Lol Bichette is such a bad SS

His range is okay but his arm is one of the most inaccurate arms I've ever seen from a major league infielder.  I'm not sure where he plays if not at SS.  The arm isn't going to play at 3rd, and if he can't make that throw 90 feet from 2nd base he can't play 2nd either.

Watching the commercials of young people painting their walls I realize I am too old for that crap now.  I aint wasting my time or hurting my arm and back to cover up some stains.  LOL

Urias is so graceful playing 3rd base. It's like watching a dance artist perform a masterpiece.

Adley has made what would be some great throws to second if the baserunners were coming from third base,

Amazingly, his dWAR is in the black for his career.

That’s because he’s a SS.  You have to be insanely bad defensively at SS to have a negative dWAR on baseball reference (Derek Jeter). 
 

He had -16 DRS and -15.2 UZR last season.

Just tried to vote for the All-star team on the MLB app.  You know they have the only third base canidate for the Orioles is Urias?  What crap is that.  I wanted to vote for Henderson.  Henderson is not available to pick.  I just exited the dumb thing.   I dont care to vote if I cant vote for Henderson.  How does MLB not know that Urias is the back up?

Gunnar is listed as a DH. You can still vote for him in the DH category.

That's because he's getting a positional adjustment for being at shortstop.  He's at -15.1 runs fielding and +17.5 runs because he's playing short.

 

It's rough for the Jays because if he can't throw on target he can't really move to another position.  If it was range or arm strength he could move to 2nd or 3rd.  So the Jays are kind of stuck with him there.  Maybe they could try him at CF.  Anywhere else and he's probably a bigger negative than he is at short.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By Warehouse · Posted

      On #1: the question is whether all of Mayo, Kjerstad, Cowser, and Holliday have everyday roles or if are some platooned or held back in Norfolk or traded? If they all play everyday, there’s not really a meaty role to offer to a new bat. In the various post-mortems, this seems to be one of the biggest points of differences among posters.  Some want no logjams while others want one or more proven MOO professional hitters and don’t want to rely on Holliday or Mayo. My view is in the middle of the spectrum. I think at least one of Cowser or Mullins needs to sit vs. LHP, so we need a lefty masher capable of playing left field at Camden.  I think we may consider trading Mounty to make room for Mayo.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By interloper · Posted

      I find #8 to be an interesting one. On the one hand, McCann seems well-liked, he brings some toughness and veteran presence, and he actually had his best offensive season since 2020. At 35, you can probably have him for a 1 year deal if you want. And Basallo isn't really that close to coming up and catching just yet. He's a deep 2nd half kind of callup if you need him. And it's not like the free agent backup catcher market is much better than McCann. On the other hand, I have a sour taste in my mouth from game 1 where he couldn't make contact with men on base. Adley certainly didn't get any better under his wise tutelage. And maybe there are guys out there who surpass McCann defensively and bring a different wrinkle to the clubhouse. So I wouldn't be mad about a change.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By RVAOsFan · Posted

      This is my thought process regarding the pitching staff next season, ideally we resign Burnes but if not another TOR like Snell or Fried need to be signed this offseason.  Eflin GRod and Kremer are a really solid 2,3,4 the 5 spot is open to competition but realistically there will probably be some injuries or fatigue that require all of these guys contributing.

      By Warehouse · Posted

      1. Where on the spectrum should Elias anchor between “let the kids play” vs. “sign proven bats”? 2. How do we get a right-handed bat to come here given Walltimore? 3. How many years do you think we should be willing to commit to a starting pitcher?  Where do you expect Elias to fall? 4. Between vets, rookies, and prospects, who can we trade / should we trade / do we trade for pitching or a bat? 5. What budget will ownership give to Elias? To what extent will he max out on his constraint? 6. What coaching and front-office personnel changes should/will we make? What about infrastructure or changes to org philosophies? 7. Whom, if anyone, should we try to extend, considering their agent and what they will likely demand financially?  8. For backup catcher, do we re-up McCann or go in a different direction? 9. Does it make sense to sign a blue chip reliever given the spotty track record of those signings (e.g., of 25 relievers signing for > $3MM last year, 2 had WAR of at least 0.5 in both fWAR and bWAR)? 10. Does Elias make any outside-the-box moves  (e.g., convert Akin to SP, sign a FA infielder, move JH to CF, find the next Suarez)?

      Hope to take my kids but it will depend on the ticket prices.  I couldn’t believe how expensive the tickets were when they were in DC
