Something out super-cheapo owner failed to understand is that by failing to upgrade our roster, it cost him millions of dollars in revenue because it impacted their ability to continue to have more postseason home games. As a result of being cheap, we ended up with cheap ineffective players at the trade deadline. As a result of that, we got swept in the 1st playoff series we even played. As a result of that, no more home games. As a result of that, no more revenue from the season.

It's a total wasted opportunity from a Bussiness standpoint. It takes investment to make money. 

Invest in the best players for areas that the team needs in order to beat the best teams in the playoffs and become World Series Champions. Then the added revenue will more than pay for the investment of the players contract.

You mean invest like the Braves?

Mets?

Padres?

Kremer makes 32 starts, 172.2 IP with a 13-5 record and you think he is ideally the 6th starter?   I think there at least 25 teams that would want him in their rotation including the Orioles.

We need left handers in the starting rotation. Means is one of them, but can he complete a full season healthy? DL Hall could potentially be another, but can he reach his full potential and pitch more

I liked what I saw from Wells out of the bullpen. Given he has now struggled to stay healthy and productive as a starter two years in a row (and is now approaching 30 years old), I think this is his n

The wonder I'd love to know, and of course never will, is how close did Elias/Angelos get to winning the Verlander bid as the Mets melted?

Strategically and tactically, he fit as a 2023 puzzle piece.     I don't know whether the Angelos Sunday Night Baseball phone call was pure artifice or not.

Before any accolades can I think really be given Elias as a top GM in the game, I need to seem him compete and win for something towards the top of the baseball talent pyramid.

2023 trade deadline, 2024 offseason, 2024 trade deadline - its all the same, due diligence for Elias and his talent basket is knowing the cost of any of the World's Best Pitchers (and Juan Soto) and making some decisions.

I won't sweat Opening Day too much as I believe Decision Sciences wants to know between then and July 31, 2024 which Arms suffer catastrophic injuries taking them out of 2024's tournament, and our SP5 temps are fine until then.

In that window you also get data how truly Grayson and Bradish are in the batch of the World's Best Pitchers.

The O's cannot go into next season status quo. Bradish, Means and GRod are a solid trio. Wells is great but will he be able to make it through the entire season in the rotation? Kremer is a great 5th starter IMO, but I'd love to acquire top flight starters to push him into a long man role.   

The O's have the prospects and the payroll room to add pitching. I have no idea what wheels Elias will turn, but my ideal offseason would be adding 2 starters who are at least #2-3 on ANY team, a slam dunk back end reliever, and a proven power bat/run producer. 

A Jagwar can dream. 

Ambitious… no way John Angelos does this. Same as to the talk of signing Blake Snell or Sonny Gray. Way too rich!!
Jordan Montgomery’s market price will also now be out of Os reach. 
 

Nope, the Os will at best add a Gibson replacement and will maybe sign a vet reliever or just do the dumpster diving bullpen signings or trade and hope they can catch magic again. 

Perhaps someone like Lucas Giolito or trying to fix Luis Severino and maybe relief help like Kimbrel or Jordan Hicks.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      Adley is having a down year. I believe he will bounce back.

      Can the O's hit Lugo and Wacha?

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      I admire those of you who have such confidence in this offense. It’s been absolutely terrible for months, other than the last week of the season. It was beyond terrible yesterday- yes Ragans was good but the approach was awful by every hitter. I’ll be thrilled for them to prove me overly pessimistic, but I have zero faith in these bats.  This is at least partially a defense mechanism. I am not ready for the baseball season to be over, and another terribly quick exit from the postseason would just be so dreadful. I don’t need them to win the WS. But winning one GD game would be nice. Not looking forward to six months without baseball.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By waroriole · Posted

      You don’t have to twist yourself into a pretzel to defend Hyde. If Santander’s defense costs us, it means we got to extra innings and pinch running for OHearn was the right call. Also, are you really trying to say that OHearn is so valuable a defender at 1B that we couldn’t stand to lose that glove in extras? I doubt he’s even better than Santander.

      Wieters' bWAR was 13.3 through his first 4 seasons (2009 - 2012).  It ended at 18.3 after his last season in 2020, so he was basically ineffective for the last 8 years of his career. Adley's bWAR is 13.1 through his first 3 seasons. So it isn't like Wieters didn't have a strong start to his career just like Adley did.  I think the concern that folks have is that the rest of Adley's career will play out like the rest of Wieters' career.  It seemed very unlikely halfway through this year, but this has been one hell of a drop-off.   And after Wieters never lived up to expectations, it is definitely a fear that we may be reliving this again.  Let's hope this second half was just an aberration.

      Adley has been in a horrible almost 4 month slump. Before that, he was the WAY BETTER offensive player. But I pose this question: What does it matter if Rutschman turns out to be worse than Wieters? Matt Wieters was drafted almost TWENTY YEARS AGO. No one in this org had anything to do with him being on our roster. HEck none of our current front office was even here for his entire Orioles' career.

      I do feel like Adley is out of shape or at least has gotten more out of shape than usual. That’s part of the reason I think he’s hurt…not working out as much. If he is healthy and the slump is this bad, I’m ok questioning whether or not the new GF(ie the distraction) is part of it. Is he putting everything into the game that he should?
