One way to look at each level is by seeing how much of the talent Elias drafted or acquired through trade/minor league free agency Team           Players on roster      Duquette acquired   Duquet

Thought this might be a fun activity on Mondays when the minors are dark.   Last week, Norfolk went 1-5 against Jacksonville to run its record to 4-14.    They’ve played Jacksonville 12 times alr

I know many will disagree, at least in terms of importance, but I am heartened when the MiL clubs are winning.

Me too. Helps me find something positive with the Orioles struggling and gives me hope.

Norfolk seems to be getting better. I think they could make a run the last two months with some reinforcements from Bowie.

Fatten up the numbers at home one last week?  

Richmond/Somerset 2-week road trip then ensues for Baysox, while next week Norfolk comes home for ye almighty Durham Bulls.   

Let's play the Big Two against them and see what happens.

Seems like the Tides play Durham every other week.   They’ve already played them 16 times with two rainouts to be played later (going 4-12 so far).    They still play them another 19 times!

It blows my mind when people say Elias hasn't done anything.  His first year GRod and cast, on the Bowie team now, were in Delmarva tearing it up.   That was the first wave of talent and they keep winning/improving.  Each year after we have added more talent and more systems to the minors and they continue to get better.  Next year I'd expect AAA Norfolk to start winning.  2023 The Baltimore Orioles should be looking pretty good.  Elias has done an incredible job.

For comparison sake:

2019 Minor League Records

-Norfolk 60-79  (.432)

-Bowie 76-64    (.543)

-Frederick 53-84   (.387)

-Delmarva 90-48    (.652)

 

The numbers have fallen off some since July 4th.   But overall there definitely has been some progress.

2021 comparison

-Norfolk  24-38    (.387)

-Bowie  37-27    (.578)

-Aberdeen  36-30   (.545)

-Delmarva  39-25   (.609)

 

Some affiliates are slightly better, some are slightly worse.   Aberdeen is infinitely better obviously, and yeah hopefully in 2022 we see even more improvement.

You have to look at things other than record, though.    For example, Delmarva was a very old team relative to its league in 2019, 3rd on batter age and 2nd in pitcher age.   Stock a low A team with older players and chances are they’ll do well.  The same remains true this year, as Delmarva is second-oldest in both pitching and batting.

Not sure why you are referencing GRod to make your point.   Drafted by Duquette right?   what did Elias do with GRod to get props

Because that was the team he was on along with his teammates.  Elias' player development system and coaches were put in to place that year

I agree and those are very valid points.  It just seems like a trend is starting to emerge.  In my 30+ years of watching this team, I can't remember success funneling up the system as it has in the last three years.

      They also haven’t announced the times, yet.

      Well, I don't like to predict things on message boards but my prediction is we will not acquire two pitchers with a better Zips projection than Kremer. I would be more surprised by two than I would be by zero.

      You can’t ignore how he pitched against Detroit and the makeup of their roster. He has more value than even Suarez if that is who we end up playing.

      By SteveA · Posted

      So it is different from last year? Last year the games were something like 3:00, 4:30, 7:00, and 8:30.   Have they said it will be different this year???

      The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense. I prefer to play NY. Worse pen, doesn’t run as much.  Not a bunch of contact hitters.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.
