Ehhh, I don’t think it’s a slight to Manny. I’m not saying he wasn’t a fan favorite. But I think Adley’s connection is different. He’s out there drinking and partying with the fans. Just seems a little more approachable.

 

I think Manny would always be a bit overshadowed by Adam Jones on those teams in the minds of fans re: fan favorites. Much like how it will be difficult for Gunnar to really reach the mountaintop given Adley's centrality to the rebuild.

Yep.

I think the Baltimore fans were very enamored of Manny.  But Adley is more important to the franchise and was more heralded before he arrived.  He was clearly the cornerstone piece from the moment he was drafted.   He was a 1:1 pick, heralded as a generational player and the no. 1 prospect in the sport.  Manny was none of those things.  Fans like you (and many others) were clamoring for Adley’s arrival for nearly a year before it happened.  Meanwhile, Manny was brought up when basically nobody was expecting it.  He was great. People would have had a parade if he’d signed here long term.  But not quite Adley in terms of expectations and potential impact.

Adley with his first career walk-off home run at any level of baseball against the A's today.

 

The A's pitcher should get fined by his teammates for giving Adley a straight 93 mph fastball on the inner half of the plate...lol.

Would you rather...

Adley Rutschman career earnings, or Gunnar Henderson + Grayson Rodriguez career earnings.

Decision Science of Rest wise - I am happy with 13/13 so far.     With two off days next week, I think the Club might get 20+ games along before there is an entire day off.

They don't look like they can do without him even for a minute so far.

They DH him a lot. He is basically our DH 20% of the time. That's a lot rest on the knees. As far as full days off. Should probably shoot for around 8-10 complete days off for the season.

    • the question isn’t about being able to make the offers, it’s about being awarded compensatory picks for more than one.
    • I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.
    • It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.
    • Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.
    • O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted. 
    • No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.
    • The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.
