At this point, the real mistake might be spending another dime on this team.  We're going to be a 100 loss team.  Why pour anymore resources into it?  

I'm fine with the whole let's throw the guys that are MLB "ready" out there and it's sink or swim.  Only Means emerged last year.  Hopefully we see more than one pitcher step up this year.  


Solid point. Though I think some sort of stabilizing presence even if just a veteran who seems to stay engaged in the games day in and day out is beneficial for everyone. Cashner seemed to have a good team mate quality that I can’t back up but I feel like when he was on the team he was always watching the game by the rails in the dug our. Sure, not the best pitcher and he will cost a few million but I like him. I think it’s bad for everyone to be throwing out guys like Hess or Eschleman (sorry if spelled wrong) or forcing players who aren’t quite ready. 
 

But your point stands that on a team that’s going to be one of the worst anyways probably shouldn’t spend money unnecessarily.

Is this Andrew Cashner's burner account? Why are we still beating this drum? Were the five other threads about Cashner not enough? He hasn't been signed because he's a terrible pitcher on the tail end

For each of the past four years his FIP has been between 4.60 and 5.25.  He's thrown between 132 and 166 innings.  So there's a high likelihood that he's going to give you like 150 innings of a 5.00.

That would be awesome if Cashner just showed up, like George Costanza at Penske.

He can't be any worse. At least his K per 9 rate is north of 7. He was also pretty good in 2018 and 2017. He had a higher era in 2017, but the underlining numbers point to him being very unlucky. 

LeBlanc?  His Fangraphs projections are for a 2020 ERA in between 5.50 and 6.00.  Cashner's projections are for about a 4.70.  But you're right, there's no way LeBlanc could be any worse than Cashner because numbers.

Not from me. Signing Jimenez was one of the dumbest and costliest decisions of the previous regime. I don’t mind bringing Cashner back but i understand those who prefer not, and I’ve often said I’d rather have McHugh anyway, if we’re going to bring in someone else.

 

Have you seen Cobb's record and salary?

Big difference between projections and what someone has done in the past. LeBlanc has a been a consistently serviceable pitcher for quite awhile.

      Yea.  I feel the same way.  I really do not care strongly one way or another.  Sure, I think it's kind of ugly.  I also think HR's came pretty cheap before.  I like the exciting defensive plays it fosters and of course the random triple & odd carom make for some fun and unique moments.  But I don't think it helps or hurts the team in any substantial way short of helping out the pitching a little.   I sure don't think the players are changing their approaches.  If they keep it as is, that's fine with me.  If they modify it some way, that's fine with me as well.  It does seem like there is some opportunity for some unique seats down there by modifying it slightly.  When I first saw it, it almost appeared like a construction Phase 1.  That might be reasoning for pushing it back so far, allows them some flexibility in the future.   I also don't buy that a Free Agent RH hitter is going to care at all about the wall.   They are getting paid regardless.  I'd think that 1-maximizing payday 2-playing for a winner 3-finding a location that suits your family would be your priorities and your long-term stat line would be very close to the bottom of your list of concerns.

      Any updates on the renovations to OPACY?

      By SteveA · Posted

      Yeah but if you think most of this money is going to upgrade things that are wrong or need improving, such as the ones @accinfo lists, I think you'll be disappointed.   They will be for new features, each one designed to create revenue via premium seating or premium "experience" areas or attractions that bring non baseball fans to the park to spend or sports betting related things. I'm not saying they won't fix some basic things that need it like upgrading the sound system or improving the point of sale technology.   I'm sure they will.   But the focus is going to be on the new attractions which are all designed with revenue enhancement in mind.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      I’m not a lawyer … perhaps @Frobbymight know. Loss of income, future revenues? Damage to their franchise….Even with MASN the Orioles lost a ton on annual tv revenues

      2024 Week 5: Ravens @ Bengals

      By Aglets · Posted

      Congrats to the offense on playing a heck of a game. Lamar was incredible to watch, especially the play when the snap ended up on the ground and he had to run away towards the sideline and still found Likely for the score. It's very frustrating to me that the offense HAD to play so well because of the poor coaching and abysmal defensive play.  It's odd to me that Harbaugh still messes up timeout usage after being a coach in the league for over 15 years.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      I have a 3 hour round trip to get to games. I can't speak about other directions, but the stadium is very easy to get to from the south...some more traffic with the earlier start times, but overall - games are VERY easy to get to, imo. You don't have the hike through the city to get to games. I'm a rural guy, and it's really not a big deal. We took the light rail from Cromwell for Game 1 (I usually park in BC or FGH) and it was a breeze. We walked out right after the game, and we immediately caught a direct bus that took us back to Cromwell directly. We did the same thing last year. I gotta be honest - I think the "they've been horrible for half the season" reasoning is pretty lame. Even when they were down (and dealing with significant injuries) after the AS break, they were still essentially a lock to make the playoffs. Then they get healthy-ish with some key guys back riiiiight before the playoffs and look great for a couple of series - but I guess it was too late for everyone?  Come on.  Just say you didn't feel like it. But don't blame August play for not showing up in October.
