Tom Davis just said just now on the 105.7 Wall to Wall Baseball show that last week, Buck came to him privately and said “*They* are thinking about trading Schoop.” And Tom found the use of the word “they” interesting. 

No, he made it up like I did. It is all a big conspiracy:)

watch em deal Mancini too...Its a joke.

Who in the blue hell would want Mancini right now?  He's closer to being in AAA right now than he is to being the guy who finished 3rd in the AL ROY voting last year.

Probably no one, but I would have loved to see them trade Mancini.  Davis ain't going anywhere, and Mancini isn't an outfielder.

I'm actually mostly in agreement here. This club was a disaster this year and not because of Buck.

Ignoring the lack of talent.

Do you think the O's have played fundamentally sound baseball?

Things like hitting cutoff men, running the bases correctly, situational hitting, etc...

I don't, and I think these are the things that a manager can control. I don't get the feeling that Buck ever addresses the stupid mental mistakes that his team has been consistently making.

He likes to get people angry with that stuff. We still do have an ignore feature I think. 

Can someone please tell me how to use this feature. This is a serious request...I looked but didn't find it.

I guess I just don’t see it as an issue.    The front office decides about trades, and the manager manages the players.   If Buck says “they” are thinking about trading Schoop or whatever, that does not signify to me that he has some agenda to distance himself from the team or the front office’s decisions.   It’s just reality that he’s not involved in those decisions.   It’s fairly clear that he buys in to the decision to do a rebuild.   The specifics of how it’s done aren’t up to him.

Mancini is young, controllable, has some potential to get back closer to where he was.  He's not blocked because he'll replace Trumbo after Trumbo leaves.  And his value is at the lowest it will probably ever be right now.  It makes zero sense to trade him.

Agreed. I never said it was an issue. It just jumped out at me and made me pontificate how long Buck might be around. I think he finishes out the year and hopefully DD selects the next manager.

I've been largely removed from watching the games this season, so my view is probably less tainted. But Buck doesn't get enough respect around here. He is a HUGE reason why we won anything over the past few years. To me, he is an Oriole legend. I wish he could have exorcised his own demons and gotten a team over the top. 

I'm totally cool with finding a younger/newer manager (although it probably won't matter what manager we have until we are close to competing again). But I think Buck deserves a lot of love on his way out of town.

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

      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.

      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.

      I don't see the O's trading Mullins without getting a replacement for him from somewhere.  It's doubtful we have anyone in the minors yet ready to step in for him.  Maybe the same for Urias since he's the perfect backup infielder.  I think Mateo and Mountcastle are more likely to be traded.

      You mean like how the Os dealt guys like Hays, Stowers and Norby?  Yea, guys who are good depth but guys we can stand to trade are guys I want to trade….and obviously Elias feels similarly. These guys carry value. The level of value depends on the player and you can debate the value of return but yes, you absolutely should trade out of depth and trade guys that perhaps that don’t match your team philosophies.  That’s what teams do.

      Who knows.  Lots of possibilities. There could be another trade like the Hays trade.  Or maybe you can get a ML ready arm that profiles as a high end reliever. I don’t think that you will get a proven lock down guy but that doesn’t mean you can’t get someone that will end up a big contributor.
