This is not talk about the Orioles, this is talk about a ML team.

What, exactly, do you think the problem is?

Go ahead and make an accusation if you have one.

I'd also not call a 92 win pace over a season pedestrian.

It directly impacts the Orioles, so I think it belongs here. I am not making any accusations. I am an anonymous fan on a message board (just like you) saying that there is something fishy about those home and away records.

So something fishy is going on but you are not making any accusations?

Yes, you are.  Saying something fishy is going on is making an accusation.

It's a vague accusation, without a shred of evidence.

It’s very common for top teams to have great home records and good but not great road records.

What evidence do you have that this is unusual compared to prior great teams?

I have no stats, it just strikes me as odd. I have been watching baseball for a long time and it's just odd.

Now saying odd, that isn't an accusation.

What leapt out to me was the 29-7 home record.

Here you go, the 2015 Cardinals went 29-7.

The Rays have a secret arrangement with the Mons Venus club. It doesn't rain at Trop Field but they make it rain at the club. Other team gets tired in the late innings and can't get the balls up.

I thought the OP was going for something related to marine species wit "Something is mightily fishy here." They are the "Rays:

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      No one is trading anything close to that for Crochet. But I agree..spend money, not prospects.

      Trade Target - Jose Quintana

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      That's some high standards.  Sinker ball types are always going to have higher FIPs and lower K rates.  The truth is, Quintana is probably out of our price range.  That price range is probably no more than the standard Lyles/Gibson/Kimbrel/Frazier price range until otherwise seen.   Back to Quintana, I think he's the type of guy that if healthy could be a real weapon for us with our home ballpark and a home playoff game if we ever get deep into a series.

      Austin Hays Appreciation Thread

      That's really the role/opening for next year that we need.  A RHH OF that could play some CF preferably.  Although, I'd lean more to and offensive minded portion of that versus the ability to play CF.  LF is big though at home. I think it's a role that Elias fills through trade, waivers, or maybe even a competition of milb deal types.  Like a RH Sam Hilliard type.

      Yeah, he would be good in the Austin Slater role if he was willing to accept it. Not sure that he would be quite as good defensively in CF, given that he has played fewer than 100 innings total in CF since 2021. I highly doubt that he is ready to accept a role as a platoon player though, given that he is not yet 30, and he was an above average starter by rWAR from 2021-23. I doubt he is tendered a contract, given his $6M 2024 salary. His best bet is probably to sign a one year deal with a team that doesn't hope to compete, to attempt to reestablish himself as an everyday player, while the team that signs him can hope to flip him at the trade deadline.

      I agree. He’d be a great regular season fit in Cinncy’s ballpark. Maybe that confidence of knowing he can hit the ball out to LF at home covers up his other decencies.  As for Crochet… can’t we just resign Burnes?  Crochet would probably cost Holliday, Basallo, and Mayo. Didn’t the deadline teach us the cost of pitching? I’m for trading Mountcastle. I’d hope we can surround the young hitters with a Burnes led staff with adding a vet bat to the DH/1B mix. Other than that, I think we will roll with what we have. And we should.

      Hays will want to start somewhere. He shouldn't start for us. We don't want him sitting on the bench looking dejected while Kjerstad and Cowser are mashing bombs onto Eutaw Street.
