Here's some off-the-field pics from today's game 3/2. Adam Jones is in the middle of his guest-coaching stint and is having a lot of fun with it; a foul ball almost took his head off and he milke

Awww, Moose, you know I can’t resist a Bat-signal like that! Judging by Rdrs and Rtot, the answer is the Derek Jeter Yankees: -45 Rtot in 1996, -22 in 2000, -20 in 1999.  Only about 8 of the last

2/29: A Walk-Off Win RECAP

McDermott had one of those weird spring training outings where he got pulled with two outs and bases loaded one inning, then got sent out to pitch the following inning.  Keegan Gillies got the O’s out of the bases loaded jam McDermott had left behind, which was largely the result of two walks.  Not the best outing for him, but at least he recovered in his second inning of work.  

I’m enjoying seeing some of our less-heralded minor league pitching prospects like Stallings, Armbruester and now Pham having some multi-inning success in the early going.   Hopefully that jump-starts their minor league seasons this year.

Thanks for these. One thing I am gathering from all of these games in Spring Training so far is just how important defense/feilding is to winning. The Orioles have been better fielders than their opponents so far and it's been showing up in win/loss column.  Looking at the errors of the opponents, it's hard to win when you drop or miss the ball in big situations. On the other hand, if a team plays great defense, they win championships.

A good piece of homework that sounds like it’d be right up @Frobby’s alley would be to figure out the worst defensive World Series winner in the past 30 years and exactly how bad they were.

Judging by Rdrs and Rtot, the answer is the Derek Jeter Yankees: -45 Rtot in 1996, -22 in 2000, -20 in 1999.  Only about 8 of the last 30 teams were below average defensively by these measures, and most of those only slightly.  Those Yankee teams were the three worst.

Gotta like that Derek Jeter lead teams were the worst defensive ones!

All by himself, Jeter was -14 in 1996, -11 in 1999, and -23 in 2000.   So that 2000 team actually was +1 other than Jeter.

Such a joke that Jeter won so many Gold Gloves. He's a good example of why that award is actually mostly an award for offense in disguise.

Yeah, but Jeter was always diving for catches, so he was great on defense!

      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.
