Funny you say this Tony.  I was thinking yesterday that after the Means no hitter, he was on SC and they asked about him how the team was off to a surprising start...he talked about the attitude and chemistry of the team ..how they had fun with each other, etc...

After listening to Hyde about the bunt in the 9th and overall blunders in the field ie. failed double plays etc. Hyde is a stop gap manager with these stop gap players. All need to go to be successful. In the mean time this team is unwatchable at times.

After another ho hum loss today, the Orioles are now 2-13 since John Means ' no-hitter. So much for a boost.

When exactly did Chris Holt vanish?  I want to say it was a day or so before the no-hitter?

What did Hyde say about Hays' bunt? I thought that was a really dumb play. Whose idea was it, and if it was Hays' is someone telling him it was a bad move and why?

Didn't Santander have a similar play this year? I don't know that we ever got an explanation for that one either.

Last year trying to cover the gaps in live baseball and watching oldies, I was shocked by how often good hitters, even in non-bunt situations, bunted or tried to. I think Clemente in the 1960 series, for example.

How things have changed. Or, if this is another "year of the pitcher," maybe not so much.

Maybe the O's can go 13-2 if they give into the 2021 trend and get no-hit themselves.

They might as well give it a try. It's hard to go 2-13. It takes a special kind of suckitude to lose that often over a 15 games stretch.

It's all Hyde's fault. He should have known allowing Means to complete the no hitter would throw the team into a funk. Just terrible managing. ?

David Hess seconds that opinion.

Can't tell whether you're being a sarcastic. I'm absolutely sure you know that there are plenty of decent teams that have had similar streaks.

      At least relative to the rest of the league Santander has an interesting profile because he is comfortably above-average at making contact; his whiff rates are much better than Trumbo's so he's not really as much of a TTO player as you would think.  This gives him hope that he will age a little bit better than someone like Trumbo.  Though he's still got a good shot of being out of the league in 3 years.

      It's not the money, it's the years.  I wouldn't mind signing him for a year or two, even at what I'd consider to be stupid money.  But what I DON'T agree with is signing him for any more than 2-3 years as I don't think he's going to age well.  And I expect him to get more than 3 years from someone, so I'm a hard pass.  Can we afford him?  Money wise, sure.  But I don't want to see us stuck with him 4-5 years down the road when his skillset has greatly diminished, but he's still playing every day because we owe him a lot of money and a lot of loyalty.  Let some other club take that risk, get the QO pick and move on.

      Santander does exactly ONE thing very well: Hit HRs He doesn't hit for average, he doesn't get on base, he's a very slow runner, and he is a very poor defender. If he stops hitting HRs so often, his value completely evaporates and his contract basically becomes dead money, and the Orioles cannot afford to eat large amounts of dead money like the Dodgers, Mets, and Yankees of the world. I am simply using Trumbo, whose basic tool kit is very similar to Santander's, as a fairly recent, Orioles-related cautionary tale. Trumbo had his big walk year with the Orioles at age 30 and instead of doing the smart, obvious thing and taking the free draft pick, we gave him a big money extension that everyone except the FO knew was probably going to end poorly. Baseball Savant has Santander in the 22nd percentile in terms of overall fielding value. However you want to slice it, he isn't going to make up any lost value from declining offense with his defense. If his ability to slug goes south, the whole contract goes with it, because he has no other tools to make up for that with.

      Santander is -2 OAA this year. He’s averagish to below average. There but there are much worse defensive right fielders such as Adolis Garcia and Castellanos -9, Lane Thomas and Renfroe -8, and Soto -4. Acuna and Tatis are also -2 OAA.  In 2016, Mark Trumbo was -15 OAA. They’re not even in the same universe.

      Anthony Santander (age 27-29): .245 / .317 / .477 / .794    124 OPS+   9.0 rWAR Mark Trumbo (age 27-29): .244 / .299 / .443 / .742   105 OPS+  2.6 rWAR Is it really very meaningful that Trumbo was the better player when they were significantly younger? 29-year-old Santander is a better player by miles than Trumbo at the same age, and he has been for years. I think that’s what matters most to how you’d project them over the next few years.

      I love Tony and I honestly think we are gonna miss his veteran leadership as much as anything. I’m very happy we have him for this year. But I do think he’d be a bad long term investment.

      He’s the best player in history. No one can convince me otherwise.  I didn’t say he has the most records or the most counting stats or the most MVPs. That’s not what I said.  He’s just the best player in baseball history.
