Any chance we could have Mounty, Mateo, Gunnar and Westburg take home Gold Gloves at the end of this season?

Is there a chance? There's always a chance. It's it going to happen? Nah.

Mountcastle no. That should have been an error today. The others, depends on the competition but yes indeed.

So the one play today eliminated him from GG consideration?  He’s played very very well at first.

Of course there's some chance. There's a microscopic-but-not-zero chance that an asteroid strikes the All Star game and we end up with what was otherwise the 44th-best player in the league as the MVP. And that's not even considering that the 44th-best player in the league sometimes wins the MVP without an asteroid.

You're discounting the multi-million dollar advertising and influence campaign Phillip is setting up right now to ensure his prediction is correct. You're going to see Mountcastle's less-than-stellar play during every ad break on the Bachelorette more often than a David Trone campaign ad.

    • Glad one poseur AL team is out.  I hope CLE wins and knocks the other one out tomorrow. 
    • 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.
    • 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?
