To be clear, I don't think he's going to get sent down.  But the reality is he will need to pick up the pace relatively significantly to even get to the Cal bar.  He's on pace for 5 or 6-for-104 right now, with a million K's in there.  Again, not saying that will continue, I highly doubt it does.  I'm just curious HOW bad it would have to get before they'd send him down.

I also don't think he's necessarily shown that he's mastered AAA pitching, as someone else posited. He's hit well there but it wasn't a lot of games, and half the ones from this year were against a team that seems it shouldn't even be in AAA its so bad.  I'd be curious how far his stats would have dropped in AAA if he'd stayed, the way the rest of the guys have evened off.

All of which is to say, he's here, and I am pretty confident he's staying almost regardless, but I am curious where the line for breaching that 'almost' is.

But he's not on pace to go 6-for-104. He's expected to post something like a .800 OPS, so he's on pace to do (whatever he's done so far) and another 70-odd PAs of something much better than that.

They say War never changes but it seems to me they re-calibrate it every few years.

I’d take the under, and I probably would have said that the day he got called up.  ZiPS had him at 2.7 before the season began, and now has him at 2.2 the rest of the way (he’s at -0.2 now, so the upd

If you had a team full of "OK" 3 wins guys you'd do really well. The O's had two position players last season that had 3 fWAR.

Have the same poll up on twitter.

So far, with 79 votes, it’s 51% under , 49% over.

So, OH i more pessimistic so far.

Surprising result to me.

As one who took the under, I'm not surprised that the OH seems to have better judgment than Twitter.

The sky is falling here more than anywhere else when it comes to the Orioles. I'm not surprised either, but I'm not going to pretend that people here are more intelligent.

Knowing Twitter I'm surprised it's not 90-10 under. Isn't purpose of Twitter to convince us that the world has already ended and we're all too stupid to notice?

Correct. OH is largely more intelligent than twitter but there is still the same the sky is falling mentality here and the same over the top reaction when things are going well.

My surprise is that this site is more on the pessimistic side.  I think basically a 50/50 split is more representative of around where I thought it would be.  Right now, it’s 52/48 under with way more votes, so it’s really not much different.

Probably semantics, but I don't think 'expected to' and 'on pace for' mean the same thing in context like this.  That being said, I fully understand what you're saying, and I do think that an .800 OPS as a season-long result is more likely than another 1-40 or whatever and a subsequent demotion.

Well, the winning has drawn a less informed fan base imo, but it's still far superior to Twitter.

I didn’t realize that Holliday putting up less than 3 WAR meant that the sky is falling.

Also, I don’t even use twitter and I know that people here are far more intelligent baseball fans.

  On pace compares the Past, while Expected to compares hope for the Future.  They are not the same thing.

I abstain. I have no idea what fWAR is

Fangraphs WAR.

Dont feel like hearing CoC cry about not asking what WAR are we talking because you didn’t put the little letter in front of it. (Even though fWAR is the only one I discuss)

It's sensible to specify since they are not calculated in the same fashion.

His rWAR is twice as far in the red as his fWAR.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I honestly think there is very little difference in most the teams that made the playoffs.  The most wins was 98 wins and there was 12 teams with 86 wins or more.  It also seems that many of the teams are on the same page with scouting and analytics now hitting wise.  Years back you had moneyball which the A’s used before anyone else.  Then the Astros and few teams started with analytics and seemed to be ahead of the rest of the league but they have caught up now imo.  Now the move seems to be on launch angle and hitting homers by getting the ball in the air but that seems to be across the league.  Obviously some teams have more money and more talented players but the strategy seems about the same.  The main differences I see is in pitching in the playoffs which is bullpen games and using openers rather then a starter to go 7 innings and carry your team to win now a slight sign of trouble they are taking them out.  With all these short inning guys and pitching them in certain pockets we are seeing very little offense and the hitting with runners in scoring position has been awful.  It all comes down to RISP at bats and getting 1 or 2 big base hits in those situations.  We just haven’t been able to get those hits so far in short series.

      And we've seen similar with Kjerstad. Kjerstad might be the best pure hitting prospect in the Orioles system of recent years besides Gunnar. I want to see him playing everyday next year is possible none of this sitting him versus LHP more often than not. These prospects need to get their reps and stop treating them like John Lowenstein and Benny Ayala.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I don’t see Elias trading off prospects anymore at least top guys.  We have moved a few guys in last year and I expect they try to build that back up.  They should have money to use if they want to add talent.

      Blah, well Rob Manfred has to be happy along with Fox network. A Yankees-Mets World Series match up is still on the table and the Dodgers as well if they win tomorrow. I knew the Royals would get jettisoned by the Yankees without too much of a fight.

      For Mountcastle …Maybe Chase Petty and Tristan Smith?

      I’m guessing they ask for Mayo or Basallo of Kjerstad. For me …I’d give them Kjerstad since he’s defensively challenged IMO. Maybe Kjerstad, McDermott, Beavers, and O’Ferrall?

      192 wins in two seasons is a pretty strong argument to stay the course.  That said, I wonder if the young players wouldn't be better off long-term if the scientific matchups took a back seat to the raw talent a little more than we've seen.  Overthinking something can be a thing you know.
