Well, i'm officially worried about the second half. The Terps should have a much larger lead but have effectively laid down at times during the 1st half.

It comes down to these last 20 minutes, our tourney chances are on the line. I hope we play like it.

Sick. No killer instinct from these guys. Not that you can win a game in the 1st half of a game but Virginia was sleepwalking through the first ten minutes. They had 8 points with 8 minutes left in the half, we should've been up 20 points. Then to top it off allow them a 11-0 run in a minute in a half by turning the ball over giving a struggling shooting team easy baskets. They certainly had got into a rhythm and had all the momentum at the end of the half. Halftime came at a good time for us, hopefully they don't carry their momentum over from the 1st half and we can get our feet back under us. We certainly blew our chance to have some breathing room but at this point it doesn't matter. 20 minutes left in your season show us what you got.

Watching Maryland this year has been incredibly frustrating....definitely a Jekyll and Hyde team. When they are good, they find a way to win. But when they are bad, it's like watching a bad horror movie. I've never seen a team miss so many easy layups.

The most important game of the year and they are in the process of being blown out.

      Why not market Mateo as a SS to a Contender like the LAD/CLEV for an arm for this season?

      By Il BuonO · Posted

      Lol, those who know me will attest to the fact that I'm the guy who walks outta the house without something I need. Same as not remembering the OP and the premise. 🤣 And we're in agreement there. Mateo is a good piece is and I often think the same with regards to Mullins or Hays. These are not guys around whom to build your team but can be useful in trade packaged with a prospect who is either blocked positionally (Norby) or who they just don't see as productive ML players (Stowers).  And yes, y'all those are suppositions, so save the angry responses, they're just examples. Mullins and Hays are nice role guys and getting older. They can help a contender, but they're never going to headline a deal in the same way Mateo won't.  Agree about Mateo getting on base to have a chance to wreak havoc, but I think especially with Mateo a contender will value his defense, including his versatility and positional value. Maybe a package for a TOR that includes one or more of these pieces packaged with Povich and Norby/Stowers, Basallo? gets the team that guy who DOES move the needle and steps in for the loss of Bradish. For now....another move to solidify the pen probably needs to be addressed.

      Gunnar vs. Coby Mayo at the same place in time

      If Gunnar were in AAA at 22 he would have 30 HRs in 48 games with an OPS of 2.000

      Literally don't care about the walks. Cowser walked a lot - how did his .400+ AAA OBP translate to the majors?  All I want to see is XBH from Holliday. We know he can work a walk on crappy AAA pitching. Once he hits for more consistent power, we'll know he's ready.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      If Elias put his glasses on to see the future, I doubt he'd trade for Burnes knowing 3/5ths of the rotation would need TJS.

      Coby Mayo in AAA this year: 48 games .301/.370/.617/1.048 13 2B, 2 3B, 15 HR 20 BB, 56 K 41 RBI Gunnar Henderson in his AAA career: 65 games .288/.390/.504/.894 13 2B, 4 3B, 11 HR 38 BB, 78 K 38 RBI It's well past time to call Coby up

      I'm not sure if you just don't like him and are being intentional but it's Irvin, not Irwin. Ben McDonald calls him Irving. It's just Irvin.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      This is along the lines of what I was thinking. DeLeon, Bradfield and McDermott are painful to part with but I think you need about 3 prospects that will hurt like that on top of Kjerstad and Norby. And I think the White Sox will want 2 good pitching prospects in that type of deal.  I’d obviously prefer to give up some lesser pitching prospects, but the only pitching prospects I’m not all that fond of and think we could deal as a “sell high” are Johnson and Baumeister. And their value is not high enough to move the needle that much. I’d do that deal you proposed and I think the White Sox do too, or at least they won’t get a better offer than that.  Have Suarez piggyback Crochet, and keep Crochet around 3-4 IP, 50-60 pitches per start until September when you stretch him back out. And maybe you can plug in Povich or Irvin for some spot starts when there aren’t off days to give Crochet 5 days rest when you can, or skip some starts when you can if he needs it.
