It's surprising because Jo is defiantly one of Buck's faves. Be nice to see the biggest & most expensive faves of all given the fake injury demotion, then Trey is moved off LF forever (he can burn his OF glove) to 1b. Promote Stewart and give people a reason to watch this team.

They have to see what they have with Susac.  He was a BA top 100 prospect and a top 10 catching prospect who made the league at age 25 after putting up a solid .800+ OPS in AAA.  His career was largely derailed by injury but was considered a big get when the Brewers traded for him.

I love Joseph, but he barely made Orioles prospect lists and really overachieved to reach the league for as long as he has, a testament to his preparation and work ethic.

So who exactly were those ace talent evaluators who just two months ago had Tillman  in the rotation and Joseph as the regular catcher and Beckham as the regular third baseman and still thought we would somehow contend?   Buck, Brady or Dan?  

Hopefully whomever was in control a couple of months ago has been removed from decision making power.

I think Boog burned his too when they moved him from left field back to first in 1965.

Wow. I guess when you're  in last place, 13-29 and you have vets who aren't producing, what the heck . . . 

Beginning of the beginning?

  

This possibility was first discussed here on the hangout. Congratulations to all whose speculation has become reality.

Joseph has been hitting a bit better and Susac just got off the disabled list.

Alrighty...

I really don't have a problem with this its past time to do SOMETHING. He was not getting it done try somebody else. No it no magic cure for sure, but like I said TRY SOMETHING your in LAST PLACE.

NOW WHEN THE HELL IS DAVIS GOING TO SIT!!

Susac is also starting today.

After the impressive, full spring he had and all the games he played in Norfolk, he really must of shown something. ?

We face lefties tonight, tomorrow, and Sunday.

Caleb is old and has been a bad player.  I am surprised it has taken so long.  First Satander and then Joseph.  The team looks like it has finally started to care about performance,. Next Wright and Pedro should be let go.  If we get rid of enough dead wood we could become a .500 team.

Santander had litte/nothing to do with performance and nearly everything to do with his Rule V time being complete. 

There isn't enough "dead wood" being dropped that can make this team a .500 club (this year).

Wonder if this is Duquette's way of getting Buck to play Sisco everyday

Kinda like when he DFA's Teagarden 

Maybe. A Catcher can only play so much. I see Susac getting a 30 day audition and then we will turn to Wynns and see what he can do. For Susac it’s either play well or get DFAd.

Look folks, Joseph is not an everyday catcher. I was shocked when he started the season as our #1. He can't hit and has been very poor throwing runners out this year. I'm looking forward to see what Susac has.

Joseph being sent down, I'd classify him as a Buck guy. Probably just reading too much into the situation, but was curious to hear Tony's take on it.

That was my first thought but then all we hear is how Dan has no power. It looks like a Dan move unless this is Brady taking over.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By Warehouse · Posted

      He was allowed to face LHP.  My post wasn’t disagreeing with your post.  I was saying that not only did we let him face LHP, we let him do so despite not having much success against LHP.  I was pushing back against the narrative that we needlessly platooned Cowser.  Not only did we not platoon him, there is a reasonable argument that we should have platooned more than we did. We needed to play one of Mullins and Cowser in CF. Cowser mostly got the call vs. LHP because he was much better against LHP in the first half of the year, but this flipped in the second half.

      rWAR Year of birth leaders after 2024 - notable Orioles

      By Just Regular · Posted

      From Adley to Basallo, I think Elias has eight Bats I hope we get to see all take 600 PA simultaneously some season. Adley was born in 1998, and until he arrived Elias Orioles baseball was bad by design.    For flavor, leaders of those teams like 1994-1997 births Mullins, Santander, Hays and Mountcastle are all between 10th and 20th among bats born their year.   Your team might be drafting Jackson Holliday if they are your club's best players in a rebuild, unless you have great pitching, which...haha, we know Elias' game. MLB Baseball is mostly played by guys 24-32.    286 batters cleared 300 PA in 2024 - about 12% were 33 and up by Fangraphs seasonal age assignments, about 8% were 23 and down. This is just a once a year post, but looking at Bats born from Adley's 1998 to Basallo's 2004, here's how the Orioles achievements compare with MLB's best by rWAR. 1998 - Adley is 4th 1999 - Westburg is 9th, and Kjerstad is 33rd 2000 - Cowser is 16th 2001 - Gunnar is 1st, and Mayo is nearly last, having dug a deep hole in his initial PA.    Trivia - Darell Hernaiz one of the 3 beneath Mayo.    Noelvi Marte dead last also has a PED suspension, d'oh. 2003 - Holliday is 4th - Minnesota the last weekend he got himself out of negative WAR territory. 2004 - Basallo is n/a as Chourio alone has played MLB from that birth year.    Basallo did log the most high minors experience of the 2004 births during the 2024 season. In 2025, Gunnar enters the 24-32 range as Judge departs it.     Cowser's improvement after an off-season a story of comfort for Holliday and Mayo - can they approach his ~3.5 win contribution? Strong, young teams - doing this exercise highlighted Adley's Orioles a little younger than the Braves and all their famous contract extensions.    Acuna, Albies and Riley were all born the year before Adley.   On the AL side of the competition, Yordan and Kyle Tucker also 1997 holding up a strong competitor, though not one that is young anymore.     Judge and Gerrit hoping Soto please stays.    Soto from 1998 - you have to reach back to 1994 for Correa, Bregman and C. Seager to find anyone ahead of him.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By Camden_yardbird · Posted

      The Orioles have a lot of flexibility both in terms of prospects, money and potential veterans that hold value. Vets - I could see the Orioles moving on from any of Mountcastle, Mullins, Urias, or O'Hearn. These players may hold the most potential to bullpen upgrades. Money - The Orioles will certainly spend this offseason and that more flexibility than they have had.  I would like to see 1 or 2 extensions, 1 high profile FA, and maybe 1 more solid addition. Prospects - I could see any of the big 4 going somewhere.  I really think the Orioles and Pirates match up really well.  The Pirates have a plethora of young pitchers and the Orioles have young hitters.  I wouldn't be surprised to see the two match up.

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      The hitting philosophy works. That’s why they have been winning the last two years.     Plenty of runs scoring off HR’s in the playoffs.

      They would probably want two of Mayo, Basallo, Holliday, and Kjerstad, plus other pieces (likely at least one good pitching prospect, so someone like Povich or McDermott), for both Crochet and Robert.
