I want the O's to sign Adley long term so the extra year issue is moot.

It’s never moot.  The fact that he’s eligible for FA one year earlier will be factored into the length and cost of any deal the club negotiates with him.  

I’m at peace with it.  He’s earned any extra credit he gets this year.

      Plus Holliday is younger than all of the above listed players and that matters.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      This is not incorrect. I'm not saying he inherited runners in all 37 games. That's just the number of games he's pitched in. IRS is number of inherited runners that scored. Prior to yesterday's game, he pitched in 36 games and allowed 21 inherited runners to score. As I said yesterday, it is now 37 and 24. From CBS, see below (ref: https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/stats/player/extended-pitching/al/regular/all-pos/qualifiers/?sortcol=irs&sortdir=descending)

      He’s slugging .476/.921 AAA SLG /OPS before promotion: Henderson .504/.894 Adley .480/.879 Westburg .533/.899 Cowser .498/.896 Let’s not continue the narrative that he isn’t thriving at AAA.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By luismatos4prez · Posted

      Good point, I assumed since he's 32 he'd been on a 40 man roster and wouldn't have options but it looks like you're right. And he's been lights out in Norfolk. I'd rather see him get a look than Krook or McGough.

      Last trip to Oakland, July 5-7, 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      Looks like the A’s will be in Sacramento next year, so this should be the last trip the O’s ever make to Oakland.  I went to a game there in 1980 and it was a dump then; I can only imagine what it is now.   Coming into tonight, the A’s are 33-56 but coming off a 3-game sweep of the Angels.   It’s definitely seared in my memory that Oakland took 2 of 3 against the Orioles back in April, with Craig Kimbrel blowing two saves.   I’d really like to see the O’s take some revenge this weekend. It appears the pitching matchups will be: Albert Suarez (4-2, 2.43 ERA) vs. Hogan Harris (1-2, 3.18).  Suarez faced Oakland on April 28 and did poorly, allowing 4 ER in 4 innings.  Harris has never faced the Orioles.  He has generally pitched well, but was roughed up in his last start, allowing 3 runs on 10 hits in 3.1 IP. Cade Povich (1-2, 4.05 ERA) vs. Luis Medina (1-1, 4.80).  Povich has never faced the A’s.  The O’s saw Medina last year and treated him rudely, scoring 4 runs (3 earned) on 5 hits in 3 innings.  Medina is coming off a very good start in which he held the DBacks to 1 run in 6 IP. Grayson Rodriguez (10-3, 3.45) vs. Mitch Spence (5-4, 4.15).  Grayson’s only game against Oakland was the second start of his career, and Oakland pounded him for 5 ER in 4.1 innings.  Spence threw 3 no-hit innings of relief against the O’s on April 26 and picked up the win in that game. Oakland has a pretty decent bullpen that has the 9th best ERA at 3.55, a 14-16 record, and they’ve saved 17 of 30 (57%).  Their closer Mason Miller is terrific (14 saves,  2 blown saves, 2.39 ERA, 15.8 K/9).  The Orioles’ pen is 12th at 3.64 ERA, 19-12, and they’ve saved 29 of 43 (67%).    Offensively, the series is a mismatch on paper.   The A’s are 28th in MLB in runs per game at 3.63 and 21st in OPS+ at 94.  Brent Rooker (154 OPS+) was a thorn in our side in Baltimore, and there a couple of other decent hitters in their lineup.  The O’s are first in R/G at 5.14 R/G and OPS+ at 123.  But, we know Oakland is a tough place to score runs and especially to hit home runs.   Hopefully the O’s will show some patience this weekend. Overall, the A’s are a poor-hitting team, but their pitching is capable of keeping them in games and we obviously can’t take them lightly after what happened in Baltimore.

      Don’t bring facts, education or common sense into the discussion.  It’s not welcomed!

      Yea that subpar 900+ OPS really sucks!     And yes, plenty of people care about those at bats.  You would have to be Stevie Wonder to not see that.
