I saw the segment at the game last night, and I thought it was pretty good and clever. Still don't think anything will beat cooking with kirby but I thought Sig managed to come off enlightening without sounding snobbish. Plus the intro song is kind of catchy.

People on this board, which is full of people smarter than the average fan, still often cite BA as meaningful. Not as much as 10 years ago, but it still happens. Heck at least one person was complaini

Why would anyone complain about this?  We've waited decades for the Orioles to catch up with early 21st century analytics and sports technology. We are literally starting from ground zero. If the

The Orioles seem to be doing things right. Analytics look like they're finding there way into every crack and crevice of the organization.

Another point is that if they are going to do a series of these, it makes sense to start with some pretty basic stuff and build on that as they go along.    If they’d started this with a dissertation on xwOBA only .1% of their audience would have had a clue.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      Hardy had excellent hands and had all of the requisite skills in terms of foot quickness and the "athletic" movements that you need to be a very good defender at SS. However, he was a very slow runner on the Orioles (I can't speak to what he was on the Brewers because I don't recall watching him much when he was there). On the base paths or if they were to race, I would bet Westburg would win by a good/safe margin. And yes Westburg so far, has shown himself to be a much better hitter because he can use all fields. I love his approach as he competes every AB and rarely gives away ABs. He is what has classically been referred to as "a tough out". JJ Hardy was a straight pull hitter/power hitter and rarely hit the ball to the right side of second base. Most of his hits and especially mostly all of his power was to left field. He really struggled with pitches that were away from him (outside corner/outer part of the plate).

      I think O’HIM has earned some starts against lefties.

      Didn't Frazier losing his job have something to do with that?

      Kjerstad's Defense

      By oriole · Posted

      Kjerstad had a promising start last year and I had hoped that would carry on into this year, similar to Westburg. It hasn’t happened yet, but he really hasn’t been given much of a chance. In my opinion he is Santander’s replacement next year, maybe with a bit more time at DH. So I think once Hays is back we’ll see him sent back down and he’ll be back and forth sparingly. Then we all just gotta hold out hope he can be the slugger we think he can be in 2025.

      O'Hearn has 4 more walks than strikeouts this year. That didn't used to be special, but it is in today's game. As far as I can see, Rafael Palmeiro in 2004 was the last to do it for the Orioles in a full season of ABs and he wasn't much of a hitter by then.

      Cole Irvin 2024

      Barring injuries and Grod coming back how bout a rotating starter to the pen by committee. Lets keep a 5 man rotation, lets limit innings by making a starter a BP  arm for a couple of weeks, see who best plays up out of the pen. Only 4 starters in the post season. Just saying? Too much pitching, good problem to have.

      Are we willing to admit how good our rotation is yet?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I believe that Rubenstein is a very smart guy, has great people around him, is a very good business good businessman having amassed billions, is from the area (which brings about it's own understanding) AND is/has been a fan of the team all his life. With the combination of all those things, I believe that it is likely that he wants the Orioles to succeed very much and win a World Series (he even stated as much in one of his first public statements as owner). I also believe that he is interested in increasing his viability within this market. He has eyes and can see all the #2 and #35 shirts in the stands. You can't allow all/most of your superstar guys/franchise players/faces of the franchise to walk and grow your fanbase.  Extensions PLUS good drafting and developing PLUS a good international program is what will keep us from being limited to a 6/7 year window. But having said all that, you can't get these years back when you are the best/one of the best teams either (like we are this year). IMO we cannot afford to punt opportunities that are this good in the present for chances of promise that may never come in the future.
