Tracking Ex Oriole Thread

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.

Tobias Myers for the brewers tonight: 6 innings 4H -1ER 1BB 11 Ks.

not bad at all!

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

Rough MLB debut for Seth Johnson, including a homer to Connor Norby.

Billy Cook, who was traded at the deadline in a MiLB swap, got his contract selected by the Pirates today for his debut.

2 for 4 with an rbi 2B in his debut.

Norby with 2 home runs tonight.  Now batting .329.

Manny Machado became the all time leader in home runs in the history of the San Diego Padres franchise tonight when he hit his 164th HR in a Padres uniform, surpassing Nate Colbert's 163.

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.

For some reason hearing that Manny already has 3,300 PAs with the Padres just made me feel even older.

It takes Orioles rookies 60 or 70 at bats to get their first two hits.

Manny now has more homers as a Padre (164) than as an Oriole (162).  

He had a very rough start to his season, bottoming out at .611 OPS on May 17 and still only at .662 on June 18.   Since then, he’s had a .918 OPS.   

I’d put his Hall of Fame chances at better than 50/50.   He’s only 31 (baseball age) and is under contract for 9 more seasons.  He’s going to accumulate some numbers even as he goes through his decline phase.  And hopefully he’s got several very productive seasons left in him before the decline comes.
