I had a lot of confidence that even if he got out, Frazier would get the runner in from 3rd.

I don't know when the last time I felt that confident about an Oriole getting a runner in from 3rd with one out.  A long, long time.

And he did.

Eddie Murray?

To be honest @Moose Milligan I would be good with Alcantara. But I think that would be asking a little too much. Don't want to get greedy...lol

A guy like Lance Lynn would be interesting.  He’d probably cost nothing prospect-wise because the results haven’t been there this year and he’s making a decent amount of money.  The peripherals look good besides the homers.  Seems like he still has something in the tank.

Had to laugh at Stowers calling for that fly ball.  There wasn't another fielder within 60 feet of him.  I don't know who he thought he was calling off.

Remember how violently Bud Norris used to point up in the air on every fly ball or popup.  I know the pitcher usually does that, but Bud really put effort into it.  We get it Bud, it's a shallow fly ball.

I  don't want to clog up the game thread with this type of discussion, but why would that be a concern in terms of giving up prospects? We are loaded, have more than anyone else, and have redundancy. 

Lance Lynn is no better than what we have now and in all likelihood actually worse.

    • In terms of energy?   e = 1/2 mv^2 football: 60 mph -> 26.8 m/s, 14.5 oz = .411 kg.  1/2 * (26.8^2) * .411 = 147.5 joules. baseball: 102 mph -> 45.59 m/s, 5 oz = .142 kg.  1/2 * (45.59^2) * .142 = 147.5 joules.   I don't think they're 100% equivalent - I think the higher raw speed on the arm of a 102 mph pitch introduces more stress on the arm than a 60 mph football throw.  But they're not that far off.
    • There is no chance that over 60 mph for a QB is the equivalent of 102.  QBs do not train for velocity like pitchers do. 
    • I would prefer they ask for Jon Gray in spite of the Orioles destroying him in his last start - he wouldn't have to face the Orioles lineup again.
    • He makes $43 million this year. The Mets are paying $21 million of that. I don’t think we pick up the remaining $10+ post deadline for 10-12 starts. It would just depend on what Texas would ask for to pick up the tab. 
    • Haynie on 105.7, has been beating the Luis Robert drum for months on the O’s pre game show. So I think that’s why people like the idea of Robert. Robert also is always hurt.  We need a bat. Probably a RH bat to DH in the playoffs versus a LH SP. That bat is Mayo. It’s just hard to get Mayo up before September when we get the extra roster spot. 
    • Holliday went 1 for 2 with 3 walks on Friday night. 2024: .444 OBP, .911 OPS MiLB Career: .447 OBP, .931 OPS His OBP is EXACTLY what this O's team needs, would fill a key offensive weakness at 2nd base, help grind opposing pitching, and magnify the power up and down the lineup.  It's all dependent on his ability to throw and play 2B at a passable level. If Holliday starts to hit at the ML level, the question of who bats leadoff is over for the foreseeable future and we can go back to complaining about 1 slumping hitter or backup catcher at the bottom of the lineup.
    • This. We literally have no lineup holes right now, and Mayo, Norby, Jax lurk. Any trade discussion should center around the four most essential and crucial elements to O's success for the balance of the regular season and playoffs: 1. pitching 2. pitching 3. pitching 4. damn, forgot the 4th one. oh yeah, its pitching.
