So they think they can get a 27 year old to stop walking so many batters?  That seems to be his problem.  

 

Yeah I agree but its the only reason I can think to claim him if you're the Orioles.  Not like his minor league numbers are better then the guys we have

If I had to flee to Australia or South Africa or something I could switch the 14 hours of NFL I watch a year to rugby and not miss a beat.

I too would gladly watch 80 minutes of action rather than the  13 minutes of action in an NFL game.

I don't think he stays on the 40 man roster the rest of the season options or no options.  

Even if he does it would be even more surprising if he stayed on the 40-man roster over the offseason with all the guys we have to add this year.

And since I think Armstrong is holding his own since we've picked him up from the Mariners, we're trying to get someone back from them equally as bad as Mike Wright. 

Armstrong has been a really good pickup. I wouldn’t mind getting a couple more like him.

I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.  I am pleased so far but I can't believe he was that terrible for them and has been this good for us.  Something doesn't add up.

You bet. But look at Bleier. Took over a season before the other shoe dropped(and hasn’t dropped all the way yet) I wouldn’t mind getting a couple WAR out of Armstrong before he turns back into a pumpkin.

Bleier doesn't have swing and miss stuff.  Armstrong seems like he might.  We'll see.

Bleier has been dealing with injuries this season, so he gets the benefit of the doubt from me for now. Looks like he's starting to get it together with a 2.35 (0.91) over his last seven appearances totaling 7.2 IP. Let's see if he can keep it up.

As for Scott, I think someone actually said in that game thread that we should pick him up and he'd fit right in here. Wish granted!

Bleier if he can stay healthy might be a (minor) trade chip by next season. Bleier isn't likely to be around when the team is good again considering he is 32 years old. Elias will trade him if he can get something of value in return.

    • There are several. Snell, Pivetta, Bieber (depending on structure of the contract), Nick Martinez (swing type guy) and Heaney.  May be others. This is off the top of my head.
    • I think this is correct but I would say it differently.  I think Elias has done a great job constructing the organization and making it one of the top teams, complete teams, in baseball.  That was a huge hurdle from where he started and that has been a major success. Getting from a top MLB team to a successful playoff team may seem like a small jump but it is pretty large.  And Elias has been tentative at best at trying to make those changes.  He has taken an incremental path in hopes of maximizing his long term potential.  So far that really hasn't had much success.   But like Elias, we really should not assume that the changes needed to make that seemingly small jump from AL East contender to WS contender will not require some pretty big things.  I don't know if that is really different than what you are saying.  
    • It was never in hindsight. The Os were always against it. We had the numbers. We knew how bad it was going to effect the team.   That is why the MaSN deal was structured the way it was. It benefited the Os for a reason. That was essentially the compromise to having the team move to DC.
    • The Mets just had more exciting wins in one week than we had in four months.  I called us the Dull Orange Machine a few weeks ago for a reason.  Really boring team most of the season, with no personality at all.  They seemed to have a "get knocked down, stay down" mentality, which isn't fun to support as a fan.  There are a lot of very good reasons noted here as to why attendance wasn't great, but the energy around this team and the organization is just low and that can't help.  And a slow and boring offseason that doesn't move the needle much won't help attendance heading into next season either.  
    • This.  I grew up in Northern VA and it always took 1 hour to drive to Memorial or Camden no matter the time of day.  It was always easy to find parking as well.  Now that same drive takes 2-3 hours, and finding good parking is a pain.  Plus, the cost of parking, tickets, food/drinks, souvenirs has skyrocketed.  So the choice is to sit in traffic, fight for parking, pay tons of money for the hassle...or sit on my comfortable couch and watch the game on a huge HD screen for free...
    • Unfortunately it doesn’t sound like anything will be done before next year. The speakers at the park are an embarrassment.  
    • If they keep Ryan they can still get Mayo 350+ at bats. He can be full time DH vs LHP and play some at 1st and 3rd here and there.
