Imagine Correa is signed to a 12 year deal and reaggravates a previous injury in his 3rd year that reduces him to a replacement level 1b/dh?  Obviously these big market teams can waste $30 mill/yr and not be phased, since that might be 5 or 6% of the Mets yearly payroll by the time this deal is done.  That's the equivalent of a Jordan Lyles for the O's.

Exactly. The same could and most likely will happen to Boegarts  and Judge but the difference is there is apparently nothing on either of their physicals to concretely site this as a reason not to give those contracts. It just sucks for Carlos.

I have a hard time seeing the O's sign a guy that failed two high profile physicals.

You're engaging with me, hombre. You can't tell me that, ironic or not, you're surprised he's failed two physicals.   I found a photo of his grandfather, no wonder he's this brittle.  Bad g

I'll save my tears for those making less than $25 mill/year.

I think the O's could alleviate some of the negativity by offering Correa a 15-year, $400 million contract, and then retract it after the physical and say, "Hey, we tried". Then nay-sayers couldn't claim the O's weren't willing to throw ludicrous money around like the big market clubs...

Posted it in the MLB thread, but it's shocking that someone who's spent half his career on the IL can't pass two physicals.

Big time pass.  

Ironically, the issue he has with these physicals has nothing to do with any injury he has had in the majors and nothing he has missed time for in the majors.

I'm not sure if that's the win you think it is.  Just goes to show there's more wrong with him than what his previous injury history has entailed.  

But you're also engaging in a bit of semantics here, saying that it's not had to do with any injury he's had in the majors and nothing he's missed time for in the majors.  If you're reading what I'm reading, it's a right ankle injury that he had in the minors.  

That said, we can agree that the hold-up surrounds a right ankle injury he suffered as a professional baseball player.

I’m not engaging in anything. You mentioned that he has missed a lot of time, so you aren’t surprised he failed a physical.

All I’m saying is that it’s ironic that an injury that he hasn’t even missed time for is the hold up.

I’m the product here.   If they [the Twins] want my product, they’ve just got to come and get it.”   I guess nobody told him about the 10-day return policy!

      Or a guy that can just come up and give innings when the bullpen is shot after a doubleheader or even give a spot start and then be sent back down.  Is Pham a likely future ML starter, no, but he might bail the O's out of a pitching bind multiple times next year.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By slakattack · Posted

      Saturday's game was epically bad and not the type of loss a team on the upswing into the playoffs would suffer and one that I certainly hate to witness. I couldn't watch most of the game Sunday, but I wouldn't DVR it and then peek at the score either, I don't think that I would ever watch if I knew the outcome of a game in advance. The surprise elation (Gunnar's bases loaded double) and the agony of the non-send and inability to hit a sac fly is what keeps me coming back, old fool that I am.

      Orioles attendance 2024

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      Predicting what the attendance will do next year is like predicting Hurrican season in January.  There are so many outside factors that it is just a guess.  How will they finish the year, how much will the spend in the offseason, how many corporations want to get ticket plans,   how is the economy in 6 months, how do they play next season what teams we play and when, will teams like Red Sox, Yankees and big draws play well.   I also think one of the biggest factors is what corporations want to sponsor give aways and what time of promotions will they run.  If you look at attendance some of the largest attendance games minus the Phillies, Yankees games are for the best giveaway souvenirs.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By theobird · Posted

      I’m a big supporter of Brandon Hyde, but the last game against Detroit I think he made a mistake. Second and third, nobody out….I would have had mullins bunt. He’s a good bunter, and with holiday at third I think that’s walk off.

      So I guess Ohtani decided he was bored this year since he wasn’t pitching or playing the field, and decided to steal bases just to have something else to do besides hit.

      I’d say maybe they would have reached 2013 levels (2.357 mm), which would have been about another 76,000 fans.  I seriously doubt they would have reached 2014 (2.464 mm, another 183,000 fans).

      Great point. You are right Frobby. It wouldn't have been quite as bad if the Orioles dropped these series and they had to face Skubal both times but to be fortune enough not to get him either time and still lose 4 of 6 was even more disheartening.
