Miami Herald - https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/mlb/miami-marlins/article217064720.html

The Marlins have 51 wins recorded by 21 different pitchers.  14 Orioles pitchers have been credited for a win, with Bundy stuck on 7, and yes, Chris Tillman won a game.   While 7 wins wouldn't be a MLB record, Bundy would set a team record for fewest wins leading the club.

Jose Urena led the Marlins with 9 wins.  That tops Bundy, whose 8 wins led the team, and ties the lowest total since 1988 with Ballard and Schmidt.

Hey, I get it.  I'd be pretty happy if he went in as an Oriole, no doubt.  I wouldn't be as elated as when Cal got it, but anytime a player from your team gets into the Hall, it's special no matter what you feel towards the guy.  There definitely could be an attitude of "another yanker in the hall" and he might not get as much attention, even if he goes in with Jeter or Rivera.  

 

If Mussina goes in the HOF as an Oriole, does he get a statue.  If he gets a statue, does he even show up for his own statue ceremony?

I don't think he goes in an as an Oriole.  Just a hunch.

But I guess he'd have to have a statue.  Thanks, Mike...for the...almost no-hitter?  Couple good playoff performances.

I was a huge Mussina fan, but no statue for him, even if he went into the HOF as an Oriole.

Statue = Hall + Ring.

There could be an exception someday, but not for a guy who spent nearly half his career elsewhere.   I could see it if the O’s had an Ernie Banks equivalent who was a career O but never got a ring.

Won't be another player I see in my lifetime with that criteria.  

I’m roughly your age, and I plan to live to see it.   But then, I’m foolishly optimistic both regarding the Orioles and my own longevity.

Going out on a limb, I think it's safe to rule out anyone on the current roster going to Cooperstown as anything but a visitor.  ? Let's say the new GM hits a grand slam with the #1 pick this year.  Pick a number, say 14 years for the career, and add 6 more to go in as a first ballot induction, so we're 20 years away?  More?  Even if we use the Frank Robinson rule and include players who made their mark here, but didn't start here, we're still a lot of  years away.   ManNY is more likely to be the next home grown player in Cooperstown, but that, and the ring, would be earned in NY.  Anyway...

I'll tell my son to find you and Weams at the ceremony.

      RHH Outfield Targets

      By wildcard · Posted

      Let  Westy  play 3B vs right handed pitching and LF vs left-handed pitching.    Urias can play 3B vs lefties.   This is only needed if Cowser can't hit lefties. Mateo and Westy can be platoon in the outfield IMO.

      O'Neil seems like a perfect fit if he doesn't cost too much in years or dollars.

      Still think this team didn't choke under pressure?

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I don’t think we choked. Stubborn as hell. We literally went down with the same sinking ship philosophy that we had the entire 2nd half of the season.  The young guys just have to adjust. I mean getting completely shut down for 5 post season games has to wear on them. If it doesn’t, then we were never built to win.

      RHH Outfield Targets

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Right now the 2025 OF has three LHH OF in Cowser, Mullins, and Kjerstad. I’m not sure what the bench makeup of this team will be, but it looks like we’ll need 1-2 RHH options.  We could bring Slater back on a small “Tony Kemp” like 1 year deal or a milb deal.  With Santander leaving, and Mateo back to being in the CF mix once healthy, do we go with a more COF RHH type? Trades are a possibility as well, but here is a list of upcoming RHH OF Free Agents,

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By Jagwar · Posted

      I actually didn't suggest a reliever as the return, that was SG. I was thinking more about trading veterans to acquire pitching prospects, probably lower level lottery tickets. I'd rather pick up ML roster pieces through free agency (assuming of course that Rubenstein will allow a significant payroll boost.).

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

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      Each player is different. Each player may have a somewhat different hitting philosophy, based on their strengths and weaknesses. Not everyone is a “power hitter.” I would not coach a Tony Santander the same as a Jordan Westburg, or a Jorge Mateo, or a Cedric Mullins. Some should be more selective, while others may need to do more damage and it’s ok for them to K more because the power payoff is worth it. Some should have a more oppo approach, while others may need to try to pull the ball more. The Waltimore certainly has messed with many of our RH bats.  Being a hitting coach is a lot of work, and it is usually not often a position held for many years. They seem to often be a scapegoat when the players do not hit. I wonder what drove the players to swing more at pitches they probably should not have. I seriously doubt it was Ryan Fuller. Hitting coaches have a general philosophical approach, like Fuller would have hitters learn to take pitches they cannot hit well, with less than 2 strikes.. He wanted them to swing only at pitches they can do damage with. They do not dramatically change. For the Orioles to become much more free swinging, that must have driven Fuller to leave. So be it. Going forward, they probably need to be somewhere in between the previous two years. In the playoffs, they get pitched to differently. It’s higher intensity. You have to be proficient in putting the ball in play. You have to be able to take what the game gives you, and execute. There is no excuse for repeatedly having runners in scoring position with less than two outs and repeatedly not being able to get them home. Bases loaded, no outs, hitters 2,3 and 4 coming up…we have to score there. The approach was to hit a grand slam. Awful baseball. A ton of talent on this roster, and something has to change.

      Do we agree that developing Kjerstad RF, Holliday 2B and Mayo 1B/DH.......

      By wildcard · Posted

      I have been pretty happy with Kjerstad's defense in the outfield corners.   Not that I want him in left at home.     I agree with what Elias said about Mayo's body type being more suited for 1B.
