I thought Stowers was a stud.  I really did.  Now, it's not so much.

I still think he can be a 25 HR bat. That will come with a low average and not great OBP but there's still some value in having a guy like that around. I don't know if that chance will come in Baltimore though.

The problem with that stat is that the first month really helps it. They were 11th in May and 22nd so far in June. There is also the idea that many of the regulars have a (recent) history of not

So I disagree pretty strongly with this. I understand the stat you used, but in my opinion you have to look at this from the position of what the team is and the resources it has. For me, the most res

Nothing is really the problem.  All though this board things the sky is falling we still have the 3rd  best record in baseball and are on pace to win 100 games.  There are still some areas that we can

Who is the arbiter of what a convincing argument is? I do not think that Moose Milligan on Orioles Hangout has an opinion that amounts to a hill of beans. What do I care?

Well we're on a public forum where we sit around and debate various things all day, you can't seem to sway anyone to agree with you.  

So it's not just me, hombre.

But I get the frustration of making statements and being called out on them and being upset once I realized that they were indefensible.  I was 16 once, too.

Dude why don't you just enjoy the games and let people enjoy the games too without worrying about always being right. I just picked up a new 65 inch 4k UHD Roku TV on black Friday in anticipation for the liftoff season. I highly recommend. Mounted it to my wall too.

Dudeman, I'm enjoying the games just fine.  And I'm not always worried about being right, that's @Sports Guy's realm.

Enjoy your TV, I hope the data that you found in the instruction manual to mount it to your wall was followed accurately.

The offense really misses Mullins. Even with Hicks providing some spark, we’re still going to need other guys to pick up some slack. Hopefully, after the Super Two date passes, we call up Westburg and Cowser. Lester and McKenna would be the two to go down.
 

I like our guys. We’re a young team that is going to improve with more experience.

I think both need to improve.  The offense has been solid this season but has been stalling a bit lately.  The pitching has had ups and downs, but numbers don’t lie and they’re below average overall.  So, I’d like to see improvements in both areas.  

I agree both need improvement when we look at how we have played vs some of the better teams lately. 

Elias has until the deadline to see if Irvin, GRod, Hall and Vespi can help the pitching.  Like wise whether Cowser, Westburg, Ortiz can help the offense.  Of course Mullins return will help.   We may not know about Mean until after the deadline.

If I had to guess I think Elias will be looking for relievers.   Tate and Givens not doing what they were supposed to do looks like a problem with reliever depth.

I didn't read the manual. I got my toolbox, found the studs and mounted that sucker up myself.

Hicks has completely covered the loss of Mullins.  I hope it continues. I didn't see that coming.

No brainer, we're 8th in all baseball in runs scored.  That is the offensive stat that matters. Sure we can always find more upside but so could the 22 teams below us.  

Our pitching has to improve.  

 

 

We are 14th in runs score since the beginning of May, 17th since May 15th. The offense can't ignored.

I can see why you would go from thinking he’s a stud to thinking he won’t be much. I mean, he did have like 30 bad at bats, so clearly you should jump off your evaluations considering how large that sample size is.

      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

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      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.

      Austin Hays Appreciation Thread

      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.
