This team oozes with confidence and competitive spirit.  They don't seem to care who they play; they just love to play the game!  Here's to hoping the Astros taking 2 of 3 raises the bar even more!  They have a great mix of stability/maturity/focus and energy/passion.

In my lifetime I've never been more excited for an O's team and window. The McCanns, Fraziers and Gibsons will surely move on as early as this upcoming offseason, only to be replaced with the Joeys and Meansies. The mix of newcomers (Gunnar, Westburg, Cowser), young guys (Adley, Mountcastle, Kremer, Braddish) young veterans (Ced, Hays, Ant, TWells, Meansy) and older vets (Frazier, O'Hearn, Gibson) is a really good roster diversity top to bottom. Gunnar and Westburg have been almost effusive in their praise of Frazier (and McCann) while the young pitchers have been very complimentary of Gibson's veteran leadership, even though he's made an effort to try to not disrupt things and make it about him and his leadership presence/style.

I'm just clarifying your statement of how Frazier has performed worse than what you predicted with the stats that you provided. He's not hitting .266 since the break with one homerun. He's hitting .306 since the break with 3 homeruns. 

That's all, good buddy. 

 

But apparently, that two home run game doesn't count if it doesn't support a narrative about a guy not being good.  🙂

Maybe we can merge them....aren't we trying to get the Frazier thread to 100 pages???

Well, this definitely wasn’t intended as a Frazier thread…

How ‘bout that James McCann .966 OPS?   It really has been refreshing to see him contributing with the bat.  And, his wOBA still trails his xwOBA by 37 points.

Perhaps when clarifying a statement, you should try to read the statement.

The stats I mentioned were if you take away that first 2 HR, 3 hit game. That is what he has done outside of that in the second half.

Regression to the mean. He’s not some great hitter but he’s not a sub 600 OPS guy either. Never as bad as you look in a cold streak and never as good as you look in a hot streak.

The thing about McCann has been the defense. He has been better than Adley.

But he did.

If you take away Mountcastle's 9 RBI game he goes from third on the team in RBI to seventh.

He's overperformed in some respects and underperformed in others.

No he didn’t.

And good for Mounty. I’m not talking about him but feel free to start a thread about that if you want.

Start a thread? We’re talking about second half performances. Which includes both Frazier and Mounty. If you want to just harp on Frazier, there are another dozen threads for that already.

I just pointed out one fact about Frazier’s second half. I didn’t ask everyone else to jump in. If they don’t want this to turn into a Frazier thread, don’t talk about it.

I read it. I was clarifying that his overall stats were actually pretty good, WITH the game that you want to remove, which is all fine and good if that's how you want to look at what he's done in the second half. I'm not advocating for more Frazier, just the opposite in fact and I'm agreeing with you on that.

How about the reverse side? Instead of taking away those three hits from him, let's give him four hits from one of his 0-4 games. In that case, he would be hitting .352 since the break. Or if we just take away one of his 0-4 games, he would be hitting .313 since the break.

Yea but what he did with that game was known, as it was pointed out in the OP.  Which is why I said “and?” To you, as if you were introducing new info.

I wasn’t disputing what the stat said. Just making the point that it is propped up a lot by 1 game.

And that’s fine, you can do that too if it makes you happen. I really don’t care.

      Both under contract for 2025. Assuming they were bring them back.

      Probably more of a function of roster construction, tbh. They had very little injuries last year offensively aside from Mullins a few stretches, Mountcastle to vertigo, and if I recall Austin Hays. This year they obv had many injuries in Westy, Mountcastle, Mateo, and Urias and then had to give ABs to some lackluster hitters for months on end. Maybe that explains things.  I still 100% believe Adley's dropoff was because of his hand being hit against the Rangers. He played through it, though. X-Rays were negative, but looking back...I wonder if giving him appropriate time off for a couple weeks would have been prudent.

      What is the contract status of Dominguez and Soto (pitcher)?  If they are not FA they absolutely should be back.  Need good stuff + numbers out of the BP.

      "Swing for the fences, but we're going to move the fences back 30 feet" seems like a message that contradicts itself, at least for right-handed hitters.

      Where are the pollyannas?

      By foxfield · Posted

      Again, I agree that the approach is not working and I hope it is evaluated and changed.  But if you are seeing what happened as choking, I think you are being small.  These same guys hit well in high pressure situations last year.  They produced a runaway ROY in Gunnar Henderson.  They failed last year in the playoffs because of pitching and lost this year in spite of excellent pitching. A bigger examination is needed.  Santander has a long history of not hitting well in the cooler weather.   It should not be surprising or disappointing that he isn't great in October.  He isn't in March or April or September and really hasn't ever been. Cowser has had little success in high pressure situations and it seems unlikely that all of that is explainable by pitchers knowing how to pitch him.   I am more interested in what happened psychologically to this team that seemed like nothing phased it and produced series wins at home and on the road like a factory pouring out product.  If this team, after all of the injuries it sustained failed because of pitching, we could have at least focused on Elilas not getting enough help. This team failed due to the same reason it has failed since June.  It no longer looks like a good cohesive group.  Hitters seem to be going through the motions, guessing at pitches and flailing away at pitches that good hitters simply don't swing at.   Something changed and it isn't that they became choke artists.  That just makes us feel better to derisively rip these guys who ripped our hearts out.

      Is Pete Alonso a real MOO bat? Would you rather have home than Santander or Mountcastle? How do you feel about Alex Bregman? Rhys Hoskins (has an opt out)? Willy Adames? Christian Walker? I bring up these names because they are all FAs. And I would argue have the potential to help our offense. Help is available if we want it and are willing to actually spend real money. Or we can keep going with the Eloy Jimenez’s and Ryan O’Hearn.

      Snell is my preference. If he can be signed for 4/140 or less, that should be the target.
