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. 

I agree it has improved significantly.

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

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.   

So the extra context that you are referring to (which i agree is absolutely important especially at the lower levels) actually makes the 2019 and 2021 Delmarva teams very comparable after all?   Is that what you meant?

Very interesting.  The Norfolk% throws off the trend.  Do you attribute the high number of Elias acquisitions at the AAA level to simply supplementing the MLB team, waiver claims, etc?

Yes, 100%. So far though, only Spenser Watkins has really contributed among the free agent signings. I think Dusten Knight will get an opportunity soon though. He's earned it.

Here’s how it’s gone for our affiliates by month:

Norfolk 8-15 May, 12-12 June, 9-18 July = 29-45 through July

Bowie 17-5 May, 13-13 June, 15-12 July = 45-30 through July

Aberdeen 15-7 May, 12-15 June, 11-16 July = 38-38 through July

Delmarva 17-6 May, 15-10 June, 11-17 July = 43-33 through July

July was pretty unkind to our affiliates, except for Bowie.   I think the strong start was partially because the O’s were so conservative in their player placements to begin the year.   Promotions have made it harder for guys to dominate their next level, though don’t tell that to Neustrom, Stowers or Westburg.

Will Adley drag the Tides to .500?   I'll save it for year end but guessing that "Adley Rutschman's team" will end up in the ballpark of winning 60% of their games.

I think the Tides have about 42 games to play.   They’d have to go 28-14 to reach .500.    I don’t see that happening.  .500 the rest of the way?   That’d be a good goal.

Week ending August 22

Norfolk (39-55) went 2-4 against Charlotte (36-59).   Next up: Jacksonville (53-43). 

Bowie (57-37) went 4-2 against Reading (36-60).   Next up: Erie (50-46).

Aberdeen (48-45) went 1-4 against Asheville (41-51).   Next up: Brooklyn (35-58).

Delmarva (54-42) went 6-0 against Fredericksburg (33-63).   Next up: Salem (57-39).

Norfolk and Aberdeen really blew opportunities to take advantage of weak opponents this week.   Delmarva certainly didn’t and the newly promoted talent really shined.

Fredericksburg looks Orioles level bad.  Salem looks Tampa Bay level good.  Let’s see if Delmarva can keep this up against tougher competition.  Hope they can.

      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.

      Wild card series roll call

      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.
