Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I hope you all have a great day with family and friends!

I'm thankful to have a great system to cover and most importantly, a contending major league team that looks to be in the beginning of hopefully a long window of being one.

It does make the discussion more fun when the team is actually good.  I’ll say though that it’s been interesting watching Elias patiently rebuild the team.

Thanks Tony for all you do, and to Chuck and the mods as well.  And thanks to all the posters who contribute their opinions!

I've always felt thankful for the privilege of being a fan of the type of team the Orioles were continually from the mid-1960s to early-1980s. With that undying framework set, I have been able to accept every weak season since and savor the winning ones as a revival of early joys.

I'm spending Thanksgiving alone with my 95-year old father under hospice care in White Marsh. It's been a long 9th inning and he sure as heck is determined to win it in extras. It started in Seoul under Japanese colonial rule, crawled south after his cousins were eradicated by "friendly fire" U.S. bombing during the Korean War, and established home field advantage in 1955 in a Baltimore where immigrant physicians could find steady work and deepen their expertise  auditing seminars at Johns Hopkins.

One afternoon back in 2014 when he saw the Oriole pennants, caps, and t-shirts blossoming all around him in Timonium, he turned to me with a smile and said, "Just like the old days."

      Skubal trade..Kjerstad, Mountcastle, McDermott and Bradfield?

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      Well, you're probably right in that they would ask for more... teams typically do just that.  What I meant to say was that proposal would be the Tigers' final ask.  I disagree that the Tigers would not be agreeable to Mayo and Povich... but understand that it's difficult to have any real idea one way or the other. My guess is Elias would not agree to that, but any deal for Skubal will hurt... a lot.

      If we can trade Kjerstad for a legit SP do it.  If someone wanted Cowser over Kjerstad, do that instead.  Mullins is okay for now but needs to be replaced by next year Hays can stay as a 4th OF, he crushes lefties.    I hope we can sign Santa to a 3 year extension. He's great in clubhouse and a long term Oriole.    The minor league depth in the OF can be used for trades.(Fabian, Beavers, Bradfield)    If we need to use a AAA OF, Daniel Johnson is having a good year and I dont see a ton of drop off between he and Cedric.

      What I am saying is that all pitchers in 2024 are at risk for injury (given the rates of arm injuries in the era of baseball). I would prefer to swing big and shoot for the greatest reward, which IMO Skubal is that. Yes he can break down/wear down (as any pitcher can). But he is also probably the best SP on the market. IF he is able to stay healthy and continue to perform up to his ability, he makes us the WS favorite. Other than maybe Crochet, who does that?

      Cowser is one of the 3 best OFers we have. He should play more than Mullins and Hays.

      Pitching This Week

      From a psychological/mental edge perspective, I like not doing anything special when facing the Yankees. You make no changes and then keep whipping them straight up. Show them they are nobody/nothing special. Let them make more out of this series and keep putting pressure on themselves. We have the mental edge over the "fragile Yankees" right now and I wouldn't want to do anything to give them any belief than anything is/has changed. I loved how they hitter Gunnar last time and we didn't react. We just beat them. And then the next day we destroyed their best starter at the time (who was being talked about as AS starter and early Cy Young candidate).  We don't need to make any special accommodations, changes, or adjustments to beat the Yankees. They are just another team on the schedule/in our way.

      Of course.   But in particular, Cowser’s PT really hasn’t been adjusted much since mid-April, and I think it’s time to do so, though I still want him getting a reasonable amount of time.

      I think Baumeister finishes strong. The life on his pitches looks really good and then he will have a moment where it all falls apart. Seems like a trend with Orioles pitching prospects where they cannot stop the big inning. A walk, error, bloop and grand slam.
