Incredible video enhancement.  Thanks.

It really is a great enhancement. I wish they would start doing this to old games and give us an archive. I know there are some on You Tube, but wouldn't it be great to be able to pull up any Orioles game from the past? I'd love to found an amazing game and go back and watch.

Decinces with the Angels accumulated 18.9 bWAR while Disco Dan had 1.2 bWAR. 😲

The Orioles left side of the infield could have been Decinces and Cal for much of the 1980s. In the long run it probably doesn't change much, but maybe Decinces being on the 1982 Orioles pushes the team into the playoffs over the Brewers.

Maybe I was wrong about that what if the Orioles won back-to-back World Series in 1982 and 1983.

It was a terrible trade for sure, but I think they knew they weren't going to be able to afford DeCinces as a free agent. Either way, he needed to get out from under Brooks' shadow since he was his replacement. 

Still, the thought of DeCinces next to Cal would have been nice. Imagine if they were able to afford Grich too. Free Agency killed the Orioles once it really got going, and then their drafting got pretty terrible too.

The Orioles were in the playoffs 6 of 9 years from 1966 to 1973, winning two World Series. From 1977 (when free agency really kicked off), the Orioles made the playoffs in 4 of the next 34 years, winning one World Series in 1983.

It would be nice to watch any of those past games on-demand instead of the rehashed games they play on MASN during a rain delay.  😆

100%. But that would mean someone at MASN cares about their content. Hopefully that will change with Rubenstein.

      Optimal position player roster for second half and playoffs?

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I think we can try and develop Mayo at 3B, and Westburg at 2B, while rotating Mateo in to keep him getting reps, in July and August. Then reevaluate and coalesce for September+. I say throw the best offensive lineup out there and hope whatever defensive loss we have is leveled out by the offensive increase. You can always go back to defense and Mateo. Usually defense and speed doesn’t slump.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      He will no doubt be a BP weapon if that’s what he has to be. The problem is, you aren’t trading for him to throw you 20-30 innings.

      Someone worse than Melanie Newman(hilarious)

      This is an AI generated fake. Of course no professional would be this bad nor would a baseball fan call a home run a 4-base hit.

      So, who WOULD you trade?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Between now and the deadline, I trade Hays and Urias and then add a RH OFer more capable of playing CF.(unless they feel Mateo can be that guy) I make Mountcastle available if it nets me a piece that helps right now (I would trade him in the offseason for pieces that are far away if that’s the best offer). I’d be ok with trading Santander for a similar return thought process as Mounty as well. Im trading any prospect that isn’t amongst our top 4 prospects (Silent J included) but would prefer to not move Liranzo, Arias, Forret, DeLeon and Sosa. I would consider Kjerstad in a Mason Miller or Crochet trade although it would depend what else is in the deal.  I would move Kjerstad for Skubal but not pairing him with any of the other top 3. (I don’t find any of these 3 scenarios all that likely, this my stance of not trading him) Estevez and Nardi (if made available) would be my top 2 BP targets as of today.(meaning, we know those teams are sellers but who else will be?) I would consider Fedde but not overpaying for him. He’s not worth Kjerstad imo and that is what they would want I think. Id consider several of the Marlins starters (medicals pending) and Detmers as well.

      That, my good man, is called being a fan. I did not intend that to rhyme. It just organically happened.

      He was -1 OAA in 229 chances last year and he's -5 OAA in 82 chances this year. Defensive Runs saved (DRS) had him at 3 last year and -4 this year. His FRV has gone from 0 to -4. Here's his OAA in detail. That's a pretty deep fall off in my opinion.  I think these numbers are why they hesitant to move Westburg over full time to 2B and bring up Mayo. They may be concerned that Mayo will be worse than Westburg at 3B and Westburg is certainly worse than Mateo at 2B defensively. So while the team certainly upgrades offensively with Mayo in the lineup, Elias may be hesitant to downgrade defensively at two positions. Now maybe with everyday reps Westburg does better? Maybe Mayo will be just as good or even better than Westburg at 3B? I mean, Mayo has a much better arm than Westburg just more erratic.  It's an interesting dilemma for Elias/Hyde to figure out what's best for the team. Without an injury, or Mateo going into a deep slump at the plate, I don't know if they are willing to allow their defense at two positions be at risk for decline.

      Heston Kjerstad 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      I find it kind of funny how one our prospects will have 2-3 good games and suddenly everyone jumps on the bandwagon.   Kyle Stowers had a .924 OPS as of the end of May and he was briefly everybody’s darling.  Now it’s Kjerstad.   There’s a New Kid in Town! Don’t get me wrong, there’s lots to like about Kjerstad.   It just amuses me the way enthusiasm waxes and wanes based on microsamples.
