Take this with a grain of salt, but my sources told me they were thinking about getting one of those Keurig coffee machines.

That is likely to be a long process -- a lot of different models to choose from.  :confused:

It's gonna be more complex than that. Take this with a grain of salt, but I heard Dan wants the Keurig but Buck is sorta lukewarm. Brady wants to block the whole thing cause he is against caffeine. And then just this week, Chris Davis personally called Peter Angelos to say if he got the machine he would have a better year next year...

Brady's against caffeine?  How else do you explain 1996 then?

I don't see Dan getting fired or resigning, but I could see Brady's role changing incrementally.  If it does, I would consider that a sign that Dan won't be back after 2018.

I could definitely see a new pitching coach and I wouldn't be upset.  It would be great if a good, long look was given to the development process in the minors while they're at it.

Wasn't Brady responsible for us signing Trumbo and our pitching and bullpen coach from last year leaving?  I think Brady should be let go along with Buck.

My understanding is that Brady helped facilitate the Trumbo deal.  That does not necessarily mean he approved of or advocated the signing.

Dunno.  But until Brady's role is considerably clarified, I wouldn't object to seeing him go either.  Or maybe he should stay.  What the heck does he do all day long anyway?  Anybody know?

Bordick will say that it is the hardest working coffee machine you can get. It will never quit and put up good coffee.

 

Roch will milk it for all it works.He will say it is the cream of the crop.Also when it fails he will never criticize it and blame all the other coffee machines but never Keurig.

Dan wants to let the market percolate.

Again Buck in the postgame with the time to home plate comments....I swear if I have to listen to another year of "just command of the fastball, we saw how he presented himself, and they need to learn at Aberdeen to have better time to the plate"   I am going to scream.   Good grief.

Is it time to "replace the losing culture" again?

You mean the five winning seasons in a row losing culture? More like replace three starting pitchers. This season was yuck, but this isn't losing culture. We've seen what losing culture really looks like.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      ???. Cowser took more swings against LF than any other LH hitter on the team ( not named  Henderson). He was one of the guys they did not platoon.

      Kevin Seitzer hitting coach?

      By Big O · Posted

      I think Kevin Seiyltzer was the fall guy for a team that thought they were a championship team.  This guy has overseen more a decade of hitting in Atlanta, has been through developing and helping young batters succeed when the league adjusts.  Most importantly, he has a ring!

      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.
