Good question, the main reason to pick Alemais rather than Hechevarria is you have nothing to lose and Alemais will cost 655K (100K Rule 5 fee + league min) and is controllable for 6 years if he works

You know me, always taking unfair shots at people and setting them off!    I do feel quite bad that he reacted that way to you because of something I wrote.    It’s not like I even dislike the guy.

It's like getting baseball analysis from Durga.

For you Rule 5 dorks, what day is this clown show this week?  Remind me not to log in for at least 24-48 hours afterwards.

Thursday. In which a majority of Roch's tweets that day will be about how early he can catch his flight back home.

I remember now, they save the worst for last.  Can't wait to hear all the hand wringing about how we're going to keep a player who had a great season 4 years ago in AA on the roster all year.  It's gonna be awesome.

Carry on.

If he was still speaking to me I'd probably get a text telling me to delete this and ban you! :D But Frobby caused him to go ballistic last off season and he stopped talking to me and unfriended me on everything after I told him I don't suppress thoughts good or bad about anyone. As long as you don't name call you are good here, but he didn't like that response.

Just to set the record straight, I still sleep soundly at night. :D

We have to be the only MLB fanbase that expects us to pick two players in the Rule 5 draft.

Hey I mean I've defended the guy on here. I like him. But I like poking fun at him more. In the same way he and beat reporters poke fun at each other. He's a sensitive dude for a guy looking like he can pound you into the pavement, and I've always found that funny. 

But look, when you follow a guy like Roch like we've all done for over a decade, you get to know his quirks. One of which is he complains about the Winter Meetings, and I like to think he knows that's a schtick he does, since he does it every year. It's tradition!

Eh, it is what it is. It's not like we were exchanging Christmas cards or anything. :D

I'd definitely pass on the 24-48 hours after the Rule 5 draft.  Then we could get back to which potential Hall of Fame OF we will manipulate service time for in 2020.  Embrace the rebuild.  Foundations are never sexy, but to rebuild properly, it's gotta be done.

It's either the Rule 5 or the hot dog thread.

Yeah!  I hear they're still debating whether it's a sandwich or not - geez!  Actually, we have several human "hot dogs" (I even resemble that remark) that propagate their own genres of mustard for all to savor.  The OH is a people friendly site!  ?

If you lost Roch, it’s no loss. Since I discovered this place I visit Steve on occasion but have no reason to read roch’s Blog.

As long as he’s not Jason Garcia. One of those was quite enough.

      Who sits for Slater in Game One?

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      What do you mean starting for Slater? He is not a starter. The Ragans matchup makes things interesting because he has reverse splits. I don't know the numbers but they need to start the guys with good numbers vs Ragans and/or LHP changeups, whether they are LH or RH.

      2024 Week 4: Ravens vs Bills on SNF

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Perhaps. I'm just saying he could stop the Chiefs, the Raiders disaster, and the Cowboys debacle certainly gave me pause.  Last night they certainly looked better, but the first 3 games gave me pause. I think we'll know more after a full season.

      Observations at the end of the regular season....

      By Sanity Check · Posted

      1. If the Orioles had signed Jack Flaherty, Seth Lugo and Chris Sale to bolster our pitching staff last off-season, this place would have gone ballistic, and not in a good way. 2.  The Orioles ended the regular season last year flat as a pancake, and it carried into the offseason.  This year, while under the pressure of trying to keep up with the Yankees, the team struggled mightily to find consistent offense and any overall consistency.  Once that pressure waned with us knowing our destiny, guys seemed to loosen up, and we saw the offense come back.  I thought that might happen.  However, my question is, after laying an egg in the playoffs last year and recent struggles despite the last two series, does the pressure of the postseason put us back in the funk we saw throughout most of August and September? 3.  I've seen a consistent theme in this forum over the past week or two which is this:  "All we have to do is get hot at the right time, like Texas did last year."  While I agree that's true, and want us to be that team this year, isn't that statement kind of an admission that without getting hot, we're not good enough on our own merits to persevere in the tournament?  And before I get crucified for saying that, I'll point to what everyone has witnessed in recent months:  Bad/inconsistent bullpen, inconsistent offense, questions about our starting pitching, defensive lapses and being prone to not showing up offensively.  And please, let's not act like some, or all of these, don't exist.   That all being said, Go O's!!!!!  Let's get hot!!

      This Playoff Start From Burnes Defines His Time With the O’s

      By Just Regular · Posted

      All of the October ones will.    Tomorrow good chance to be the least important one if things go any kind of good. Granted ~40% chance it is the only one, but that is short series baseball, not him. I won't have warm feelings if he handles these guys but is bad twice the next series.

      By terpoh · Posted

      Would be upsetting to start Slater in any playoff game at this point. Even if you think Mullins/Cowser cant hit LHP (news flash Slater cant either)- keep the defense and the guys who "got you there"

      Os vs KC in WC round

      By terpoh · Posted

      If the point was "Skubal is better" you kind of proved that for them. More innings, more K's, less ER, less Walks, less hits, better W/L. Across the board. Ragans is very very very good- but Skubal is better, and the runaway for AL Cy Young. Either is capable of shutting down an offense- and Ragans did just that earlier this year. But we also roughed up Ragans in the other start. No matter who we face, we're going to find things that make it tough, its the playoffs. Lets keep playing good ball and get payback for 2014.
