I hate the Redsox way more than the Yankees. The Yankees stop buying everybody and have stuck to a 180 million dollar payroll. They made great trades and developed a great farm system, the way teams should do things. i can't really say I hate them anymore. It's way better than what we do in our organization who can't develop anyone.

Years ago after a bad loss to the Yankees, I started a thread called "I hate the Yankees with the passion of 1,000 burning suns!"    It seems to have been lost to the sands of time.     But it still applies!

Burning. Suns.

I could argue that we should be going for it NOW, because in a year or two we're likely to face a decade of Yankee dominance regardless of whether we try to rebuild or not.   

Yes, but we are not good enough to win anything right now. Our best starting pitcher--Bundy--is feeling the stress of throwing so many innings and no one else is that good. Instead, we should be looking to do what the Yanks did last year and cash in on our assets.

They do?

  • Luis Severino - 3.54 ERA, 3.16 FIP
  • Jordan Montgomery - 3.65 ERA, 4.04 FIP
  • CC Sabathia - 3.81 ERA, 4.19 FIP
  • Michael Pineda - 4.39 ERA, 4.65 FIP
  • Masahiro Tanaka - 5.47 ERA, 5.03 FIP

Their bullpen is the issue right now for pitching. But that's because Chapman and Betances have just completely fallen apart the last 2 weeks. 

You think that's a good staff?

It's certainly not a bad one.  Tanaka is the only one really holding them back.  

Where would we be with three starters that had ERA's under 4?  

No one on that staff is going to cause opposing offenses to lose sleep.

They don't have to have a guy like Kershaw, especially with the offense they cultivating.  If you've got three guys that have a 3 ERA and a bullpen with guys like Betances and Chapman, you should be ok. 

If Tanaka can get it figured out they'll be in good shape.

I don't hate the Yankees or  BoSox. Wish the O's organization was more like them.

Betances has never impressed me. Yeah, he throws hard, but that's about it. Chapman is good, most of the time, but he's not exactly automatic. 

Their lowest starting ERA is 3.54 That's not a good staff IMO. Unless they fix that, winning a championship will be hard.

Well you're just hard as hell to impress, aren't you?

      9/26: A Weak Effort In New York

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I was at a meeting and came out to the Orioles down 1-0. I looked away for what seemed like a minute and it was 5-0, then 7-0. Do we know why Burnes was lifted after just 69 pitches after 5 innings? Was he hurt? Do we know why Cano was brought into the game in the 6th (Have to imagine his adrenaline may not have been as flowing at that stage of the game)?  Obviously the bullpen was pretty horrific last night, but could some of this be because Hyde was using guys who typically are late in game relievers in the 6th inning?

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      Good point on the age.  I think it would have to be someone like Nate George from this year's draft just blowing up next year. The story would be how everyone missed on him because he played in a cold weather state.

      First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.

      Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By e16bball · Posted

      I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.
