It looks to me like Joey Ortiz has a decent shot to win the NL Gold Glove at 3B, or at least be a finalist.

OAA: Ortiz +9, Chapman +7, Arenado +6, McMahon +5, Hayes +5

Rtot: Ortiz +14, Chapman +12, Arenado +12, McMahon +9, Hayes +8

Rdrs: Chapman +15, McMahon +9, Hayes +9, Ortiz +6, Arenado +4

My guess is Chapman will win it because he’s better known.  But stranger things have happened than Ortiz winning.

Still can't believe we played Frazier over him last year.

If anyone wants to see Manny's blast.

Never would have guessed Nate Colbert to be the prior record holder.

Good for Manny, happy to see him having a solid season.  57.4 bWAR right now, I'd say the next 3-4 seasons or so will see if he can get himself into HOF consideration.

Fun coincidence that Manny takes that Padres HR record on the same day his San Diego PAs exactly equal his Baltimore PAs. 

And check out how similar these numbers are:

  • Orioles: 3378 PAs, .283/.335/.487, 162 HRs, 471 RBI, 486 R, 47 SB, 616 K, 271 BB
  • Padres: 3378 PAs, .275/.342/.491, 164 HRs, 525 RBI, 462 R, 44 SB, 615 K, 309 BB

His defense has seemingly slipped to average but San Diego is getting what they paid for on the offensive end. 

It's a commentary on the Padres tough history that he's 1st in HRs... he's 11th in Baltimore HRs with about the same amount. The O's got a 15 year head start, but still.

    • Yeah. I mean analytics obviously is huge in baseball these days. Still people like myself who have been watching the 0's since the early 1960's still are entitled to view and comment on things from the eye and between the ears test.  I don't get upset when people speak about deep stats and numbers... Moose saying opinions are obnoxious because people comment about  things from an old perspective is not only kind of dismissive, it's kind of rude too. We all have opinions.  
    • And think of how many quick offensive possessions we have too. That leads to a tired defense. They ran Henry once in the 4thQ yesterday. They didn’t target Zay after he caught his TD pass. They used 12 personnel less than last week and barely used play action, despite the fact that Crosby was all over them.    No game plan. No thought on how to do anything. Made Henry a priority and then you don’t know how to use him. Just stupidity all around.
    • The Orioles like to try and give this award to someone considered a prospect so McDermott and Povich can't be ruled out despite their partial seasons there. Brandon Young should definitely be in the running though.
    • It's going to be an extremely anticlimactic and somewhat undeserved champagne celebration when the O's eventually clinch what we have to assume will be the wild card. Like, it's hard to imagine a party of any kind right now. They will do it though, and that's fine. It'll just feel weird from the fan perspective. 
    • Here something else to consider. Do the Orioles have a lot of players who have a tendency to hit the ball to the same parts of the field? Seems to me that the other team's advanced scouts do a good job of positioning their fielders against the Orioles more often than not. Now maybe it's just bad luck. Or maybe, teams have figured out how to pitch and defend against the Orioles hitters?  I'm not saying they do or not, but I do know this team has been absolutely pathetic hitting with RISP late;ly and having productive at bats. Seems the Orioles hitting philosophy is hit the ball as hard as possible at all times and let "luck" decide the results.  
    • It's a good thing Irvin only cost the Orioles this guy: I was pretty skeptical of Hernaiz being anything more than a utility guy and had no issues with moving him for a guy who could potentially help in the rotation. This problem with Irvin is he went from this guy in 2023: to this guy in 2024: Don't worry though, we could lose Irvin because we have this guy in AAA who we gave up Norby and Stowers for:  
    • I am "old school" and I don't disagree, but it also doesn't have to be either/or in my opinion. I would substitue the word "tiring" for "obnoxious" above. 😀 I admittedly don't understand all the data and look at some of it in bewilderment. You can teach old dogs new tricks but it takes longer. I'm trying to learn and follow but still hang on to what I know best. (My smart phone ain't real smart either!!!!!) I suspect I may not be alone in the realm of Oriole fandom.
