros.

I'd rather have Manny in Miami than most other places besides Baltimore.

I"d be happy for him and Miami, whose fans lost another potential lifelong legend in Jose Fernandez.

I hope we get a great return.

You mean our supplemental 1st round draft pick?    Regardless of what we should do, I just don't see Angelos/Duquette/Showalter trading Manny away.

Understood, I've seen their pattern--but I'm not giving up hope yet!

I would understand not extending Manny if we hadn't handed Davis that albatross of a contract. That will be infuriating and borderline unforgivable if we could have kept Manny but for the cash we forked over for Mr. Strikeout.

I made that comment (not quite in those colorful terms) the day we signed Davis.

I bet. We all hated that deal I think.

If this all comes to pass, I would logically try to take a break from the O's out of principle. But then there's that whole "I'm an irrational fan with an unhealthy obsession with my team" thing.

      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.
