The O's were basically a couple of bad series against the Tigers and A's away from the playoff.  I feel like the O's were worn down at the end of the season more than anything.  The will to win was still there, but there was no energy reserve left.  Here's to a great offseason (counting on Elias and Angelos) and an even better 2023.

I don't think it was about being worn down. They overachieved and didn't have a playoff caliber roster. Put 2 more reliable starters in the rotation and replace a few hitters with one to two 800+ OPS players, and this team is dancing.

A lot of improvement can come from better bench players too.  When you're bench was Biemboom, Owings, and McKenna to start the year, improvement isn't hard to find.

Absolutely. I'm pretty sure that we may have seen the last of players who don't produce. McKenna, Odor, Nevin.

Even Hays, Vavra and Mountcastle need to be working their arses off this offseason.

Yeah Mateo too.  They should all be figuring out what hitting academy they plan to spend a large part of the offseason at.

I actually think Mateo is in a different category. He is (likely) a gold glover at one of the most important positions on the diamond. If he could OPS 700 with the same defense he's coveted by every ML club

I personally believe Elias shops Mateo this offseason. We'll see.

I thought they were going to lose 100 games.   Instead they worked hard, improved their performance levels and had a great season.  Hopefully they build on it and we see a long stretch of playoff appearances.   

I think we've seen the last of Rougned Odor, Tyler Nevin, DJ Stewart, Yusniel Diaz, Zac Lowther, Bruce Zimmerman and Jordan Lyles in the organization.

Overall, I think 83 wins is awesome.  And I give almost all of that credit to the pitching staff who really kept us in so many games.  I am disappointed that we lost the season series to every divisional opponent (especially when three of them were 10-9 and we lost the last game to each).  And the hitting was brutally weak over the last 30 games.  But big picture, this was a great season and I am glad that collectively we finally have real expectations going into the offseason.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      The last column is IRS, which means “inherited runners scored”  Inherited runners would be IR and I am surprised that I didn’t see it anywhere in that column. This particular site has a different set of initials, IRS means inherited runners scored. I don’t think that can possibly be correct, because that would be a huge number.

      LOL. 1.  I never said Basallo was an elite athlete. 2. I’ve said I’d like to see Basallo improve his plate discipline similar to what he showed 2nd half last year. 3. Basallo also needs to keep improving defensively. 4. I hope Basallo can improve over the 2nd half of the season. 5. I’d like to see Holliday cut down the strikeouts and get his average over .300 6.  I think he has a flaw in his mechanics which causes him to pull off the ball.  I hope he corrects it.   Where’s the problem?

      Last trip to Oakland, July 5-7, 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      Trust me, you missed nothing by missing the Coliseum.   Why “should” we have swept Seattle?   They’re leading their division, playing in their park.  I’m really happy to have taken 2 of 3.  Losing the 2-0 lead was disappointing but the offense just didn’t do much in that game and obviously the pen had a bad day.   More generally, I never “expect” a sweep of any opponent.   Sure, I hope for some sweeps, and we’ve had some.  But even a team like Oakland wins more than 1/3 of its games, and the odds basically never favor a sweep even when a really good team faces a really bad one.   Just win the game in front of us, that’s my plan.

      I'm going to somebody other than Akin.  Perez wasn't available since he pitched in back to back games. Same goes for Kimbrel.  I generally like Cano when he hasn't had a ton of rest which hurts sinkerballers, so he'd be a decent option.  In order of preference there: Webb Cano Let Baker finish it out Akin  Tate I reckon Hyde had that Showalter in him and was hoping to use Webb in the 9th. But I'm really opposed to just slotting guys into innings and more about putting them in based on effectiveness and situation. High leverage is really going against guys like Akin.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      That works, though I'd really prefer it if we didn't trade within the division, if possible.  I'd rather our prospects helped other teams rather than rivals.
