If his prime is 40- 60 home runs with a .400 on base, there would be a gradual decline (you would think) not this. Where he is a liability in their lineup.

Well I hope this is what he is now but you’re right that it’s probably not.  Not everyone declines gradually, though.  Some guys fall off a cliff.  Albert Pujols did.

I don't care about being wrong on here.  I also really don't care when others are wrong on here, either.  Kinda fun every once in awhile to point it out to bust some balls but this seems exhausting, especially when your chosen target would never concede to being wrong in the first place.

Glad to see you keeping a high pettiness level though.

I know it won’t be a good topic but I think Henderson could use a game off Saturday or Sunday vs LHP too.

Now that you mention he hasn't really gotten any rest that I remember. Seems like everyone else has but him.

Might be a good idea, considering the way he's gone from hot to cold lately.

Do you mean Chris Davis or Prince Fielder?

Perez coming in for the 9th.

Brandon Hyde is not messing around. He's going for the jugular.

Um, I like Cionel but how is that going for the jugular exactly?

Cowser wouldn't be able to hit right now if you gave him the wood version of one of those little kid fat red bats.

Is this just his timing going off… a slump? Or is the league exploiting something?

He absolutely could use one. Cowser too. I think we may see McKenna get a start this weekend in LF.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      The Orioles have a single regular reliever with an ERA under 3, and that's Coulombe and he's only been back less than a week. Last year they had 4: Bautista, Cano, and Coulombe. Name 2023 ERA 2024 ERA DIFF Yennier Cano 2.11 3.2 1.09 Cionel Perez 3.54 4.61 1.07 Danny Coulombe 2.81 2.2 -0.61 Jacob Webb 3.27 3.15 -0.12 Bryan Baker 3.6 5.01 1.41 Those are some pretty big dropoffs for Cano, Perez. And while Baker isn't a regular, he's certainly been abysmal aside from like a 3-4 week stretch. But it's not just a regression for Cano and Perez, but we also need to look at the guys masquerading/masqueraded as a closer this year in Kimbrel and Seranthony. Kimbrel had a 5.33 ERA, Seranthony with a 3.43. Between the 2 of them, that's nearly 3x worse performance than Bautista. Bowman has been serviceable, but imploded recently. Soto has been awesome for a spell, but he's had periods where things looked really off. The bullpen is absolutely the Achilles heel of this club. Their collective ERA is 4.26 this season. The Royals had the worst in the AL bullpens up until the O's imploded yet again last night. The Royals bullpen ERA is 4.21, btw. It is a major concern going into the playoffs.

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      By Wavetrapper · Posted

      I thought about Rivera,  but I figured his ability to play two positions would keep him around.    It will be interesting to see what they decide.     One of the non-pitchers will need to be left off as I understand it.     13 max

      By SteveA · Posted

      I think there's room to keep both.   Shed some bad bullpen arms like Baker and Bowman.   Either Rivera or Gregory Soto can go.   So even if you add McDermott you can keep both Slater and Kjerstad.

      Good information.  I would agree for sure if it was a one game series.  Assuming the series goes 3 games, would you keep Slater over Kjerstad?     I guess if we are prioritizing RH bats, then I’d drop Holliday.

      We’re onto Minnesota

      By SteveA · Posted

      Look at who you replying to, it's his thing.   Means nothing, adds absolutely nothing to the discussion.   Put him on your ignore list.   2-1 so far They made the playoffs They won that night and clinched a playoff spot

      Understood. My comment was 100% above vibes. They went 2-4 over their last six and lost 3 of 4 to Seattle to drop out of the division and into the wildcard spot. It wasn't a months long limp like the Orioles, but that--at least in my book--counts as limping in. They had no apparent "momentum" going in, but still turned it around. That was the point.
