Angels lost 12-0 tonight.   They had 1 hit vs Scherzer+bullpen.

Now 2 under .500.   And Ohtani is skipping his next start due to arm fatigue.

What a monumentally bad decision to not deal him.

It clearly was but that org is a huge dumpster fire.  I feel very bad for those two all world stars but I don't like their Owner/FO at all.

He was earlier.   But I believe he has been released.  He actually batted as high as 5th a few times.

Nelson Cruz was there too, and he also has been released.

Nelson Cruz!? Wow! Did not know that. 😂 Thought he retired.

You know Ohtani has said he wants to go to a team with a chance to win.  Out of all the big market teams the Dodgers look like the best bets.  Maybe Toronto or SF or Seattle.  

Both NY teams are a mess right now.  

If he really wanted to win the Orioles would actually not be an insane choice but we would never pay up the money needed.

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      I have no idea why any team would want more than 1 philosophy across the board, especially a young team. Possibly a player's demands or contract calls for his own hitting coach.. but I stand by my wish.

      At cost considerations there is 2 players i'd rather have listed in that article over Crochet, Helsley leading that. Also Mountcastle to the Reds for a SP makes a lot of sense also.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Guilty. I'm working to be intentional to enjoy the day to day of a lot of exciting careers beginning, and not miss the moment as during say Peyton Manning's career in a different chapter of life when assured 14-2 or 13-3 seasons were four months of boredom while you waited to see what the playoff stumble would be this time.    SIGBOT's stuff works in the regular season same as Billy Beane's didn't in the playoffs. I don't follow Over/Unders, but would guess the 2025 Orioles are 1st or 2nd in the AL on early action.    My informal AL power rankings end of 2024: 1. A nonexistent Orioles team with a functional Adley Rutschman 2. Yankees with Soto 3. Tie between actual Orioles with broken Adley and end stage Astros that lost several series to hot Central teams 4. Yankees without Soto 5. Central I'm cheating Cleveland there for a joke, and hope they win, which they are plenty capable of doing.    It is an interesting matchup for the stuff the two teams are good at being very different.

      I don't see the O's trading Mullins without getting a replacement for him from somewhere.  It's doubtful we have anyone in the minors yet ready to step in for him.  Maybe the same for Urias since he's the perfect backup infielder.  I think Mateo and Mountcastle are more likely to be traded.

      You mean like how the Os dealt guys like Hays, Stowers and Norby?  Yea, guys who are good depth but guys we can stand to trade are guys I want to trade….and obviously Elias feels similarly. These guys carry value. The level of value depends on the player and you can debate the value of return but yes, you absolutely should trade out of depth and trade guys that perhaps that don’t match your team philosophies.  That’s what teams do.

      Who knows.  Lots of possibilities. There could be another trade like the Hays trade.  Or maybe you can get a ML ready arm that profiles as a high end reliever. I don’t think that you will get a proven lock down guy but that doesn’t mean you can’t get someone that will end up a big contributor.
