Well, That Sucked

Elias loves him some veteran presence.  Frazier, Odor.  They will go out of their way to use old people whenever they can and not use the future until they have no other choice.  Its just what they do.  They always will fall back on "love the way they turn the double play"  which is code for "yeah they suck but we are using them no matter what".  With Odor you could respect it a little because he knocked Bautista in the mouth and who can not love that?

They only have 4 top 100 guys left. They will run out soon which is their worry if they bring guys up

I would have to know more about the situation to conclusively say whether it’s a bad idea

You could have saved yourself a whole lot of typing.

Baseball Reference doesn't have this game stats yet.  

So coming into today we had a .301 OBP, good for 26th in the league (League avg is .312)

Last year we had .321 OBP good for 15th in the league (League avg was .320).

This year w/ RISP we have a .777 OPS (.319 OBP), (League avg. is 333 OBP)

Last year w/ RISP we had a 837 OPS (OBP .356), (League avg OBP .320)

 

Numbers agree with what the eyes are seeing. Which is that this offense is clearly worse than last year's. What could be the reasons?

I kind of thought this off season that we should of moved Santander and Hays.  Now they have zero trade value.  I think they got too cute by holding on to the vets and giving all the kids the shaft over and over.  Without even hindsight I was wanting to go in a different direction.  The kids need to get their lumps over now so we can see what we have with them.  

If the kids got their lumps and the Orioles had a losing record everyone would be losing their minds here.

At least the fake not swept streak is gone. Who wants to not count the playoffs?

Nah man. The streak is still alive!

We haven't been swept 106 series in a row, not in the playoffs and not against the Cardinals!

Ha.  Haven’t been swept.  Big difference.   I heard Brown say something about a winning series streak against AL East teams.   You’ll be hearing a lot more about that.  I promise.

That made me laugh. I don’t recall what exactly I wrote, but I’m sure it was brilliant, so we’ll leave it at that.

” thanks folks,I’m here all week! remember to tip your waitress, and try the veal!”

    • The answer appears to be, yes, you can receive more than one compensation picks. Angels -- Shohei Ohtani: Pick after Competitive Balance Round B Blue Jays -- Matt Chapman: Pick after Round 4 Cubs -- Cody Bellinger: Pick after Competitive Balance Round B Padres -- Blake Snell: Pick after Round 4 Padres -- Josh Hader: Pick after Round 4
    • the question isn’t about being able to make the offers, it’s about being awarded compensatory picks for more than one.
    • I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.
    • It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.
    • Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.
    • O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted. 
    • No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.
