WOW! Oscar Peterson...you are a man of great taste!

Reminds me of my dad. He would come home from work and put Oscar Peterson or Bill Evans or Stan Kenton on the turntable. I'd sit with him while he read the Baltimore Evening Sun. Makes me smile and tear up all at the same time.

Starting pitching is great, no upgrades needed.

Upgrade the starting pitching and then what? The offense will still be anemic and the bullpen will still only have two and a half guys.

Bring up the prospects, see which ones are going to be contributors on a contending team, then look at your rotation and see what needs to be done.

Offense is at least average but missing Mullins hurts.  You can't have your 1B as one of your worst hitters.

Exactly. Look at what the Giants did. Yes it was due to injury but most of this lineup might as well be injured.

Not able to watch the game tonight but Burnes has been one of the top starters in baseball the last few years.

How many more games are we gonna use that excuse? If this is a playoff team they are going to have to figure out some of these top starters.

I can't back this up with statistics since I'm not sure they exist, but the variance with our runs scored feels high. There are many games like this one where they go long stretches without doing anything.

I would not trust this lineup in the playoffs. In which case, why would we upgrade the starting pitching mid-season by offloading the only assets we have as an organization?

Sure you can.

2019 Nationals ran Matt Adams out there, 86 OPS+.  Only starter that was lower was the catcher.

But hey, lets find a way to blame one player for everything, even if it's clearly not accurate.  (BTW that was the  first WS winning team I checked for a weak batting 1B)

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      This posts wreaks of someone who has no idea what the cost of relievers are nowadays. Which is, of course, no surprise that you aren’t informed. Now that said, I don’t have an issue if you take someone out..I asked that very question. Who do you take out or what do you not acquire in favor of keeping Suarez?

      You always have room for another high leverage guy.  And Akin has an option left according to FG.

      Yea.  I feel the same way.  I really do not care strongly one way or another.  Sure, I think it's kind of ugly.  I also think HR's came pretty cheap before.  I like the exciting defensive plays it fosters and of course the random triple & odd carom make for some fun and unique moments.  But I don't think it helps or hurts the team in any substantial way short of helping out the pitching a little.   I sure don't think the players are changing their approaches.  If they keep it as is, that's fine with me.  If they modify it some way, that's fine with me as well.  It does seem like there is some opportunity for some unique seats down there by modifying it slightly.  When I first saw it, it almost appeared like a construction Phase 1.  That might be reasoning for pushing it back so far, allows them some flexibility in the future.   I also don't buy that a Free Agent RH hitter is going to care at all about the wall.   They are getting paid regardless.  I'd think that 1-maximizing payday 2-playing for a winner 3-finding a location that suits your family would be your priorities and your long-term stat line would be very close to the bottom of your list of concerns.

      Any updates on the renovations to OPACY?

      By SteveA · Posted

      Yeah but if you think most of this money is going to upgrade things that are wrong or need improving, such as the ones @accinfo lists, I think you'll be disappointed.   They will be for new features, each one designed to create revenue via premium seating or premium "experience" areas or attractions that bring non baseball fans to the park to spend or sports betting related things. I'm not saying they won't fix some basic things that need it like upgrading the sound system or improving the point of sale technology.   I'm sure they will.   But the focus is going to be on the new attractions which are all designed with revenue enhancement in mind.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      I’m not a lawyer … perhaps @Frobbymight know. Loss of income, future revenues? Damage to their franchise….Even with MASN the Orioles lost a ton on annual tv revenues

      2024 Week 5: Ravens @ Bengals

      By Aglets · Posted

      Congrats to the offense on playing a heck of a game. Lamar was incredible to watch, especially the play when the snap ended up on the ground and he had to run away towards the sideline and still found Likely for the score. It's very frustrating to me that the offense HAD to play so well because of the poor coaching and abysmal defensive play.  It's odd to me that Harbaugh still messes up timeout usage after being a coach in the league for over 15 years.
