Have you seen the back of his baseball card?

Watching EPSN and college bball last night. ESPN had this stat. Betts 42 WAR through 6 seasons, ranks him 7th all-time in MLB.

Andrew Friedman is the best GM in baseball currently. There isn't a team in baseball more set up than the Dodgers especially if they ink Betts long term. Has the best roster in the league, arguably the best farm system in the NL and has been able to keep payroll very manageable. Verdugo will be good but I'd be pretty disappointed if I was a Sox fan. The guy they got from the Twins is intriguing but it seems as though MN views him as a reliever.

Rosenthal on MLB just now said he thought Red Sox paying about half the Price remainder.

So 7/217, Red Sox got about 600 innings for the ~ 4/123 and now ~0/48 to make the rest go away.

Is this a tea leaf Sale is shaky?  Sure Graterol and Verdugo will give them some more surplus value these next few years, but this is dismantling a championship caliber roster for....reasons.

JD may have a little extra juice to make his next opt out pay, Bradley/Vazquez will enter FA in a stronger negotiating position, and Sale/Xander/Devers figure to be a little salty as camps open.

      The game is already tied. If he gets thrown out, the O's still have a runner in scoring position and just one out. You really didn't have much to lose by sending him there, with a chance to end the game.

      Yes.  He’s not a great bunter but at least try it once.   Santander was today’s choker.  He’s gotta be able to hit a freaking fly ball there.

      Same exact question Ravens fans ask every season.  No killer instinct.  In the game’s biggest moments, they come up small.  Exactly what you saw today.  Pathetic

      Should we have gone with a suicide or safety squeeze with Mullins? He might be better at bunting than hitting deep fly balls. Just a thought.

      I agree with the second but not the first. If the first fails, that's an extra out. If the second fails then they just get an out at home instead of an out at first, which is not really relevant with Gunnar going to 3rd. For the first case I'd think you need to be like 80% to succeed for it to be right, but for the second like 20%.

      The Sting of Losing Winnable Games

      Bump. Tonight's game wasn't just "winnable" -- it would have been one of the top 2-3 wins of the season. Down 2 in the 9th and we come out single, single, walk, double to tie the game and have two of our fastest runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs, with our 2-3-4 hitters coming up next.  And our guys gagged. They wilted under pressure. They choked.  Again.  This has happened so many times this season that I believe we need to consider the real possibility that the Orioles as currently constructed lack the character, stamina, -- the heart, if you will -- to win games like this. I think these players fail so often because they expect to fail. I remember after we won it all in '83 reporters were interviewing Ken Singleton in the locker room and one of them asked if the Orioles had been lucky. "You make your own luck" he responded. Well, the 2024 Orioles are making their own bad luck over and over again. How does that cycle of failure come to an end? I wish I knew.

      I know the OH hates Holliday, but it's a no brainer keeping him over Soto. We're talking about bench players who are going to, at most, have a small role in a few games. Soto has no pop and is slow. He's a warm body as it is. Holliday's ability to run can be very useful in the playoffs.
