Ex-Orioles in the postseason

[LA2]

Why didn't Miley (yes, that Miley) get the W for the Brewers? He was one out short of 5 innings, but the Rockies didn't score at all.

Wins are stupid.

Regardless of what happens to the prospects we got back from the Dodgers, it's pretty obvious that the Dodgers won this trade.  They wouldn't be in the playoffs but for Manny, and he singlehandedly turned two games around this series, despite the fact that he's in a huge slump.

The only way the Dodgers win the trade is if they win the World Series if not they just traded some prospects for a rental that didn’t help them win it.

The 2018 Orioles agree.

I personally think the bar is lower than that.  Getting to the playoffs is enough of a reward, both psychologically and financially (the revenue sharing for playoff appearances more than offsets the value lost when trading prospects away.) Manny not only helped them get there, he also helped them win this series.  Just as I feel that we won the Andrew Miller trade, I feel the Dodgers won this trade.

That doesn't mean the Orioles lost, of course.  That remains to be seen.

Not really. One is a superstar. The other is middlin'

It was true of Manny through the first handful of games. Not getting anything to hit, but still swinging away. He goes through those stretches sometimes but usually is able to figure it out. You're right, he's a star.

However, it is absolutely true of Schoop. You don't have to throw him strikes. And middlin' is a VERY generous classification for his performance over the past year.

Why can't both the O's and the Dodgers win the trade? It doesn't have to be one-sided and his performance in LA this year really has no bearing on the O's right now. Not like he would have elevated the O's any if they kept him.

That's a hell of a team actually.

Gausman sure hasn't fared too well, in this post season.
