How many teams have a "BTF caliber" big 3?

I guess you could make an argument for Houston, but I'm not sure they are quite the same caliber. If tatis was playing right now, I would say San Diego does. That's really about it. Lots of teams have one or two studs, but three, not so much.

Gunnar Henderson needs to be hitting higher up in the batting order.

Not a full on collapse but pretty darn close.

I'd actually rather be playing the Rays right now.

It's so painful to admit the Blow Jays are just on fire right now. As long as them, Yankees and Astros lose in the playoffs I'm happy. 

It's not a collapse at all. We haven't lost a series to a non-division opponent since July. The AL East is just an absolute monster division. Always has been, but it's going to be especially ludicrous for the next few years. Such is life.

I was late to the game (8th inning) as it's festival season and our family band was playing in town today. I got the Jays home broadcast and decided to stick there for awhile. I remember when Buck Martinez was an O's broadcaster for awhile. I though he'd died or retired. Not a bad guy or anything, but his pinched voice reminds me of the latter day Barney Rubble (when they switched voice actors). He was also one of the baseball cards I seemed to get in every pack and got sick of seeing his skinny face.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      Wieters' bWAR was 13.3 through his first 4 seasons (2009 - 2012).  It ended at 18.3 after his last season in 2020, so he was basically ineffective for the last 8 years of his career. Adley's bWAR is 13.1 through his first 3 seasons. So it isn't like Wieters didn't have a strong start to his career just like Adley did.  I think the concern that folks have is that the rest of Adley's career will play out like the rest of Wieters' career.  It seemed very unlikely halfway through this year, but this has been one hell of a drop-off.   And after Wieters never lived up to expectations, it is definitely a fear that we may be reliving this again.  Let's hope this second half was just an aberration.

      Adley has been in a horrible almost 4 month slump. Before that, he was the WAY BETTER offensive player. But I pose this question: What does it matter if Rutschman turns out to be worse than Wieters? Matt Wieters was drafted almost TWENTY YEARS AGO. No one in this org had anything to do with him being on our roster. HEck none of our current front office was even here for his entire Orioles' career.

      I do feel like Adley is out of shape or at least has gotten more out of shape than usual. That’s part of the reason I think he’s hurt…not working out as much. If he is healthy and the slump is this bad, I’m ok questioning whether or not the new GF(ie the distraction) is part of it. Is he putting everything into the game that he should?

      Can the O's hit Lugo and Wacha?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      Can they? - Yes it's possible. Anything is possible.  Will they? - I have my doubts. The team was abysmal (minus Cedric Mullins and O'Hearn's pinch hit appearance) with the bat in their hands yesterday. And for many of our hitters this was nothing more than a continuation/carryover from the second half of the season.

      Right now Geronimo Gil is better than Adley.  But I'm not gonna kick Adley while he's down.  Let him get a reset, work on some things in the offseason, and hope that this 2nd half ends up being just an aberration in a good career.

      Which is crazy since they put 7 on the board vs Ragans hitting all singles. They had an approach that worked and then they went away from it.
