Well. It makes me a little happy that to hear that Bobby Witt Jr. isn't the next Carlos Correia because I don't think we are intent on getting the #1 pick and I think KC is.  

I actually think once we trade Machado, our record will get better. We're going to bring up Mullins. Our defense is going to get better. Anyway... I don't think we will have the worst record in the league at the end of the season. More like #3 or #4. 

The Orioles will finish with either the worst or second worst record in MLB.  O's and KC each have 26 wins as of today, Miami currently with 39 wins has the third worst record.   I would be shocked if the O's catch the Marlins.

Yeah, we'd have to really go on a run to get past #2.

White Sox are 31-61 so the Orioles might catch them but that would be as low as they could go.

Sorry, missed them.  For this team, moving 5 games up in the standings will be very difficult, will almost certainly be without Machado and Britton.

It'll be the most Orioles thing ever if they win on the final weekend and lose the #1 spot to the Royals.  Can't even lose right.

There's no heavily consensus top player in the draft. Witt Jr. is nice, but there is also Rutschman, Abrams, and Greene. I'd be fine with any of those four at this point.

You never know.   After 93 games in 2010, we had the worst record, 3 games worse than Pittsburgh, 5.5 games worse than Seattle and Arizona, 7.5 worse than Houston.  We ended up better than Pittsburgh, Seattle and Arizona.   We nearly caught Kansas City, which had been 10 games ahead of us.    I can’t say I expect us to challenge anyone but KC and maybe the White Sox, but baseball doesn’t always go as you expect.

If I'm honest I think this team actually improves after a firesale and we get some young guys in there.

Yep, but there's a lot of time between now and the next draft, including whole seasons of college and high school ball.  In the event that there is a consensus #1 pick that rises to the top,  I'd like for us to get it.

Even when there is a clear consensus it doesn’t always turn out to be right.    Look at Harper vs. Machado, which is arguable either way but Harper was considered heads and shoulders above at the time.     Personally, I’ll take Manny.

For sure, but the Royals are absolutely awful and have less talent then we do.  I fully expect them to get #1 if we had to put $$ on it right now.

Buck Showalter isn't going to come walking into the manger's office to save the day this time.

Same, and honestly it's not particularly close for me.

True. I think I would take Machado over Harper as well... especially Manny as a 3B.

      2024 Week 6: Ravens vs Commanders

      By Baseball fandom · Posted

      I really hope the Ravens win this one. I hate all Washington teams and always root for them to lose but especially if they are playing Baltimore teams

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I really don’t see the point of trading Mullins, or even Mountcastle for a reliever. We need Mullins definitely, especially with Santander being a FA.  What good is a reliever if you can’t get a lead?  I just don’t like trading everyday players for relievers, especially when we have a good looking pen next year pre deadline, and what reliever would Mounty/Mullins even buy. Would that reliever even be an upgrade over what we already have? At this point, I’m thinking Mounty goes for some sort of RHH COF.

      Grade the Eflin Trade

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      We couldn’t have asked for more from the Eflin deal than what we got. 9 starts that kept the rotation afloat to even make the playoffs. Then a “good” playoff start in an elimination game where we had the luxury of going to the pen fast.  It’s always tough giving up prospects, but Eflin did exactly what we needed him to do post deadline.

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

      By SilverRocket · Posted

      There should be one philosophy, and that's what the O's claimed to have. There's just a lot more work to coaching 13 hitters (plus callups) than one person can do. Going through video, coordinating with the data folks, developing a plan, all that stuff. Only so many hours in the day.

      I have no idea why any team would want more than 1 philosophy across the board, especially a young team. Possibly a player's demands or contract calls for his own hitting coach.. but I stand by my wish.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      At cost considerations there is 2 players i'd rather have listed in that article over Crochet, Helsley leading that. Also Mountcastle to the Reds for a SP makes a lot of sense also.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Guilty. I'm working to be intentional to enjoy the day to day of a lot of exciting careers beginning, and not miss the moment as during say Peyton Manning's career in a different chapter of life when assured 14-2 or 13-3 seasons were four months of boredom while you waited to see what the playoff stumble would be this time.    SIGBOT's stuff works in the regular season same as Billy Beane's didn't in the playoffs. I don't follow Over/Unders, but would guess the 2025 Orioles are 1st or 2nd in the AL on early action.    My informal AL power rankings end of 2024: 1. A nonexistent Orioles team with a functional Adley Rutschman 2. Yankees with Soto 3. Tie between actual Orioles with broken Adley and end stage Astros that lost several series to hot Central teams 4. Yankees without Soto 5. Central I'm cheating Cleveland there for a joke, and hope they win, which they are plenty capable of doing.    It is an interesting matchup for the stuff the two teams are good at being very different.
