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.

      Who sits for Slater in Game One?

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      What do you mean starting for Slater? He is not a starter. The Ragans matchup makes things interesting because he has reverse splits. I don't know the numbers but they need to start the guys with good numbers vs Ragans and/or LHP changeups, whether they are LH or RH.

      Perhaps. I'm just saying he could stop the Chiefs, the Raiders disaster, and the Cowboys debacle certainly gave me pause.  Last night they certainly looked better, but the first 3 games gave me pause. I think we'll know more after a full season.

      Observations at the end of the regular season....

      By Sanity Check · Posted

      1. If the Orioles had signed Jack Flaherty, Seth Lugo and Chris Sale to bolster our pitching staff last off-season, this place would have gone ballistic, and not in a good way. 2.  The Orioles ended the regular season last year flat as a pancake, and it carried into the offseason.  This year, while under the pressure of trying to keep up with the Yankees, the team struggled mightily to find consistent offense and any overall consistency.  Once that pressure waned with us knowing our destiny, guys seemed to loosen up, and we saw the offense come back.  I thought that might happen.  However, my question is, after laying an egg in the playoffs last year and recent struggles despite the last two series, does the pressure of the postseason put us back in the funk we saw throughout most of August and September? 3.  I've seen a consistent theme in this forum over the past week or two which is this:  "All we have to do is get hot at the right time, like Texas did last year."  While I agree that's true, and want us to be that team this year, isn't that statement kind of an admission that without getting hot, we're not good enough on our own merits to persevere in the tournament?  And before I get crucified for saying that, I'll point to what everyone has witnessed in recent months:  Bad/inconsistent bullpen, inconsistent offense, questions about our starting pitching, defensive lapses and being prone to not showing up offensively.  And please, let's not act like some, or all of these, don't exist.   That all being said, Go O's!!!!!  Let's get hot!!

      This Playoff Start From Burnes Defines His Time With the O’s

      By Just Regular · Posted

      All of the October ones will.    Tomorrow good chance to be the least important one if things go any kind of good. Granted ~40% chance it is the only one, but that is short series baseball, not him. I won't have warm feelings if he handles these guys but is bad twice the next series.

      Would be upsetting to start Slater in any playoff game at this point. Even if you think Mullins/Cowser cant hit LHP (news flash Slater cant either)- keep the defense and the guys who "got you there"

      Os vs KC in WC round

      By terpoh · Posted

      If the point was "Skubal is better" you kind of proved that for them. More innings, more K's, less ER, less Walks, less hits, better W/L. Across the board. Ragans is very very very good- but Skubal is better, and the runaway for AL Cy Young. Either is capable of shutting down an offense- and Ragans did just that earlier this year. But we also roughed up Ragans in the other start. No matter who we face, we're going to find things that make it tough, its the playoffs. Lets keep playing good ball and get payback for 2014.
