The Os have Gunnar for 725k this year. Do you think it would be better business to pay him 25 million dollars when they don’t have to?

So no one is complaining about the Orioles not signing extensions for their young stars? Nowhere?
 

That’s an interesting take

I can’t believe y’all are even engaging with this nonsense.   As to the merits of this move, it looks like an effort at marginal improvement.  Probably a nothingburger, but sometimes these moves

How do you figure that?

The O's traded someone to get him and he doesn't have options.  Both of those are downsides to trying.

Maybe it works out, maybe it doesn't but there are downsides to trying.

He used the same logic that proves there's no such thing as a bad minor league contract.  Literally.

I watched Frank Robinson hit two grand slams in one game. I don’t think you know what it’s like to follow a good team.

 

I know we won a 101 games last year and right now and we are at a 600 percentage but I’m seeing a lot of cracks in the wall and I’m not alone.

Did you say cracks in the wall?   You just need this.

Oh, I’m a troll. Even though I’m at echoing A LOT of Orioles fans. Maybe you need to expand your horizons.

 

there was lots of talk after being swept by the Texas Rangers of how we could improve this team and then I saw the usual cheap signings and desperation signings no extension for our young stars. I think we need to bring the young guys up and I wonder if they’re keeping them down because then they might have to start paying them good money and worry about extensions. Everything I see from the Orioles is cheap. 
 

This team could be on the cusp of being a great team for a long time, but I’m worried about some of the directions.

It's a waste of time, but neither Burnes or Soto were signed, they were traded for.

 

I'm not trying to make excuses for the off-season, but it's probably more difficult for a GM to make signings happen when the team is in the middle of an ownership change. At this point we have to see what the deadline and next off-season brings.

Yes, and I lose track of how they were acquired. Pardon my ignorance a lot of this is decades of watching this franchise and being slightly paranoid.

Pretty funny how people love bragging about our ability to pick up scrap heap relievers and turn them into gems while simultaneously mocking moves like this. Wonder how many people laughed when we picked up Coulombe? It won't work every time, but there's literally no downside to trying. But hey, any excuse to complain right?

I’m the only complainer ever

Well, I’m certainly glad this isn’t considered trolling.🤣

I find it very ironic that this is the thread where people are arguing me that the Orioles aren’t cheap. Look at the players on the thread we’re talking about.😊

 

I feel like they could be doing better. and I’m worried they’re messing with our young prospects because they’re worried about having to pay them.

But it’s OK that I’m paranoid about a kids game that people play and watch for fun. It makes me a really good fan-atic

Thyago Vieira's fastball velocity is above average maybe the Orioles pitching lab can work their magic and turn this guy into an effective bullpen. Worth a shot on a guy who makes the minimum.

Looks like Fujinami's numbers from last season.

I don't want them trying to work magic on someone in the majors on a contending club.

Working magic is for Spring training,  guys in the minors or when the team isn't competitive.

      Agreed, they were trying to preserve Burnes there. The division still hadn't been clinched, so try to win the game but within the rest management plan for your ace. Hopefully the fact they used Cano means there aren't any major concerns about his rest, but now you have to wonder.

      Yeah both Burnes and Hyde said after the game it's because Burnes is going on regular rest to start the first WC game and so he was shortened up a bit.

      You seem to pine for guys in AAA and then (with one notable exception) judge them very harshly if they don’t perform well instantly in the majors.  This is not the time to start experimenting with Young, and that’s no reflection on him at all IMO.

      I agree with the part about Elias. He needs to operate with a little more humility (regarding his bullpen approach) and pivot in the offense regarding how he puts a pen together. He needs to get away from the arrogant thinking in believing that we are always "the smartest guys in the room" and can fix other teams junk/unwanted parts. That is fine to do some time (regardless of how much you spend). But you can't construct an entire pen made of castoffs and almost no guys with elite/power/strikeout stuff. Yes it worked great with Felix, Perez/Lopez in 22', Cano in 23'. But the problem is that we are in '24. And some of those lightening in the bottle guys have reverted back to what their talent says that they are - mediocre. We have a pen full of decent/league average/mediocre arms. That's not what you really want heading into October.

      Also, since there’s another interesting discussion going on here, I think it’s time for Hyde to have an uncomfortable conversation with Adley. I hate everything I’m about to say, because Adley is my favorite Oriole. But we have to acknowledge where we are.  Over the last few months, the only sensible approach with Adley — other than the IL, which apparently he hasn’t been eligible for — has been to keep penciling him into the lineup almost everyday and hoping he figures it out. He has a track record of consistent lifelong excellence, so it’s felt like just a matter of time before he busts the slump and rights the ship.  But he hasn’t. Adley’s line over the last 3 months, almost half a season now, is so bad that it requires a double check to be sure it’s right: .186 / .274 / .278 / .552. A 61 wRC+. And -0.2 fWAR. He has been a below replacement player for 3 months now. He has been the 3rd-worst qualified hitter in baseball over that span, and the 7th-worst overall qualified player. The “qualified” part does make it a little misleading — most of the guys who’ve been this bad have long since been benched. I think you have to consider McCann, at least in Burnes’s starts. He’s been hitting a bit (114 wRC+ since the ASB), and even if he wasn’t on a bit of a heater, his normal baseline is still better than a .552 OPS. If you do continue to play him full-time, you just can’t treat him like he’s *Adley* anymore. You have to treat him like the bad backup catcher he’s been. He has to hit at the bottom of the order. The very bottom. There’s really no reasoned basis upon which you could want to have him get more ABs than guys like Mullins or Urias right now. And you have to PH for him liberally — whichever of Kjerstad/O’Hearn doesn’t start should be looking at Adley’s slot as their most likely opportunity.  As I said, I love Adley. It’s been brutal watching him. But there are 25 other guys on the team who deserve the best shot to win a ring. And that means you can’t just keep stubbornly handing all the ABs to a guy who is desperately lost, on the blind hope that he’ll suddenly find it.

      I didn’t post it in the game thread no, but I’m also not looking for credit. I thought it was a bad move at the time to remove Burnes in the first place, and choosing Cano at that point after he’d been bombed by those exact hitters, felt odd and off to me. The only real defense I could come up with was who if not Cano?  But taking Burnes out is essentially admitting that winning that night wasnt your top priority anyway, so why not also rest Cano, who you absolutely need in the playoffs and has pitched a lot?  I just didn’t get it in real time, and I still don’t.

      I was at a meeting and came out to the Orioles down 1-0. I looked away for what seemed like a minute and it was 5-0, then 7-0. Do we know why Burnes was lifted after just 69 pitches after 5 innings? Was he hurt? Do we know why Cano was brought into the game in the 6th (Have to imagine his adrenaline may not have been as flowing at that stage of the game)?  Obviously the bullpen was pretty horrific last night, but could some of this be because Hyde was using guys who typically are late in game relievers in the 6th inning?
