I'm sorry, but you are not a good fit for our community. Good luck elsewhere.

I was against the signing, but for all his shortcomings, the man has come up clutch several times this year and no hit of his was bigger than the one in the 9th yesterday.  I've said earlier in t

At the close of 2022 many of us were saying a TOR SP and some bullpen arms were what we needed.  We didn't need to bring in MI help because we had plenty of shots on goal at 2B and SS.  Elias clearly

Probably?

Do you trust the official measurements?  I don't.

Anyway other data came out saying 3 ballparks.

I have no way of knowing or reason, I think, to be suspicious. In any case, it's great to find out that Frazier has such marvelous bat control that he can bend a pulled fly ball to the post (j/k).

Adam Frazier and Kyle Gibson being the stars of this road trip has Elias feeling pretty good I'd imagine. Both have been great signings so far and integral parts of this early success. With Frazier in particular, it's hard to imagine any of the Norfolk bunch would've been an upgrade to this point. Plenty of baseball left.

Yea but where that ball was hit is not where the pesky pole is. Where that ball was hit is likely where that wall jets out. It’s gets a lot deeper quickly in that corner.

The foul pole in Yankee stadium is listed at 314.  The foul pole at Fenway is listed at 302.   If it hit the foul pole at 314, I’m pretty comfortable in saying it would have been pretty close to the foul pole in Fenway at the 302 mark unless someone can point out the fallacy in my thinking.

Agreed. Hard to imagine any infielder in the minors at any level outplaying Frazier this season. And Frazier has been the best infielder on the MLB club too. Quite simply, he's the best infielder in the organization.

 I think it gets out at Fenway too since like you said, it hit the foul pole.

I do really enjoy watching Frazier's at-bats during this hot streak.  He always seems balanced, and adjusts very well to pitch type, speed, and location; with great bat control.  He's a good complement to other more aggressive hitters in our lineup, and right now I feel better with him up in situations where you need contact.  That being said, it's only 30% of the way through the season so let's not get carried away with the Frazier love just yet.  Let's see where he's at when he cools down; personally I still expect a sub .700 OPS season with mediocre defense.  And don't forget that 94% of MLB hitters hit the ball harder on average than Frazier...that suggests his numbers will come down also.

I assume your last sentence was a joke or an attempt to troll other posters, so I won't address that.  But it's hard to really say if Westburg/Ortiz/Norby would have been able to outplay Frazier this year.  You can't judge Frazier on a hot streak, or judge prospects who haven't been given a chance yet.  Personally, I still would have preferred to save the $8 million and roll with Urias and the prospects at 2B.  Even with the expected rookie adjustment, I doubt there would be a huge dropoff in production over the course of a full year.

      He'll go back to pulling pitches and hit 30 HRs there.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By Ripken · Posted

      I tend to agree with this.  We certainly aren't the best farm system any more and it's time to use Uncle Dave's money some.  I'm in favor of buying the pitching we need.  There are some good FA arms out there.  If there's a bat on another team they want to trade for that's different since the FA position player list isn't good.

      This what I think happens too.  We'll trade from the FV 40ish tier not the 45 or higher tier.  And I can see dealing from the top ofthe deck (i.e. Mounty, Urias, Kremer*...) to build the ceiling of the pipeljne or weaker/thinner positions.  *A Kremer based deal would be predicated on an FA SP signing.  I don't see it happening but it's an interesting case study.

      Trade Target - Jose Quintana

      Maybe he should be a free agent target this offseason.

      Austin Hays Appreciation Thread

      Hays hit .354 / .404 / .537 against LH pitching this season. I would absolutely take him back as a platoon player who can fill in all three OF positions. Given the number of southpaws other teams throw against us we'd be nuts not to consider signing him if he gets DFA'd.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By Warehouse · Posted

      I went and checked how we compared to other playoff teams in platooning and pinch-hitting during the playoffs.  I used the first two wildcard games as the sample to keep it apples to apples with the Orioles’ experience.  For the 8 wildcard teams, I counted the number of line-up changes from game 1 to game 2 and the number of pinch hit PAs and added them together.  For lineup changes, I didn’t consider batting order or positions, only the number of hitters that started game 1 but didn’t start game 2 (only McCann for the Orioles). The Orioles were middle of the pack - 4th highest moves among the 8 wildcard teams. #       Team                Lineup changes Pinch hits PAs Total        T1 Tigers 3 5 8            T1 Astros 1 7 8 3 Mets 1 6 7 4 Orioles 1 5 6 5 Royals 1 4 5 6 Braves 1 2 3 7 Brewers 1 1 2 8 Padres 0 0 0 For some additional context, only the Orioles and Tigers faced different-handed starters the first two games AND had opposing pitcher handedness change at least 5 times in those games. Teams that faced same-hand starter both days: Royals Astros Mets Braves   Number times opposing pitcher handedness changed in game: Astros - 8 Royals - 8 Orioles - 5 Tigers - 5 Mets - 4 Padres - 3 Braves - 2 Brewers - 1

      If Hays is non tendered he will be looking for the team that will play him full time.     And he might find it.   He in not even 30 yet.   But the O's don't have that to offer him.
