The Orioles have been a top 5 worst team in sports the last 25 years. Part of that is a series of scandals and other unsavory things like the Albert Belle mess, the Palmerio/Tejada PED debacle, the su

And this thread has ran its course. I’ll let Tony reopen if he sees fit. If not, it’ll get reopened if the Orioles sign him, or it’ll get moved to the MLB section if someone else does.

It is not rare. It happens a lot. I retired from law enforcement last year after 29 years. This is what I experienced. Even more so to celebrities and others who have things to lose.

Do we really know he isn’t that good anymore?  

I think based on the interest from other teams we do.  He has enough evidence of being wrongfully accused that a team that sees talent could bring him in and defend the decision pretty easily.  We aren’t even getting sniffs.  The other possibility is that teams know a lot more about him that we don’t know.

No ones beating down the door to get Wander Franco a second chance. 
 

Bauer was a bit of a loud mouth douchecanoe before this all started. He wasn’t liked already. Harder to come back from something like this when you’re already in the hole.

I think Julio Urias is still unsigned too even though the LA District Attorney decided not to press felony charges.  As a domestic violence second offender, MLB will likely slap him with at least an 80-game suspension the moment a team signs him though.

Franco is still under contract.   If he gets off, he will be back.

This topic has a resemblance to the "Why don't we sign Colin Kaepernick?" threads on the Ravens forums a few years back.

I suspect that there is a negative correlation  between those who support signing one and those that support signing the other. Not a chi-saure of -1.00, but I’d be surprised if it wasn’t around -0.70.

Wait, we’re talking about Bauer and how or if he deserves a second chance. I’m not completely clear on the facts with his case but it appears that the woman involved was a liar. And if that’s true, Bauer still doesn’t seem close to be making a comeback. 
 

Franco’s case seems to be a bit more clear cut. I don’t think anyone’s arguing he didn’t have inappropriate relations with a minor.  It seems to be clear that he did. 
 

So are you arguing that he’ll still make it back somehow?

Nothing like keeping a low profile.  Just my opinion but this guy loves himself.    

 

In his defense this is 2024. Make content. Get views, clicks, sell merchandise, get sponsorships. It’s YouTube/social media 101. Probably why he can play for the league min. 

OJ wrote a book called “If I was the killer…” 😂

A team like the Oakland/Sacrementon/Las Vegas A’s should sign him then trade him at the deadline.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.

      Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By e16bball · Posted

      I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.

      I agree I missed the mark on a correct forum, and ask a moderator to please relocate to Rants as that game annoyed me yesterday. I appreciate the strong moderators here and know I'm not one of them.     Sorry for making it worse at a tough moment.    I won't bump it again, even ironically if we kick their butts in the playoffs.

      Nail hit on head. It really comes down to the offense in the playoffs for us. I think our pitching is good enough overall especially the starters. Shaky sometimes sure, but they can hold their own most of the time. If we don't bring our "A" hitting game in the playoffs we won't go far.

      The bullpen has warts for sure, but if this offense doesn't figure out how to hit good pitching in the playoffs, the bullpen won't matter. Even I got a little excited when they put 5 and 9 up on the board Tues and Wed, and then it crashed back to reality last night when I remembered they were facing Schmidt and Stroman. When facing a real ace like Cole they were completely shut down. What's gonna happen next week when they face Skubal, Reagins, and/or Lugo? The mediocre bullpen won't matter if they can't figure out how to score some runs off pitchers like that...
