How do you not know about Statcast?  You have Tony on ignore?

Shouldn't it be I'll let your grammar slide for now?

No, because I’m not the only one who ignores your grammar… And I doubt anybody else mentions it either.

Is there a section here for defense? I’m not seeing it.

Slight surpluses have a way of working themselves out.  Diaz has quite a ways to go before he's pushing his way onto the Orioles' roster, and a lot can happen in the next year.  I would be in no hurry

Nice home run tonight for DJ:  

Three Run Homer
Three Run Homer

I'm not ready to give up on Cedric Mullins yet, but I'd much rather see DJ Stewart playing for the O's than Joey Rickard.

He's the opposite of someone like Jones, or even Davis back in the day.  They look so smooth out there that they seem faster and more athletic than they are.  Stewart looks like a big bag of awkward.

Yes I’ve heard that he runs faster than he looks, and according to baseball savant.com, he has approximately average speed. Wow, that’s just great. I wonder if baseball savant also knows the answer to the meaning of life, the universe, and everything…(Notice the Oxford comma?)

Not enough ML data to amount to anything, I suggest you look up scouting reports.  Plenty of in-house ones to peruse.

Kind of interesting who goes to make room.

The O's need 13 pitchers, so I think that alignment stays in place.

Of course,  Severino and Sisco will stay.  They need 2 catchers.

Davis, Mancini and Villar are probably safe because of  veteranocity.

Martin has to stay as a Rule 5 guy.

Alberto, Peterson, Nunez are out of option and have to go through waivers.

Santander deserves to stay more than Stewart.

Wilkerson has a 810 OPS vs righties

Ruiz was sent down for 16 days and if he is sent down for 4 more he loses his option for next season.

The easy way out is to option Stewart until Sept 1st.  Either that or DFA Peterson.  JMO

It's the Orioles. Someone will need to go on the IL the day before he comes back.

He doesn't have enough data for 2019, but in 2018 his sprint speed according to Statcast was 27.6 ft/sec. That's actually above the MLB average of 27 ft/sec. He has slightly above average speed.

The easy way out is to finally cut Davis. It’s now reached the point where he’s taking a roster spot from someone more deserving.

That and this isn’t Buck’s team, veteranosity isn’t a thing.

Maybe the cut back to 12 pitchers until Sept 1st.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By interloper · Posted

      I mean imagine having Burnes for 1 single year, and your only other move is Kimbrel. In hindsight it seems pretty ridiculous.

      I'd pitch Tate or Akin over Cano, even Perez or Baker, probably.

      By interloper · Posted

      I agree with the OP. Elias seems to have wildly miscalculated his bullpen and overall pitching staff. Bradish and Means should not have been factored into the equation at all given their injuries, and counting on Wells was suspect as well.  He didn't find this year's Danny Coulombe or Cano. No magical waiver claims or trade finds to speak of this year.  Way too much reliance on guys like Perez and Webb, and even Cano, who he should have figured would regress.  Just a lack of action with regards to the pitching. He made two pitching moves in the offseason and 0 that have worked out  so far during the season (the various waiver claims and minor league deals).  What are we doing here exactly?

      5 losses in a row. Baltimore...we have a problem. Thread revisit...O's have no way to win the WS unless...

      By Ripken · Posted

      If "all in" means there's a legit chance to win a championship... this is "an" all in year, but it certainly won't be the only one.  Elias is not going to sell off half the farm out of desperation, nor should he.   He really needs to add more pitching though, which we all know and which has been true since the beginning of last season.  It will be true next year and probably every year.  In this regard, I'm not thrilled with his efforts to date but there's another huge opportunity in front of him right now.  The Orioles really have to start developing and paying for more pitching going forward because the bats are here and ready.

      IMO, this off season is a time for Rubinstein to prove himself as much as Elias. An owner doesn't make trades and if you are talking about taking on big contracts - takes two to tango. I'm not using this trade delined as an indicator for new ownership, but I am anxious to see how next year's budget/payroll plays out.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      It's low hanging fruit to laugh at the doom-and-gloom crowd, the sky-is-falling Chicken Littles, and the run-for-the-hills Billies.  So, fruit duly plucked. 🤣 However, there is some truth within their pessimistic outlook.  It's absolutely fair to be concerned about our pitching.  Who's to say who is right or wrong in how much concern there should be?  Well, we all have a say.  It's why we're here.  The beloved @Roy Firestone is admittedly the most pessimistic Game Thread poster in history, yet no one questions his love of the O's.  Nor should we berate those with strongly pessimistic views about our chances as being less of a fan.   It's just my two cents, but I think it's readily apparent that we need to add to our pitching and I believe Elias will address it.  A quality starter and a reliever or two would likely do wonders for the team... and our collective sanity.   I just don't feel we'd need to deal Holliday, or Mayo, or Basallo to get there.  Then again, I may be wrong.
