Buxton is hitting .205 with OpS of .799.  Buxton the most overrated player in the game for years.  He plays a great defense but never stays healthy and been all star level about one half a season in the last 7 years.  

He's usually pretty good when healthy.  I believe he has produced more WAR per game than Betts the last few years.  Of course staying healthy should be the 6th tool and he has never done that.  The .205 average is surprising and I checked and saw he has been missing games regularly.  I assume he is fighting injuries, again.

I don’t know why you say he’s the most overrated player in the game for years.   He’s been worth a healthy 17.5 rWAR at age 28 and yet has never made an all-star game.   I think that says he’s not that highly rated.  Obviously, he was highly rated as a prospect.   Overall, at 17.5 rWAR, he’s been a lot less disappointing than a lot of other no. 1 guys.

You’re certainly right that he’s far from a given to be an all star this year.  OriolesMagic83 probably didn’t realize that since his trip to Baltimore a few weeks back, Buxton has taken an absolute nosedive, batting .103 over the last 15 games and seeing his OPS drop about 250 points.   He was hot as a firecracker when we faced him, and now he’s cold as ice.   Early in the season, those hot and cold spells have an exaggerated effect on how players are perceived.

Mark Belanger, Luis Aparicio, Cal Ripken, Jr., Miguel Tejada, JJ Hardy, Mike Bordick?  

Your mind doesn't need changing.  It needs to be opened.  Lol

If you extrapolate the 13 innings and 11 attempts Ty got at SS in 2009 over a career, it’s statue worthy.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      I was hoping that would be this season, but he faded this second half. But even Gunnar not living up to his lofty expectation is still a good player with an .811 OPS.

      Mike Elias simply can't offer Michael Baumann, Cristian Pache, Connor Norby and Kyle Stowers this kind of experience. Jack Flaherty was kind of Meh again, but hey, at least he isn't on Detroit for this weekend. It is a special player to get to watch.    He's reviving some of the Babe Ruth "he hits too brilliantly to let him pitch" stuff, but hombre is going to do whatever he wants to do, it is part of the deal.    It does seem pretty likely the SB to this scale are a 1-time deal with the legs getting the year off from the mound. I do have a baseball-y wish to see if he could be Ken Griffey, Jr. in center field if he tried.

      AL playoff picture

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      Hopefully it will be like giving a blood transfusion to a sickly patient. Yes some players haven't played as well this season, but it's mainly the injuries that have taken it's toll. The lineup gets much better if Westburg, Urias and Mountcastle are back. No longer does Eloy have to play and Holliday can be platooned. Plus O'Hearn will absolutely not see at bats against LHP like he has been recently at times. Webb and Coulombe provide depth to make the bullpen postseason viable. And Coulombe can close games instead of Dominguez assuming he's back all the way.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By survivedc · Posted

      Gunnar stands to improve on: fielding and stolen bases. I also think he’ll have a 1.000OPS season or two before he’s done.

      Anthony Santander 2024

      Maybe they were going by Tony's reaction, not realizing that with the winning run on third there wasn't any point in running.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By OrioleintheATL · Posted

      looks like some of y'all are gonna be pissed when we win 2 of 3 against Detroit, at least one in NY and 2 o 3 against Minn.  I'd be embarassed if I were some of you....projecting the apathy and misery in your own little lives onto our O's.  This is a F upped sport and a team with talent like this can turn on a dime and start winning consistently at any time.  This isn't over.  I you're mad that your life hasn't worked out well......please don't bring the rest of us down.
