Someone get Ben McDonald another fact checker. Earlier he said the Orioles have 21 team SBs, they have 11. He just said the Orioles pitching staff has the most K's in the league, they have the 11th most. 😆

Austin Martin. I remember being upset we didn’t get him in the draft. 
 

What a bust. 

Same here.  There was also someone who was extremely vocal about it here but I don't remember who it was.

No. He is just not any good. He doesn’t have the requisite talent/stuff to be an effective starter.

The numbers from the past 3 years just doesn’t support this assertion. He’s not great but he’s definitely not trash.

Irvin might have allowed a few scary hard contacted batted balls, but he's fighting to hang in there. He got 2 strike outs that inning.

Keep battling!

If you have to “battle” and “fight” against a team who is not even hitting .200, that should tell you all you need to know.

Irvin = no good

Getting lucky which makes up for last outing.

    • I'm lost for words about why Rutschman struggled, other than as I've long said he's a catcher and you're not going to get a MOO monster bat playing 110 games behind the plate- but the overall outcome of the team was within what I thought was reasonable, if a bit on the low end. Regarding the depth, Holliday and Mayo are more talented than Urias, but if we had gotten rid of Urias, Mateo, and Mountcastle to hand them spots, this team would have been worse for it, and maybe not even make the playoffs. Urias is good.  Mountcastle is good.  They're not "everyday" players according to your definition, but we have exactly one of those guys.  That doesn't mean every one else is " not good." I wouldn't be surprised to see all three back next year.  I wouldn't be surprised if they moved on from 2-3 of them.  Though I think the former is far wiser than the latter, though it depends on a lot of other things.
    • My post is coming off the wrong way.  The OP I quoted seemed like you were “lost for words” about why the team struggled the way they did. All I’m saying is I think you are like that because you didn’t see the scenarios where this much of a drop off from last year was going to happen. And btw, the depth (to me at least) wasn’t a good thing.  Depth is good when the players are good. If not, they are just guys blocking better talent.
    • But we have no idea who told her or of the info is good. She has given no reason to believe her. Im sure someone told her something but im not sure she smart enough to be able to tell the difference between good info and bad info.
    • I'm a big fan.  It doesn't mean I have sources in the clubhouse. Do we have any idea who her sources are?  Does she have any kind of track record of having reliable sources?
    • I don't know who this woman is and I don't do Twitter. And this is what I touched on in the other thread: I don't know what the best path forward is b/c I don't know exactly what the problem is. I don't think Hyde needs to go, but if this is true- and I have no idea if it is or not- he should be gone. The talk of veteran leaders brings questions.  What was insufficient of the leadership of Satandaner, Mullins, Burnes, and Kimbrel?  
    • Sig for me is notably rigorous trying to combat this.    I feel pretty sure he had a say in crafting his very geeky title, a reflection of his personal brand. We'll see how it goes here if it becomes recommending Adam Frazier and Kyle Gibson as correct for the roster once again.
