Stowers had THREE HR tonight and Heston had TWO!! the Tides lineup is insane...The TIDES won 26-11 over Charlotte..Holliday had 4 hits..he's hitting .400...Norby had 2 hits..he's hitting.435..Kjerstad is hitting .583...Mayo is at .385...Stowers is .400..even Burdick....375...Its very early of course..but I've never seen so many great hitting prospects in one lineup..im excited about the future...I dont know where they will all play, but some of these guys will be keepers..and maybe great ones too...we could have used those hitters early tonight...

As long as you aren't making up stories about being an elite athlete in 6 very different sports, you can post whatever you want.

Just simmer down a bit on the extra periods. 

And ride the high Tide as long as we can. (see, I tried to write a journalist pun)

At least you can spell punctuation.  I had to rely on spell-check like 4 times in my post.

I'm not sure if this is real or one of those fan fiction posts.  I'm going to have to check the box score.  Even before I check the box score, it's obvious some of the best hitters in the Orioles organization are in Norfolk and not Baltimore.  I'm not sure that the results wouldn't be better in Baltimore w Norfolk's hitters up here.

And by that I mean a wholesale swapping of lineups.  There is just too much offensive talent to keep in Norfolk until the trade deadline.

      Elias: It's on me

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I'm afraid I will have to see it to believe it. I have been disappointed way too many times to count.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By Say O! · Posted

      To build off your point, Elias quotes suggest that the intent is for payroll to be higher in 2025 than 2024.  The only way I see that happening is to sign premium SP (or re-sign Burnes).  Simple shortcut math 2025 Eflin offsets 2024 Burnes salary, leaving $25M to fill for 2024 Santander+Kimbrel.  Arb raises and full year Seranthony + Soto may wash to neutral-ish with no Hayes, Means (or at most $5M more in 2025).  Net/net that leaves $20-$25M to stay flat.  So IMO if payroll is to rise year-on-year, it has to be from adding premium pitching (given Santander as QO and leave as FA).

      IMO Goldschmidt and Alonso are not equivalents as players at this point. Goldschmidt is much closer to done and I would stay far away from him. We need at least one good/impactful veteran hitter. Not somebody who used to be good.

      O's target? Roki Sasaki

      They will probably go after Sugano the 35 year old at the end of his career as he is cheaper and no posting fee.

      Still think this team didn't choke under pressure?

      David Ortiz also commanded the strike zone.  He didn't swing at a lot of junk.  He got his pitch or the pitcher made a mistake, he hit it.  Pitchers will let you get yourself out all day if you swing at pitches repeatedly out of the zone.  We need to do a better job of this.

      Elias: It's on me

      By spiritof66 · Posted

      Elias has said that he and his staff are (or will be) making an exhaustive inquiry to identify the sources of this team's underperformance -- which I take to mean not just the playoff defeats, but also the underperformance during the second half of the sentence. Sounds good.  But at the same time, before that investigation has gotten underway, Elias has announced that Hyde will be back next year. I believe many of the criticisms of Hyde's in-game decisions, lack of fire, failure to take action in response to boneheaded baserunning, etc., etc. -- including my own -- have been exaggerated. But Hyde does seem, to me anyway, to have shortcomings as a manager. I really don't know whether any of this team's problems could be alleviated by bringing in a new manager with qualities that Hyde lacks. But if Elias is serious about a top-to-bottom review of the team's weaknesses and ways that those weaknesses might be improved on, shouldn't the manager's stewardship  be among the subjects considered? It appears that Elias intends to scrutinize and look for constructive changes throughout the organization. Except the manager. I don't get it.

      Adley's health this season

      By e16bball · Posted

      So where did it go wrong, if it’s tough to pin it on bad swing decisions?  I still think an injury (or multiple smaller injuries) is possible, if not probable. Evaluating the possibility of a hand injury, here are his Statcast numbers from the two weeks prior to and following that incident on June 27: 2022-2023: 37.8% hard hit rate; 88.2 MPH avg. EV; .353 wOBA 06/12 - 06/26: 43.8% hard hit rate; 89.8 MPH avg. EV; .356 wOBA 06/28 - 07/14: 20.5% hard hit rate; 83.6 MPH avg. EV; .214 wOBA Coming into June 27, Adley was hitting the ball harder than he ever had. He was actually hitting it even harder in the week prior to June 27 than what I showed above. After that ball off his hand, those hard contact numbers instantly fell off, in a pretty dramatic fashion. And they never really came back.  07/14 - 09/30: 30.0% hard hit rate; 86.9 MPH avg. EV; .258 wOBA I don’t think it’s quite proof positive that he was playing with a broken hand or that type of thing. But it’s very suspicious that his performance immediately fell off a cliff after getting hit with that foul ball and really never again returned to anything approaching normal for him.
