Ohtani said the O's had great leadership and were a great team. A 400-page thread about him signing with the O's is imminent. Also, Snell talks like he's just taken 4 huge bong hits.

Congrats to Gunnar, well deserved.

Wine and dine is passe.  What's a good term for a tour of Maryland's top dispensaries?

I wonder just how great Gunnar’s going to be when it’s all said and done.  I kind of see him as a younger Alex Bregman. 

This is an interesting point. If we compare AB in 2017 and GH in 2023 as their first full seasons in the MLB here's what we find. I used BBref. Feel free to look at Fangraphs if you want.

AB 2017. Age 23 season

.284/.352/.475 for an OPS+ = 125; 39 2Bs/5 3Bs/19 Hr for an oWAR = 4.3

132 games at SS, 30 at 3B, 4 at 2B and 2 at DH for a dWAR= 0.2

ALRoY was Aaron Judge, AL pennant Houston, World Series champs = Astros, WS MVP= George Springer

GH 2023. Age 22 season

.255/.325/.489 for an OPS+ = 125; 29 2Bs/ 9 (damn!) 3Bs/ 28 Hrs for an oWAR= 4.8

83 games at SS, 84 games at 3B and 11 games at DH for a dWAR= 2.1

AL RoY = ?  AL pennant = Texas, WS champ= Texas, WS MVP= Seager

I'm hoping GH is a WS champ at age 23.

      A look ahead to the 2025 payroll

      By Rbiggs2525 · Posted

      Yes my mistake I thought those were eligible. They may be eligible after winter meetings. Manfred seems to like the idea of making more picks available for trade.

      Orioles attendance 2024

      By Rbiggs2525 · Posted

      I always compare where we are in attendance to payroll. As it stands our attendance will be 19th in the league and payroll 22nd. The Twins are at 19th with 130 million dollar payroll which is 22 million higher than ours. I expect the Nats and Tigers to spend a little this offseason so that 130 million mark for 19th place may move closer to 140. Still gives this team 50-60 million to spend on either resigning guys or free agents.

      Well, the changes to the flex plans this year led both me ($1200 plan) and my friend ($2500 plan) to not renew for next year. The decision to more severely limit playoff presale access and dramatically reduce the discount on food and drinks at the park just didn’t make it worth it to tie up that much money in advance. So, we’ll likely go to far fewer games next year. Given the press reports and online reaction, I have to think we weren’t alone in our decision making.

      Rivera and Soto are hitting.   Holliday and Mayo are not.

      Holliday could fill the role of pinch runner that Mateo would fill.

      AL playoff picture

      By eddie83 · Posted

      Yeah. I don’t get that either. SEA would win head to head tie with HOU and push HOU into WC race but it’s irrelevant if the loses don’t match.

      Maybe, just maybe, theres a ray of hope

      By maybenxtyr · Posted

      Regardless of how down I've been about their recent play, there's always been some hope. Getting some guys back in time for the post season will definitely help.    The way this team has been built requires a group effort. I mean,  Gunnar is a huge star, but the lineup when healthy can be competitive top to bottom. I'm not knocking NY here, but if you can eliminate Judge(almost impossible), you stand a chance vs them. I'm not implying that they will go on a deep run because we've seen how bad it can be, but simply saying that getting healthy and having a shot is the best we as fans could have hoped for with the way this season has gone.
