It was just a procedural move to allow him to spend a couple extra days with his newborn: https://dodgersnation.com/dodgers-news-evan-phillips-expected-to-rejoin-team-in-pittsburgh-today/2023/04/25/

Ignoring completely that you referenced that he would be an ace in our bullpen which DOES at least suggest your thinking is we should have kept him. 

Nope I was just using that as a comparison of his effectiveness as a reliever. If he wants to come back on a team friendly deal next season I would gladly have him here.

Tough crowd in Boston.  3 straight 1st place finishes and a World Series victory and you have a 3rd place team with a winning record and you are fired. 

And they had back to back losing seasons before he was hired. 

You could see the talent starting to gel, however.   Dombrowski certainly deserves credit for getting some key pieces to complement the core that was building.

Dombrowski was given a clear plan, get the team into being contenders, and it worked for a few years. Ownership didnt care about the future and farm results, he wanted to win NOW, and I think Dombrowski did that.I dont believe in that type of management, but oh well, not my money.

They won the World Series and won the division 3 straight years.  I mean come on we haven't been in the World Series in 36 years.

Manny continues to be in a horrific tailspin.   Over his last 12 games, he’s hitting .083.     And, he came off the bench twice. 

His season seems pretty much the same as his 2017 season.  Only difference is his games played this year at shortstop bringing down his WAR a little.

Villar > Machado

The SD Padres are in 4th place with a record of 68-88

They are paying Manny Machado $30 million a year to slash .251/.331/.452/.782. Their attendance is 9th out 15 teams in the NL but went up 2,842 fans this year. The average ticket price in SD is $60.  So before concessions, Machado brought in $168,120 extra in gate revenue the first year. Let's say each fan purchased $30 worth of concessions.  That's another $85,260 so added together the Machado effect gained the Padres $253,380 in tickets and concession.

Machado has earned $46,802 per PA this year so far. So Machado earned the net amount from gate and concession improvements in his first 5.41 Plate appearances. So after his fifth plate appearance of the season, Machado wasn't worth his contract. :D

Yep, not worth his contract, not a generational talent, not a future HOF'er, not going to sniff the All Star Game, not even the best player on his team

and yet cue the players association crying about this years crop of free agents not getting enough interest due to collusion.

I'm working on a spreadsheet of mega contracts and it is not pretty... 80% clearly not working out for the team

      O's @ Yankees Series, June 18-20 (Tues-Thurs)

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Baseball is a funny game sometimes, but you're right, we are going to battle with starters that were not even projected for the opening day rotation. Yet, here we are. Obviously anytime we have a series against the Yankees it's big, but even if we lose 2 of 3, we'd only be 2.5 games back.  The loss of Coulombe is huge and that bothers me more than the starters honestly. Perez, Akin, Baker and Tate filling key roles if Cano or Kimbrel is not available does not make me feel great. Baker threw the ball in his debut back and has been throwing well in AAA for a bit, so maybe he's a little bit of lightning in a bottle that this team needs in the pen.

      Count me in, but the Orioles have never really subscribed to that theory of splitting time like that. They really put an emphasis on everyday players and bench players with everyday players rarely getting days off.

      I agree with this. I just feel like he hasn't been given a fair shot in two seasons up here. I can't see any reason that he can't start 4 games out of 7. Give Hays, Mullins, Santander and Cowser each one day off a week and let him start.

      O's back to a 5 man rotation

      By wildcard · Posted

      This is probably obvious to many but I have not seen it talked about. With Bradish going on the IL and the recall of reliever Vespi they are now in a 5 man rotation.    Burnes, GRod, Irvin, Suarez and Povich.    And an 8 man pen. It was hoped that Kremer would join the rotation but his short 3 2/3 innings in Sunday's start at Norfolk probably means he gets another start in Norfolk on Friday.    If he does well at that point he could join the O's on June 26th.    Until then the O's are likely to continue with a 5 man rotation IMO.   Even if Kremer joins the rotation in June the O's probably go back to a 5 man rotation in July because of the number of off days in July.

      Cease vs everyone else

      By maybenxtyr · Posted

      Some may feel that way, but I'm wishing that they would have landed them both. Even before the injuries the starting pitching was going to be a little light next season... it's possibly going to be brutal now. Either way, I'm going to enjoy 24 before worrying about next season.

      Cease vs everyone else

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      That barrel% regression is really surprising. I haven't looked into his repertoire or to see if there is some difference in how he's pitching, but that's a crazy drop off.  I wanted him and was willing to give up Westburg for him before the Burnes trade. I'm glad I'm not the Orioles GM now! lol Saying that, I do think the Orioles may have gotten a bit better out of him. Plus, out of those last seven starts, he's really only pitched poorly twice including the last game where he allowed seven runs to balloon his ERA.  With all the injuries we've head, I still wouldn't be upset with him in the rotation now. But if Suarez can keep it up and start getting through 6 more often, he's basically what we had hoped Cease would have been for us.

      Kyle Stowers 2024

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      You've never really been a Stowers guy and have always put a huge emphasis on K-BB ratio. While I agree that K-BB ratio can be important, I believe you had misgivings with Mountcastle as he moved up the chain for the same reason. Stowers is always going to have a lot of miss, but he's not getting much regular playing time and pinch-hitting against relievers is not normally a time to work pitchers so I'm not surprised he's been more aggressive. I still think if Stowers was given 500 PAs he's going to hit 25-30 bombs and put up an OPS north of .780. And I think he's improved his defense enough that I would feel ok with him in LF in Camden Yards.
