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.

You don't like seeing a random game from 2019 or from the shortened 2020 season with no one in attendance.

Good point about DeCinces needing to get out of Brooks' shadow to reach his full potential. I feel the same about Dennis Martinez's resurgence with the Expos. Martinez needed to get out of Baltimore to get over his alcoholism and get a fresh start elsewhere.

Now Jake Arrieta is a different story. The Orioles obsession at that time with TTTP and altering Arrieta's delivery almost completely ruined him for good until his escape to the Cubs. There's no reason Arrieta shouldn't have succeeded in Baltimore besides poor coaching.

I watched a good chunk of this tonight and...good Lord.  It's like watching a completely different sport in some respects.  The differences were too much to list.

I skipped around but one thing I noticed...right after Earl gives his post game interview at the 3:16.10 mark...is that a very young Cal Ripken Jr. walking across behind Wes Parker for a split second?

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      Povich has better stuff than Matusz.

      Elias: It's on me

      By Orioles West · Posted

      I don’t feel picked on — I didn’t offer much detail regarding the changes I am hoping for. If my initial post didn’t sound like it, I do have more patience (at least a little more) than most. It may take more than a minute to get depth in the bullpen or an offense that can adjust in crunch time. I get that. I’m not in the torches and pitchforks crowd, but the O’s can’t sit on their hands either. That’s closer to where I’m at.

      I kept hoping, for the sake of my own enjoyment, that I'd eventually come around after having to look at it often enough, but, no, I still think it's ugly as sin. And I hate how it plays.

      Yeah, but after he was called back up and changed his pitch mix, in his last 8 starts he had a 9.4 SO/9.

      I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if he changed nothing in terms of strategy.  Look at what he traded recently right handed batters. I feel like it is more important to him to be innovative, and develop players that have been forgotten or have failed in the major leagues than it is to actually win a World Series. Obviously, that’s the end goal of all the things he’s doing, but he wants to do it in a way that looks innovative, and it looks like he knows more about the players that failed and how to fix them than any other person. I honestly believe that is why Hyde has been here so long. He does everything that he’s told and they don’t want to bring in a manager that won’t do that. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a lineup made up for him every day and I also wouldn’t be surprised if the whole game plan was planned out for him. What do you do when and where.. Obviously the numbers mean a lot in baseball and are extremely  helpful but they’re not everything.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      I'll celebrate whoever we get in a high echelon of MLB talent, but unfortunately unpacking this season too soon I think I don't even really want to win the Burnes bidding. Elias will value the next half season of information on Felix, Grayson and Bradish to figure out who goes with Eflin.     The growth he showed this year winning the Burnes and Eflin trade markets adds confidence he'll staff the top of the pitching roster appropriately in July 2025. If he is very risk averse with Kremer, Povich and Suarez, people would flip out but people like Kyle Gibson, Patrick Corbin and Jose Quintana hit me as safe innings he might actually pursue.

      The team's valuation only matters at time of sale. The owner's wealth in an uncapped sport like MLB determines how much the team can spend. Steve Cohen by any metric available has tons more millions to SPEND than Hal Steinbrenner. Steve Cohen has even operated at a deficit over 100 million before which I believe was in 2023. And most importantly he has the WILL to get into the deepest of pools when it comes to FA as he has already shown in his short time owning the Mets.
