There are people who STILL think this was me and that Jim Everett wanted to beat me up...the truth is,, that was on the set for my show.  not my show.....but no way would I ever taunt anyone with my phony bravado like Rome did. It was a disgrace then, and a disgrace now. AND ESPN that night was high fiving among executives thinking it was a great promotional moment...it wasnt, and it backfired...Rome called me in tears asking what he should do..I said apologise profusely and dont act like a jerk anymore. He never apologised.

Kind of a rant but why can’t MLB’s App (At Bat) get the magic number correct? Unless I am missing something they have the Rays at 8 games and it should be 7 and the Blue Jays at 1 when they are eliminated. Seems like they don’t include the tiebreaker in their calculation

      Gunnar vs. Coby Mayo at the same place in time

      By jamalshw · Posted

      So what is the real story on his defense? Because if he's playable at 3B, there is a spot for him to play. Mateo has been seeing his numbers slide down of late (notwithstanding the homer and triple this week). And while Urias had that surge, he seems to be trailing off again as well.  Now, if he's just not playable at 3B defensively, that's a different story and we are in a position where he gets the Kjerstad/Stowers treatment with very limited playing time.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By ScGO's · Posted

      Elias has a plan and he's sticking to it. However, the UCL explosions in our arms are definitely his first unforeseen, unplanned bump in the road. A lot of teams are going through this right now. In my opinion, reading the tea leaves, I felt he was trying "catch up" in the early years of the rebuild by going hard after top position talent in the draft. At the same time, he was using trades to catch up on pitching. He wasn't doing a bad job addressing pitching, but in order to "catch up," drafting top positional talent was smart. Someone said it earlier in this thread, its easier to hit on position players and they're less volatile The O's brass were not disregarding their pitching plan, but they were trying also keep pace by introducing better player development, analytics, and tech. They were drafting "sleeper arms" in the later rounds of the draft while also quietly acquiring a lot of depth and talent in the international market. Last years draft was the 1st one that I felt Elias had a focus on drafting better pitching talent. He's a guy that I believe will use his high picks on "best player" available typically, but moving forward, the positional depth allows them to slot more pitchers at the top of their draft list. In a perfect world, Elias has none of these injuries to deal with and we appear as a Mega pitching program bc we have plenty of starter depth at the MLB level. Last years draft, along with a bunch of DSL arms that have started to creep into A-/A+ give us some good lower level depth. Again, w/o the injuries, we can hide the fact that we are VERY thin at the AA/AAA levels. In 2026, the international depth and the recent drafts depth would have probably met in a perfect storm of talent on the MLB roster, and he'd really look like a genius. But losing Bautista, Bradish, Means, Wells to UCL/TJs, and also having Columbe and Kremer miss time with injuries exposes that gap in our system's pitching depth that Elias was hoping to hide for another season or two.

      “And now in late June, it's coming unglued.” Literally right there in your post.

      Do you think AAA in 2024 is the same as it was in 2022?

      Once again, the O’s have done so well over the past few seasons, people forget what it’s like to have a losing streak. The Dodgers lost five in a row earlier this season. It’s doubtful that their fans think the sky is falling.    Nobody likes to lose games but the bright side is, it seems to be at the right time because the Yankees are struggling too.

      Nice to see him hitting well and obviously healthy. Plus he's showing a little extra base pop which was something that was always missing from him in pro ball. Certainly worth keeping an eye on him and seeing how fast they will get him to more age appropriate players in AA.
