And if he did it for the best part of a decade, he'd be very close to the HOF.

I really think we need to temper expectations.  

That should be our best-case scenario.

It's likely to fall short of that.

Agree. To protect myself, I’m very much  tempering expectations. If he’s JT Realmuto for 5 or 6 years that’s a huge win for us.

I just have visions of Matt Weiters in my head.  Weiters with better defense.  

I know I know, in terms of historical returns from a 1-1 Wieters wouldn't be that bad (nor was Matusz for 1-5), but please, no one dreams of Wieters or Matusz, thinking that Adley ends up like Wieters with better defence is still kinda depressing. :/ Let's not have this happen please!

Oh, that certainly isn't a dream.  It is just what I see as the major league future for Rutschman.  Maybe it's a subconscious way of tempering expectations.

Bryce Harper with Gold Glove catcher defense and w/o the d bag attitude.  I thought Harper would have over .900 OPS career, but he just shy at .899.  His slash line is .276/.387/.512.  I would be happy with that.  ?

I hope we have enough SP that is good enough for the team to compete within a couple years after Adley gets here. After all, it is Pitching for the most part, that determines whether a team is competitive or not.  Hope Adley turns out to be a real good catcher for young pitchers to pitch to.   His contribution in that regard is very vital for Orioles success in the next few years.

    • Oh, I thought you were taking about his hitting in high leverage situations. 
    • Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.
    • Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.
    • i think we all are going to have ptsd from that 9th inning for a while,it was that brutally bad . they need to do some special to get us to forget about it
    • wow,did gunnar and adley have to do this last season? 
    • I suggested that earlier but I think it's probably a bad play with no out. The O's have like 85% probability of scoring. There is a huge downside risk of Mullins popping up the bunt for a double play. He could also whiff on the bunt making at least Holliday an easy out. With one out and only 65% probability of scoring it's a much better play. I think if Santander and Mullins were reversed in the lineup Hyde may have done it but not when you have two shots to get the run in.
