OK I'll get on it--thanks for letting me know. Sorry. If you want to discuss it more on LinkedIn, I've included my profile below.

Are you frustrated about winning 101 games last year or every 2 out of 3 we are winning this year?  They sell little blue pills for your frustrations.  Just check out all the commercials during the br

Those people who are actually on topic are talking as though the offense has been terrible lately, but that’s really not the case.   In May, the O’s are 10th in MLB in runs/game at 4.33 runs per game.

If Ortiz was still here we wouldn't have Burnes. I'm glad that we made the swap. We are 14 games over .500 I think our teams is plenty good enough without Ortiz.

I don't think they were saying otherwise.

Ok, maybe I misread?

I thought the person was Ortiz is hitting well with the Brewers and that we should have kept him. And that our guys aren't hitting and we need to bench some of our regulars and bring some minor leaguers up to take their place.

Hays is showing signs and Mountcastle has had a couple good games and seems to have cut down on the chases out of the zone.  These guys still have decent track records that have had a rough month but you don’t just throw everything away.  Urias is the one guy I think could be replaced but there isn’t any infielders that seem ready with Holiday still working on things and Mayo hurt. Norby seems to be considered an outfielder at this point.

Nope

Bring up the young guys. I’d rather see them fail than some of these other guys fail. And I’m an old Orioles fan and I’ve watched the Orioles turn into one of the best teams in the league to a cheap team. Hard to get rid of old attitudes. 
Its as if they’re afraid to bring the young bucks  up because then they might have to pay them good money when they start doing well. Some of these guys are 25 years old.

But I’ll bet you Joey ortiz would still be in the minor leagues if he was still on this team

I’d rather him playing then Urias

 

have you seen the recent collective batting averages of our outfielders?

😮

I don't know how much we are "failing" at 32- 18. I guess you thought we should be 34- 16? 35- 15? You can blame the bullpen for that more than the offense considering that the team is 2nd in MLB in HRs and 7th in runs scored. Where you expecting #1 across the board?

      Corbin Burnes 2024

      By skanar · Posted

      If I'm reading this correctly, the Orioles are 6th in defensive value this year and the White Sox are dead last by a lot: to date, they're at -54 runs; the worst team in baseball for all of '23 was -72 (https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/team_compare.cgi?request=1&year=2024&lg=MLB&stat=runs_fielding). So the difference between Burnes and Fedde must be the defensive adjustment. FWIW, fWAR using FIP has them even at 2.0 WAR apiece; using RA9 Burnes is ahead 2.9 to 2.4.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      You do realize our pen has given up fewer runs, fewer hits, fewer BBs, has a lower WHIP, and has more Ks?  I get that they don’t pass your eye test, but the numbers don’t back that up.  With all that said, I think they need to reinforce the pen but let’s stop with the dramatics.

      The OP is too pessimistic. NYY is 5-5 in their last 10, Orioles are 8-2. NYY have cooled down, as predicted. The O's are getting them at the right time. With that said, it's baseball. Anything can happen. I would be surprised if the Orioles don't take at least 2 out of 3, though.

      Objectively speaking I would have WAY MORE confidence in Rodon than Irvin/Kremer/Suarez. And I LOVE what both Irvin and Suarez have done for us this season and couldn’t have dreamed of either giving us any more than they have.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      Holliday is not getting traded IMO, so there’s really no point in discussing that. But there is a case to be made that the other two are a bit redundant and if we plan on doing some extensions, they could be expendable (at least one of them). Off the top of my head. I would strongly consider Miller or Crochet for one of them. I guess I look at it like this, I can see a realistic plausible scenario of us winning a championship or more without the services of Basallo or Mayo. However, I cannot see ya winning this season as is without a meaningful upgrade to the current pitching. Many said all last season, the pitching was good as is, until it (predictably) wasn’t.

      Well for starters, there closer and set up man are both better than ours. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that the Yanks pen is better than the Phills by any stretch. But it is better than ours.
