I'm suggesting that instead of Chapman they could have traded less trade capital for someone like Fuji.

 

And probably not won the WS....

Give up quality to get quality.

That’s a fair point.

They hit more HRs yesterday than the O's all season.

Against pitchers who didn't make their big league clubs.

There has to be some consideration of that.

He’s 100 percentile in sprint speed…literally the fastest player in the game. 

I was wondering if he was, but I didn't want to make some hyperbolic claim without actually knowing for sure. And thankfully Kevin Brown answered the question in my head when he said only Elly De La Cruz is faster.

This sure aint the Burnes we saw on OD...I still think the Mateo miscues really hurt Burnes...so many extra pitches...so many high stress situation..

Just missing a diving catch is hardly a ‘miscue’. Though I agree Mullins probably would have caught it.

Shoulda just let this be a rain out lol

I have a feeling that when we get to the last week of the season (where the schedule alignment was to make this game up), we'll be glad that we have the extra day off, and that we played this game in the first week of April instead.

    • At least Turner, Realmuto & Marsh are all out. Not that they've missed them much.
    • Yeah Mayo is probably the next difference maker in terms of RHB.
    • Whether they have hit recently or not I don't know what else we would expect against a LHP. It kinda sucks that Mateo-Urias and Cowser-Mullins-Stowers are samehanded. If we wanted another RHB in the lineup you could put Mateo in center and then start Urias but I'm guessing he would not be a difference maker for you. 
    • CoC made no assertion of any of that, so just stop. Here is his post in the 'Cal thinks Holiday moved to fast through the system', which was a response to me saying Holiday needed to physically mature some. CoC - 'At 6 feet and 195 pounds, Holliday’s maximum lift on the bench press has jumped to 315 pounds. He can squat 455 pounds, deadlift 500 pounds and box jump 55 inches — more than 4 1/2 feet.' He got that from this article, which he linked: https://www.baltimoresun.com/2024/02/20/orioles-jackson-holliday-offseason-training-program/ Here is the thread, my post and CoC's are on the first page.      
    • He looks at every lineup like that. He's been amazing.
    • Again, I never said that.  Quite the opposite.  Being too muscle bound can slow down a swing and running, plus make it harder to throw etc.  I think JH is fine as far as his build.  He will grow into his man body soon enough but in no way do I think JH should get muscle bound nor do I think you need to be to play baseball. Can of Corn implied that by talking about JH's huge, and again wrong, lifting numbers.....I did not. 
    • I wouldn't trade Hollidy, Mayo, or Basallo for Crochet, but would definitely try to come up with a package around Kjerstad.  There is no doubt that Crochet is one of the top 10 arms in mlb, IMO, and  trading him is just a WS kind of thing to do.  Crochet could be that dominant arm out of the pen the O's need this year, and next year, the O's big 3 would be Bradish, Crochet and Gray Rod.  Maybe something like Kjerstad, Povich, some prospect in 20-25 range.  Crochet has probably been the best starter in the majors since some bad starts in early April.  ERA in low 1's since then.
