Some of the posters here remind me of the Carrie Fisher character in “When Harry Met Sally”: “he’s never going to leave his wife, is he?”    Well, duh no, he isn’t.    When Elias traded Mancini a

The gist of this entire thread for many posters seems to be: 1.  Play your nine best players everyday and never give any of them a day off, because we’re in a playoff race, dammit! 2.  The b

Why the heck is Odor starting today and Stowers sitting on the bench?  Odor shouldn't get a single start between now and the end of the season.  Stupid.  Vavra should be starting in the infield and Stowers in the outfield instead of Vavra playing OF.  

 

Opps, I obviously misread it.  I saw Odor at 2nd and Vavra in the outfield and jumped to conclusions.  My bad.

Ok, I screwed up on Stowers not being in the lineup.  Still doesn't change that fact that Odor should start another game for us really.  Urias should be playing instead so we can have as much data as possible on who we move forward with next year.  Odor is out of that equation thankfully, Urias is not.

Honestly don't mind the Odor v Verlander matchup compared to Hays v Verlander if we're going to play Odor a time or two per week. 

The best chance to beat Verlander might be with the HR. Hays has no power recently and maybe Odor can lucky guess his way to a flag court shot.

That’s fair.  But as long as the other guys are in, I don’t care as much.

You know what Urias is.  Besides, the Orioles are playing a lot of games in a row.  It’s inevitable that rest is going to happen.

I think if you want to nitpick on things, it’s that Westburg should be up here.

Doesn't make any difference to me if Odor or Hays is in the lineup. Just want to see Stowers and Vavra every day.

This! Plus Odor in the lineup, gives something to complain about.😀 Against Verlander, not sure it makes a bit of difference. I believe Odor does have several home runs against him though.

Yep, I want to see Westburg more than Grayson. Because the most Grayson is going to get is maybe 2-3 starts which is fine. I'd rather see him go to the Arizona League but I don't think he's on the roster.

Good to see Vavra and Stowers in there.   Vavra can still be an integral part of next year’s team.

Vavra has great pitch recognition skills.  I think he needs to bulk up over the offseason to add some power, so that he can make opposing pitchers pay for throwing him too many strikes.

Odor is 6 for 39 (.154) career against Verlander, but two of those hits are homers.

Will a game-winning two run single suffice?

      You put Ventura in the 1884 Union Association and he wins 57 games just that year. Well, except being a mentally unstable member of a minority group in a less enlightened era, with what was probably a limited grasp of English, I'm thinking he gets shot in a bar the evening after opening day...

      Basallo for Miller y/n?

      By RarityFlaherty · Posted

      What does everyone think about Tyler Soderstrom or Kyle McCann? I think I might be willing to trade Basallo if we can get someone like Miller plus some decent depth at catcher. We could also maybe add a couple of our younger lower level prospects to the trade. The A’s are probably looking for as much youth as possible and don’t have as much use for these guys who can contribute now.   I think depth at catcher will be big for the O’s, with as much as they want to DH Adley. Would love to have a lefty hitting catcher with some power to give Adley more regular days off. The biggest hangup I’d have to trading Basallo is that he could end up being that guy. If he doesn’t look like he can stick at catcher, I’d be more willing to trade him because we already have plenty of 1B/DH type guys.

      On the other hand, @Sports Guy's take isn't uncommon because Nick had a 7.4 win season at the age of 24. Following a really good season at 23, and a solid rookie season at 22 after he skipped AA. If you look hard enough in the archives here you can find a post I made in 2009 or 2010 saying Nick had about a 1-in-3 chance of being a Hall of Famer. 14 wins through three seasons and age 24 is a heck of a foundation to build on. Lots of Hall of Famers were behind that pace. But unfortunately he never had another 3-win season, much less a seven. Age 27 peak is just an average, it's not destiny. But it's pretty rare to have Nick's first three years and then not have much more career value from age 25-36, total. Injuries or whatever reason, he was worth 14 wins from 22-24, and 20 from 25-36. And as much as I wanted him to stay, his years in Atlanta were just treading water, piling up base hits, but a cumulative value above replacement in six years about equal to his 2008 season. Nick was almost certainly not a difference-maker the large majority of his last 8-9 years in the league.

      Which one of those is he not on par with in terms of talent? Maybe Chapman? Maybe.

      He's going to be on next year's ballot for the actual Cooperstown HOF. So if they don't care when you're "officially" retired why should the Orioles?
