Someone refresh my memory please on how many spots we have open on our 40 Man?  I thought we had one, but with signing Lyles and Chirinos, aren't we going to have to designate someone, or is there someone injured we can put on the 60 day IL?

Would assume we would sign one or two more Free agents to major league deals, someone has to go (not that there isn't some folks I don't think we would miss).

What is the basis of this accusation? I'm genuinely curious.

He liked a tweeted calling for the n word to be shot dead. It’s so awful I am not going to post it but I think that should give you an indication. You can find it on Reddit and Twitter I believe. Many I know were shocked he wasn’t immediately released.

I take racism much more seriously than you clearly.

Hmmm, maybe.   I’ve successfully represented the NAACP in a race discrimination class action case, and I do about 100 hours of volunteer work a year for a foundation that sponsors racial justice fellowships for law students.  But, if you think a player should be taken off the 40-man roster because he liked a racist tweet several years ago and then took it down, then you probably do feel more strongly than I do.  I don’t like the fact that he did that, but I don’t think it’s a reason to keep him off the roster.    (PS - just saw your subsequent post.   I’ve never seen the actual post Akin “liked” but it sounds pretty bad.)

I saw 2 "examples," one which seemed to just be celebrating old The Dukes Of Hazzard TV show (which happened to include a picture of their car with the Confederate flag on it) and another which is admittedly pretty distasteful but which is also 6 years old. I'm not sure I would unperson someone over a liked tweet from over half a decade ago but I also think it would be perfectly fair for one of our local sports reporters to ask him or the organization to comment on the matter, which does not seem to have happened from my cursory research.

This seems fair, keep in mind 6 years ago he was 20...so not a kid.

Akin liked a tweet celebrating the Dukes of Hazard TV show.  There's nothing wrong with that.  At all.

He also like a tweet calling for a cop killer to be shot.  The cop killer was referred to using a racial slur.

The racial slur is ugly and unnecessary and highly offensive.  And someone should have a talk with Akin about representing himself professionally on social media.

However, if the naughty word upsets you more than the dead cop, you are a child and not a serious person.

Well clearly you are better than all of us then, case closed.

I can message you the tweet in question. It’s bad. Even Trumpers I know thought it was disgusting. If you want to see it, I’ll message it, not post it. It’s much worse than what is being discussed here.

      Playoff closer

      By Grt 2BA FL Gator · Posted

      I would be OK with this and it’s what Hyde was doing with Kimbrel in a way too. We’ve got guys that can match up, let’s try to take advantage.

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      By accinfo · Posted

      A 90 win season with Grayson missing at least 10 starts, Means and Bradish missing at least 20 each.  Throw in Tyler Wells missing most of the season and other injuries I think this team and its management has done well.  If just a little more healthy they could have had back to back 100 win seasons.  I am glad we have Mike Elias and Brandon Hyde leading this team.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Some interesting things of note from https://www.samford.edu/sports-analytics/fans/2023/Sabermetrics-101-Understanding-the-Calculation-of-WAR. I pulled out the relevant areas: Fangraphs allocates 570 WAR for position players and 430 WAR for pitchers, while Baseball-Reference allocates 590 WAR for position players and 410 WAR for pitchers The major difference between fWAR and bWAR comes from the measurement of fielding runs, which is the defensive output a player provides. Fangraphs uses a statistic called Ultimate Zone Rating (UZR), while Baseball-Reference uses a statistics called Defensive Runs Saved (DRS). The differences in these stats can lead to drastically different calculations in WAR for some position players. UZR takes into account 3 years of players’ data as well as MLB data to determine these percentages, whereas DRS uses essentially 1 year of data. Therefore, some rookies will have drastically different UZR and DRS stats. As opposed to positional players, Fangraphs and Baseball-Reference take drastically different steps in calculating the WAR of pitchers. It does not follow the formula for position players but does try to calculate the “wins” that a pitcher gives to their team. Instead, they use a “base” statistic to help calculate WAR. Fangraphs uses FIP, or fielding independent pitching, as its base for calculating pitchers' WAR, whereas Baseball-Reference focuses on Runs Allowed per 9 innings (RA9) for its base I think the main takeaway for Gil, bWAR likes him more than FanGraphs probably because FG aims to take the defensive element out of the calculation by centering on FIP. And if we look at FIP, his is close to 4. But Baseball Reference is using RA9 which does have a defensive element inherently calculated. As for Cowser, I reckon FG likes him more than BBRef particularly on the defensive metric side of things. Maybe BBRef is harsher on the DRS side than FG is on the UZR side. To me, I like FG for pitchers far more than BBRef. For position players, I’d give the nod to FG but mainly because I think DRS can have some wide swings where UZR has a tendency to be more centered.

      Climbing the list of most O’s wins in two consecutive seasons

      By Frobby · Posted

      The win tonight in game 161 allowed the 2023-24 Orioles to reach 191 wins, tied with the 1964-65 and 1965-66 teams for the 7th most wins in consecutive seasons.  With a win tomorrow, they could move up to a tie for 5th. Tonight’s win also gave the O’s 275 wins over the last 3 seasons, tied for 11th with the 1975-77 and 1976-78 O’s.  They could move into a tie for 10th with a win tomorrow.
