If you’d asked me a few weeks ago, I probably would have told you that I didn’t care if Aaron Judge hit homer 60, 61 or 62 against us.    I’m not sure what’s changed, but in the words of the gr

So, you win the series, Judge doesn’t get his homer and Yankee fans cried like little b!tches. That adds to up to an almost perfect series.

I would definitely walk him every single at bat tomorrow after their fans were chanting “a-hole” at Watkins today.

Bunch of entitled pieces of human trash.

I laughed when Lyles was asked about pitching to Judge and he responded "I wanted to get out of the Bronx alive."

I guess I missed the unwritten rule where if a guy is trying to move into sole possession of 7th place on the all-time single-season homer list you have to stop trying to win the game and throw him meatballs.  Somebody needs to write these things down, I'm always forgetting.

My thing is this shouldn't be a new strategy for the O's with Judge. All season, even before that, I kept saying to people, "Why do we even pitch to this guy?". Now that it doesn't matter anymore, I don't really care that much. Go for it. Try to strike him out. 

No way.  If I was pitching to him, I would not want to be remembered as ‘that pitcher’ who gave up the 61st gopher ball to him.  So I say ‘hell no’ to your comment.

62, but I do agree with the video show earlier somewhat. No one remembers that anyway.

Yea I agree with that too. No one remembers and no one cares.

At this point, I just hope he doesn’t get it just because of these dbag fans.  Judge himself is actually a great dude and a hell of an ambassador for the sport. So, for him, I hope he does it but to see that fan base suffer, only to watch them suffer more when they lose early in the playoffs, is very gratifying.

Easy solution. He gets it, but on the road in Texas instead of at Yankee Stadium. Fans don’t get to say they were there and Yankee Stadium doesn’t get yet another iconic moment. But Judge gets his record. 
 

one more game to avoid this HR. At this point for today it’s all I care about.

      Do the Orioles Need Players with Postseason Experience?

      Don't think it matters much, tbh.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Oh, I'd love to have one come through our system by being drafted and developed. No doubt at all.

      Paging @Tony-OH to the thread.  🤣 I've actually advocated for this in the minors forums...letting other teams draft and try to develop guys to see which have a shot of sticking and which don't.  Essentially let other teams make mistakes in the draft and trade for guys that are still in the lower levels in other systems but you think have a shot.  I do believe that's part of Elias's strategy....as risk adverse as he is, he's not going to take risks on drafting pitching if he views that's the biggest risk in the draft. All I'm saying it'd be nice to have a Skubal come through our system.  Does anyone really disagree with drafting and developing a Cy Young winner or is that something you guys aren't interested in?

      Oh, I get that. I just think you'd be hard pressed to say year in and year out the Central is anything but a mediocre division.  Typically, the AL East has at least 3 strong teams, with some seasons where 4-5 of them have winning records or close to it.  But it doesn't matter. As said before, I've been saying for weeks prior to the end of the season that the Tigers were a very good team. I just wouldn't trade our org, team, farm, whatever for the Tigers.

      3 of the 4 AL teams remaining are from the Central.

      Does it matter if they get drafted and developed vs. traded for and developed? Hell, the O's starting rotation was a strength this year. Here's a breakdown of how it was constructed: Burnes - traded for (Elias) Suarez - free agent (Elias) Kremer - traded for (Duquette) Eflin - traded for (Elias) Grayson - drafted (Duquette) Bradish - traded for (Elias) Povich - traded for (Elias) Irvin - traded for (Elias) Tyler Wells - Rule V (Elias) Rogers - traded for (Elias) McDermott - traded for (Elias) Means - drafted (Duquette) I'm excluding Bowman being an opener and getting a starting credit.  But that said, out of all of the starters that the O's used this year, none were drafted by Elias, and only 2 were drafted by the O's (GRod, Means). 8 were acquired via trade (7 by Elias, 1 by Duquette), and 2 via FA or Rule V.  I don't necessarily think that Elias needs to draft starters to build a rotation, but it would be nice to see a couple make it before being traded, TBH.  That said, I don't think the above is sustainable, but the strategy would be sustainable if you have free agency play a bigger part. Look at the Royals. Their best 3 starters weren't drafted by them (Ragans - traded for, Wacha - FA, Lugo - FA).

      Elias on contract extensions

      Unfortunately, it's looking like there is a lot of truth in that statement.  I believe Steve Bisciotti (Ravens owner) once said, he wanted to have a good team every year, get into the playoffs enough, eventually things go your way and win the Super Bowl.  This was in response to playing salary cap games for a few seasons and then eventually having to pay the piper with the dead money and being uncompetitive for a few years. Hopefully the O's can be consistently good and get hot at the end of the season and make a run through the playoffs.  Go back to June 1st and the five best teams in the league were the Orioles, Yankees, Guardians, Phillies and Dodgers.  Two are already out, Guardians fading fast with the Yankees and Dodgers still alive.   A Tigers - Mets World Series would be quite fitting.
