Tracking Ex Oriole Thread

Recommended Posts

With all respect to the policies here - which should be respected - I think we need to talk about an ex-O named Schilling.  And I'm posting that request here - rather than in the main forum - out of respect.  We can't ignore it, because it directly affects the player who's been the face of the franchise for a long time.  Thank you.

Pretty sure that request will be denied, just fyi.

Tony is quite clear about what topics can and can't be discussed on here.  There are plenty of places you can go to discuss politics.........just not here.

And I'm pretty sure no one cares what Curt Schilling has to say anyway.

    • It would be great to see Stroman join his fellow starters Cole, Gil and Rodon in the "One bad start or there a problem here?" club.  The NYYs' in the last week is 7.50 (29th in MLB). For June, it's 5.27 (28th in MLB). I wonder, among other things, whether looking at that pitching staff and at the bottom five in the NYYs' batting order will have an impact on Soto's decision about where to spend the rest of his career. 
    • Have not been thrilled with Hays this year, but to be fair he has dealt with a lot of injuries and illnesses. That even said, trading a RH OF bat when we are already very short on them to begin with, including in the minors? Yep makes total sense. 🤦‍♂️
    • This is a possibility. The Orioles don't lack in outfield depth and Mullins has rebounded securing his role as the starting CF. Also Hays' defense has dropped off and the value he used to provide defensively is now largely gone. Plus Cowser even if he isn't hitting recently has been a plus defender in the outfield. I don't see anything happening with Hays this season. The value returned in trading him isn't worth not having him as a backup option for LF/RF.
    • He's hit the top of some walls this year so I think there's been a little bad luck.  If he had around 14 HRs we wouldn't think anything of it.  I share yours, and his, frustration though.  I thought that first ball was a HR last night.  The double that McCann couldn't score on a couple games ago looked like a HR off the bat, too.  Seems to me like he's hitting a lot of ground balls, too. I love the guy, and I know offense is down and his deeper stats look good, but I feel like his .786 OPS is disappointing.  Good/great team guy and defensive 1B?  Yes.  Lots of HHBs?  Yes.  So, I guess we can ignore some of his more traditional stats but I also feel like we're saying that every year and this is his age 27 season.  Maybe he'll hit two bombs tonight, get his OPS to .820 and we can laugh about this tomorrow.
    • I’ll do you one better. Let’s say that a contending team is open to the very rare contender to contender trade with the Orioles. When they look at the O’s organization and all the talent that exists in it, why would they be willing to settle on acquiring two of our worst players and then give up anything that does not equate to some of their worst? Especially SEA or any AL contender who have designs on defeating us in the Fall? Austin Hays nor Urias are difference making players in any way. That is all we can reasonably expect to get back for either or both. Players who won’t make much of a difference/move the needle. Which really equates to a lateral move and not an upgrade IMO.
    • Perhaps, but our team’s decisions are influenced by a nerd (Sig) that takes a similar approach to projections.  He uses a proprietary projection algorithm as opposed to publicly-available projections, but it’s the same general concept. Even if you don’t think they are predictive, the projections are useful for understanding how Sig might approach the market, as different projection model tend to be more similar to each other than to ERA or FIP.
