Hey, I passed the Series 7 Exam today. At least that's some sort of victory.

Hey, it was a good season. That's offense is just too hot. We hit a buzzsaw. If they stay this hot they will win it all.

I take the 162 game test over the short series.  It’s baseball and even the best teams can, and will, look bad over a 1-2 week stretch.  The Rangers went 4-16 in late August/September.   Did you see t

Grayson will be fine next year with more experience, Braddish is good, and if Means is healthy that gives us 3 good starters.  I think either Kremer or Wells will make a good bottom of the roatation starter.  If the O's could bring in one stud TOR guy, I think that they will be in pretty good shape next year

If Kremer or Wells are still in the rotation, Elias isn't doing his job IMO

Yep, growing pains...this team was never even supposed to be in this series this year.

Adley is the only young player most likely near his peak. The future is bright, but you never know in baseball things can go wrong and there's always John Angelos lurking in the background to potentially screw up a good thing.

Again, said this during the summer. This team is a lot like the Os teams from 2012 to 2016....minus the stars.  A bunch of role players who had career years.

 

Only real star on this team is GH.  Adley is ok.  Is he better than Weiters?  No.

 

Is anyone else on this team better than  anyone from those teams back then?  No.

 

In fact I think we had better players back then.


The key will be if our young players develop.  And being honest....other than GR?  They are not.

SP is better, hands down.

I was making a sarcastic point. Everyone is ticked off. Im not saying we shouldn’t try to improve the rotation but Kremer hasn’t been bad this year. Just one of those nights. 
 

I wanted an Eovaldi or Bassitt before year. Whole industry is a mess in terms of pitching.

Big....as in a giant cavern...difference between the top teams during the regular season and the playoffs.

I don’t know what your deal is. It sounds like you didn’t enjoy the regular season and were just waiting for the other shoe to drop all year. If that’s the case I sincerely feel sorry for you.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By RZNJ · Posted

      On the spot?  Maybe.   Even at full health, people would have accepted not winning the division because of the pace the Yankees are on.   We have a comfortable lead for the WC so if the Orioles can continue winning at a reasonable pace with Burnes/GRod/Kremer/Irvin/Povich/Suarez.   As far as the playoffs go, there’s only a few starters that inspire confidence in a playoff series that will be available.   Elias isn’t trading Holliday, Basallo, or Mayo.  He just isn’t.   He can get relievers without giving up top prospects.  The question is, can he get someone like Crochet without giving up those top 3?   Crochet, despite innings concerns, gives you a playoff starter plus someone who’ll be here after Burnes is gone. However, Crochet is an A.J. Preller type of move, not an Elias type of move.   If Povich looks the part of a ML starter AND no more starters go down, I could see Elias standing pat on the starters and fortifying the back end of the bullpen.

      If a team that loses a qualifying free agent does not receive revenue sharing and did exceed the luxury-tax salary threshold the previous season, it is awarded a compensatory pick after the fourth round. San Diego Padres Compensation for Josh Hader. The Astros forfeited their second-round pick for signing Hader. San Diego Padres Compensation for Blake Snell. The Giants forfeited their third-round pick for signing Snell. Toronto Blue Jays Compensation for Matt Chapman. The Giants forfeited their second-round pick for signing Chapman.

      If a team that loses a qualifying free agent does not receive revenue sharing and did not exceed the luxury-tax salary threshold the previous season, it is awarded a compensatory pick after Competitive Balance Round B.   Los Angeles Angels Compensation for Shohei Ohtani. The Dodgers forfeited their second- and fifth-round picks for signing Ohtani.

      picks If a team that loses a qualifying free agent is a revenue-sharing recipient and the free agent signs for at least $50 million, the team will be awarded a pick between the first round and Competitive Balance Round A.   Minnesota Twins Compensation for Sonny Gray. The Cardinals forfeited their second-round pick for signing Gray.

      The answer appears to be, yes, you can receive more than one compensation picks. Angels -- Shohei Ohtani: Pick after Competitive Balance Round B Blue Jays -- Matt Chapman: Pick after Round 4 Cubs -- Cody Bellinger: Pick after Competitive Balance Round B Padres -- Blake Snell: Pick after Round 4 Padres -- Josh Hader: Pick after Round 4

      the question isn’t about being able to make the offers, it’s about being awarded compensatory picks for more than one.

      I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.
