We never even heard he was on waivers!

Exactly I’m going to go with that he wasn’t. 

Gonna go with Roch on this one as there's no reason to not believe what he reports. But feel free to keep spreading misinformation.

I don’t have access to the algorithm used to make the projections obviously, but I can give you the basics. BTW, I noted in another post that the projection likely misses the boost he apparently gets

No matter what happens with Villar, no matter what we disagree about - I just want everyone to know that you all are worth 4 WAR in my heart.

Just a fan, man, I just want something fun to watch. My parents are both very sick, and they love watching the Orioles, and I want something fun for them to watch.  They have already traded away

It was a terrible flap in Texas, where they had to deal with Kinsler and Profar  and Andrus. Kinsler refused to move off of second base, and they refused to trade Profar. They eventually traded Kinsler to Detroit for Prince Fielder so that Profar could play, and then Profar was terrible. So badly handled. They eventually dumped Profar on Oakland and now he’s been shuffled to SD.

The irony here is that Kinsler is also in San Diego.  His season ended in mid-August with a herniated disc, but he’s under contract for 2020.

They were all reposting Mark Feinsand who got it from someone at another team. 

Again, see Roch's post this morning. He stands by it, so we should stand by it. There's no reason not to, especially when it makes it into his blog. He most likely double-checked on it. But if you choose to spread misinformation and participate in rumor and fake news, that's your choice bud. Enjoy.

It was leaked. That has also been reported by Roch.

Strike 2. 

And a long fly ball, deep to right field it's on Eutaw Street.  The Orioles never announced or confirmed this. It was everyone retweeting each other.

I agree. I believe he has been on waivers.

You misread me. So you can retract that. Bud. Now.

What I said and have said all along is the the ORioles never announced him on waivers or confirmed it to the press.

How did I misread you? You claimed it hadn't been reported, it had. You're saying you didn't believe Roch, that it was just a RT, but then it ended up in his blog and he confirmed it was leaked. 

So you either think Roch is a liar, or you can't be bothered to do your research. 

Not every bit of news is reported by the team, we know this.

      Of course I’ll be watching. Filled with dread in all likelihood. As will most of us.  LOL.

      Very interesting to read through this. Full of optimism…those were good times. Turns out I voted 91-94. Such pessimism…grrr…and even that was too little. Several of the posters should run out and buy lottery tickets because they are definitely prescient.

      With Urias and Westburg back in the lineup...

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      During all the hullabaloo about the team floundering, way too little was said about fundamental baseball judgement and defense. In a game a couple days ago, a guy came up to bat with runners on. This guy is all speed and defense, with no power, and bunted for a single. The radio guys pointed out that with a bunt threat at the plate, the defense moves in to anticipate the bunt, but this wasn’t done. He barely beat out the throw. Even two steps in from the defense would have been the difference. Little flubs like that happen CONSTANTLY, and don’t count as errors, but good teams avoid them without even thinking. The OF collision two days ago. Why did that happen? It shouldn’t have, and wouldn’t have with a good team, yet we’ve had at least three, two of which resulted in serious injury. Westburg and Urias are both solid players with solid fundamentals. Even if they don’t blaze away at the plate, they haven’t forgotten their defense, and we can hope that will be enough to get us to 90 wins.

      I was just reading my unread posts in the thread, and didn’t notice that your post was a week old.   And I don’t consider that I called you out.  The post sort of read like the outcome of the playoffs was so certain that there was no point in watching, so I was ribbing you about it.  Nothing personal intended. I have a feeling you’ll be watching!

      I was expecting Boston to be last and NY to be fourth…I never expected the Jays to be as bad as they’ve been, and the Rays are always good.

      Fewer than 3% of our posters thought the O’s would win under 90 games this year.  They can still win 90, but it will take a 4-3 finish or better to do it.
