To me it’s just crazy to keep a 23 year old catcher in the minors. How many years are in those knees?  He’s going to be 24 next ST. 
 

All the more reason to keep him down.  You get the prime years and he is likely old enough when FA comes that it is clear you shouldn't keep him.  That's at least from a management perspective.

Mmmmmm, I'm pretty sure this completely wrong. Sisco had 1800ish PAs in the MiLs before his ML debut- and many hundred after it as well- and a full five years in the MiLs. Rutschman has 440

Witt, Jr. is 0-1 with a strikeout and Abrams is 0-2 with two strikeouts tonight. Clearly the Orioles made the right choice.

Unless of course this would have been one of his prime years...

But on the other hand............. and I know this is extremely productive and insightful.

Maybe.............. it wouldn't have been.

As always I hope you guys are getting a lot out of expressing your displeasure with what we all know is going to happen.

Hold on… so you’re telling me that part of his age 23/24 seasons will be more valuable than his age 30/31 seasons?  Crazy talk. 
 

This team is embarrassing. Elias does have a plan. It’s just a simulation/video game plan and not one for a professional organization.


You mean to tell me that the “MLB ready” #1 pick is going to take parts of FOUR years to reach the majors?

To put things into perspective… Chance Sisco is going to end up having spent less time in the minors(in terms of years)and he was a high school SS/C, that when drafted wasn’t even in the MLB top 200. AR meanwhile was the consensus #1 pick and NCAA MVP. 
 

That’s a joke.

Rutschman has 440 abs and will play the equivalent of one and a half years of MiL games before his debut next spring.

That’s why I said in terms of years and not ABs. When it’s all said and done Sisco will have spent less time in days/years than AR. That’s what I meant.

Well, yeah, but that is still also wrong.

Do you think AR was just sitting on the couch and not developing during the missed season last year?  I’m sorry, but for the NCAA MVP, Consensus #1 pick, who was viewed as just needing some pro ball tinkering, I don’t think that past year was a “lost” year. 

At the end of the day Sisco will have spent less time in years/months/days in the minors than AR. That’s just pure manipulation and what for?  I respect that Elias has a plan, but keeping a C down, under these specific circumstances, is just stupid.

You have this weird thing going on here in which you have folks talking up how Elias and company use technology and analytics but at the same time discount the value of the development time certain players had last season.

I apologize for the weird thing I do when somebody blatantly says falsehoods.  That whole objecting to them thing.  It's weird.  I know.

This is likewise false.  You keep repeating the same falsehood.

      I love this team, I love the Orioles

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      That Jimmy Fallon movie was Fever Pitch.  Came out in late 2004 I think, because they had enough time to have the last scene being him and Drew Barrymore on the field in St. Louis celebrating the World Series win.  It actually was a really good movie at the time. But because the Red Sox and their fanbase became completely insufferable beginning with that comeback against the Yankees and carrying all the way through their 4 championships without so much as a loss in the World Series, it is hard for me to still enjoy it. But the underlying premise and that question of what has your favorite team ever done for you definitely resonated and certainly does even more so now with the Orioles.  And for Os fans the answer to that question is over the last 40 years, they haven't done much at all.

      2024 Postseason Ticket Refund tracker

      By eddie83 · Posted

      I have 13 game plan. Last year I was refunded. I hope I am this year.    The Ravens used to keep your money for playoff games not played and people complained. They stopped doing it. It’s pretty unethical in my opinion they keep the money towards next year. You can use that money for something else and make payments when they are due. Instead a business getting handouts from the state keeps your money.    The fact that you didn’t get playoff tickets due to this is alarming. They should wake up and be called out on this. It’s not acceptable.

      Elias: It's on me

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      I didn't watch the Astros or Os press conferences, mainly because I didn't want to look at or hear anything Elias or Hyde said. But I imagine that Houston fans are going to be far more accepting of how things ended than our fans are (or should be). The Astros fan has had a pretty charmed life (cheating stigma aside) since the last time we won a playoff game.

      According to park factors, OPaCy was friendlier overall to righties compared to lefties. This is the second time in three season that has been the case. But it’s way friendlier to lefties in terms of hitting homers.

      By ThomasTomasz · Posted

      As someone who attended 15 games this year in section 80, and watched numerous games on TV, I might have had the chance at 3 home runs.   RHB are trying to work the ball towards the bullpen versus dead pulls.   OPACY, due to the summer humidity, is still the homer dome in the summer time.  But this was supposed to be our benefit to stack the lineup with LHB, and it was also proved that a team could stack their playoff roster with LHP to neutralize it.   I think the dimensions are going to be the way they are for a while, and I think the pitchers are going to be fine with it overall.  There were far too many ‘cheap’ home runs from RHB on high pop ups, but also off the end of the bat from LHB.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      The Diamondbacks have 125 million in 10 players. Would they really want to have at $155-$165 million in 11 players of a $199 million payroll (their 2023 amount)?   https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks/payroll/_/year/2025/sort/cap_total2
