Well, you are a very detached and ironic kind of fan.    I really hate seeing the guys who were centerpieces of the team’s success now be such a big part of its failure.    

Tillman and Davis losing confidence in the erstwhile savior of the Orioles.  Prince Brady lurking in the corners of the clubhouse, scheming.  Duquette pacing the ramparts of Elsinore...err..Warehouse isolated and alone.  And now failure that has to be as much moral as factual.  CoC might be detached and ironic, but not me man.  Where's Shakespeare when you need him?  I'll bet he's turning in his grave over such a lost opportunity.

Wooden hangers and all. I do not believe cimota one bit about who Brady is as a person.

I think Frobby meant detached in a very specific way.

Manny is probably upset by the poor defense we've seen at shortstop this season and Jones is upset about the lack of production from the center fielder.

In Jones' defense, (as a batter) he appears to have run into some colossally bad luck with regard to balls in play.  The vast majority of his batted ball and plate discipline peripherals are the among the best ever recorded for him despite his bad results.

We won't talk about his outfield defense...

How much of that is Buck, and how much of that is ownership and/or other high-placed officials forcing him to keep playing those guys?  Problem is, we don't know.

If someone else has been writing the lineup card for him, he should have quit a long time ago. He's at fault either way.

I'd hate to be pissing on the wrong persons foot. We have no idea who is calling the shots in the background. Personally I think it's Angelos.,

Demoting Joseph was a curious move. Was Caleb a problem? Are Bundy and Gausman bleeped off? 

Well, one thing I remembered earlier...

Remember Bundy's dumpster fire game against the Royals? After the game, Caleb hinted that Bundy was dealing with something. Almost immediately, every Oriole writer and Buck jumped right up to say that Bundy was healthy, even giving us his FitBit steps for the following day.

Maybe it rattled some cages and Joseph, with his low average, was am easy choice to send out. @Tony-OH had also pointed out that Joseph was trending up at the plate at that point too.

Why is Celeb the bad guy for saying that? (I know you may not agree) just trying to understand. Is it just keeping things “in house”?

I've had my criticisms of Buck. But it's even more annoying when players being paid millions start pointing the finger when they aren't doing their job. Jones seems to be the self appointed leader, then lead. He can start by playing better himself. I'm  actually ready for this core to be gone.

I also thought it was implied Buck knew something was up with Bundy before the start. I remember questions of why did buck let him go out there then.

Jones has actually been a lot better with the bat of late.  Last 14 days 333/360/563.  He still isn't walking of course.  He's got a while before he can dig himself out of the hole he's in but it is progress.

      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.

      I hadn't digested before today that Andrew Walters, college relief prospect Elias wasn't able to sign from the '22 draft, became a '23 Cleveland selection and is in their postseason bullpen in '24. It looks like the regular season results were pretty extreme effectively wild - 6/5 K/BB in 8.2 innings, but just 1 hit. Walters taking the extra year at Miami got himself up to nearly a $1M bonus.
