He has been through a lot of losing and he deserves this. He gets a lot of bs thrown his way by a lot of uneducated people on social media but he has been great for this team. Im glad management

Agree 100%.  He’s a good dude.  You can tell the players love him.  I don’t agree with every move he makes, but he’s done a great job of keeping the entire roster involved.   And the clubhouse culture

He's a great manager.  I agree, I'm happy for him, too.  Been a long road, he deserves to be here.

The moves people scratch their heads over are the same exact moves Buck and the same ones most managers make.

They play what they believe to be percentage baseball. It’s why there is so little difference between the best and worst in game managers when it comes to run differential decision making wise.

The difference for these managers is what they do behind the scenes. That’s your difference maker.

Yep, tremendous achievement to have these guys in the playoffs and on the cusp of the division and 100+ wins. This is going to go down as one of the great O's teams in history and he has  been a big part of it. Regardless of what you think of his moves he usually has a reason. Every post game you can just feel the pride growing. Should absolutely get Manager of the Year and I hope he sticks in Baltimore for a long time.

And by the way, although it didn't work out when he challenged Lopez with high leverage, he did the same for Hall and got a great result. That not only led directly to the win, it should be a big boost to Hall's confidence.

I thought he might pinch run Mateo for Frazier when he got that 2 out bloop, but as it turned out that would not have helped and would have both cost our runner and the guy who got the thing hit. So he did a lot right in this game.

Biggest mystery: what did he say to Hall during that mound visit? (I believe before Arozarena?) I can't recall ever seeing Hyde come out personally if not for a pitching change.

I assume he said to keep the ball off the plate and not throw him a strike unless Arozerana chased and he got ahead in the count and if they got behind they would walk him.   Hall then missed his spot by about 3 feet and hit the inside corner while Adley was setting outside off the plate.  Then missed his spot on fastball that he chased so got up 0-2 on him and went after him since he got two strikes on him to get out.

Yes, figured it was something along the lines of "don't give him anything to hit". Also could have been pitch sequence, which started with the change up that fortunately froze Randy despite landing in the zone.

      What about Tomoyuki Sugano for 2025?

      I'm certainly not "fixated" on this. The real issue is the budget. How high will Rubenstein be willing to grow the payroll?

      I have no idea what you are arguing.

      Cool, nice work there.   So? Are we owed a large market? Does DC not deserve their own team? Should the fans of Baltimore just become Redskins fans and not tried to get their own team when the Colts left?  (sorry to bring up football again but come on, that fits). I laid it all out a couple months ago, MLB has more teams bringing home the hunk of metal than other sports since 2000.  The competitive balance is fine.  It's harder?  Yea?  OK it's harder.

      The Cowboys have an owner with deep pockets. I agree 100% … There is some cap manipulation that happens. At the end of the day they have a $255 million limit they are required to operate under. The Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox, etc can decide each year how much they want to add to the luxury tax fund as opposed to not being able to fit a potential move under the cap. Here are the 2024 payrolls for the NFL and MLB   https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2024/04/03/mlb-team-payrolls-2024-highest-lowest-mets/73139425007/ Highest $305 million vs $60 million  https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cap/_/year/2024/sort/cap_maximum_space Highest $259.5 million vs $217 million these numbers will likely get tighter once they make additions before the trade deadline.  If you can’t see the difference I’m just wasting my time. The biggest driving force in MLB beyond the ability of some to spend lavishly is the tv markets. The club controls so much of their tv revenue that it’s an unfair game. The moved that created the Orioles didn’t have much of an effect on the Senators tv market which was likely nonexistent then. Plus MLB is allowing contract manipulation like Othani’s contract. Instead of $700 divided by length 10 years, Somehow he only counts as like $46 million which is laughable. Plus they are paying $85 million in luxury tax fees in 2024.    The Orioles were a large market team when the Expos moved to DC. They could afford to spend with the Yankees, Red Sox , and Blue Jays. Could the Orioles afford to pay $85 million in luxury tax fees? Could the Yankees? I know the answer to both.  What grounds ? Who cares ? The impact was astronomical …It made it very difficult to compete in the AL East without tank a thon! It split their tv market in half. Obviously MLB papered over that long enough to get an agreement done.    They turned a large market team into 2 small/mid market teams. The Orioles and Nationals payrolls combined place them only 11th in baseball. Obviously they could afford to spend more. But it’s doubtful either will ever be top 10 for more than a season  or two as they try to hang onto a window.
