I’ll say it. I don’t think it’s a bad look for him at all. I know people hate the truth and honesty but I don’t. He was asked a question and is clearly hurt by what they said.

Telling the truth and standing up for yourself is acting like an adult. Being honest is acting like an adult. Could he have said nothing?  Sure. Does he need to? No.    Absolutely not

Different situation.  But it happens all the time all over the league.  Just today there were two cases decided involving a $300 k dispute. I am not someone who believes that teams should just ca

That doesn't mean they think his speaking out is appropriate. 

Well i thought I would speak out my own admittedly harsh opinion about him doing it.  He is quite representative to me of the entitled 20 something pro athletes.  Going to go see what Brewer fans are thinking.

I think he's not acting like an adult and yea, it's a bad look.

You lost, suck it up and drive on.

You don't want to play nice, hit them with the old no comment.

Keep pitching well and in two years you can sign where you want for what you want.

Correct, plus he’s already making a smidgen more than a veteran like Kyle Gibson.

Absolutely not a bad look and now he has made the org look bad and he also is fighting for his teammates and letting them know what the organization really thinks.

Yes let’s see what his customers who pay his salary think.

I tend to agree with this.  I also find it funny though when players say it’s a business when it comes to asking for money, but take it personal when the team treats the arbitration like a business.  I can’t say that’s for sure the case here.   Maybe Burnes has indicated a willingness to take a discount with the team or has done so in some way and has a reason to expect the team to treat him a bit more like a family member. But the above does apply to plenty of players who are just looking for the most money, which is fine, just don’t get upset in that instance when the team treats you like an employee and not a family member.

      9/26: A Weak Effort In New York

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I was at a meeting and came out to the Orioles down 1-0. I looked away for what seemed like a minute and it was 5-0, then 7-0. Do we know why Burnes was lifted after just 69 pitches after 5 innings? Was he hurt? Do we know why Cano was brought into the game in the 6th (Have to imagine his adrenaline may not have been as flowing at that stage of the game)?  Obviously the bullpen was pretty horrific last night, but could some of this be because Hyde was using guys who typically are late in game relievers in the 6th inning?

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      Good point on the age.  I think it would have to be someone like Nate George from this year's draft just blowing up next year. The story would be how everyone missed on him because he played in a cold weather state.

      First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.

      Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By e16bball · Posted

      I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.
